Zebra and the Donkey

Painted this cute donkey form an old picture that I took in a local farm.More use of my new deep scarlet , as you can see! It goes so well with the purple; doesn't it?

I do try to paint a zebra in black and white but it doesn't work and I always end up using a color.This time it was Deep Shadow Violet by Daniel Smith.I added Payne's Grey for darker areas.No black, after all.

  1. This is really beautiful!
    Payne's Gray is one of my favorite colors!
    the Deep scarlet seems to be also a beautiful color...
    I'll try to find it the next time that I visit our local Art store.
