After painting a number of landscapes I have decided I need a little wildlife to spice up my life. This step is the formulation of the composition and still in gray tones. I like to draw with paint and often start with a range of grays looking for value contrasts and interesting shapes. Right now the painting is flat, but will gain dimension as it progresses (I hope).
This little toucan will be very colorful and fun to paint once the composition is established. I am considering having a variety of leaves and fruit in the painting...maybe with a flower or two. What do you thing? Perhaps I should add another toucan to keep him company? This is the fun of painting...so many possibilities.
