Birds


I like this one.

Color is relative.... Lately I've been bringing photographs and art I like into photoshop and examining them with the eyedropper tool. It turns out my conception of color was very skewed. Something that I would have guessed was a blue, or a green, for example, would actually be a magenta or even a red with low saturation. Dark yellows look like they have a green hue, when they actually don't, as in this painting today. I've known this for a while, of course, in a general sense, but before I never released how subtle shifts in color can make such a difference.
