WOW. This just HAS to be my number one favorite painting that I did so far! :D What influenced my to create the kirin was looking at Kirin MTG cards from the Kamigawa deck. If there's one thing I love about MTG it has to be the artwork. It inspires me so much! :heart: So, anyways, this kirin was originally going to be red transitioning to orange and then to yellow. But then I was like,"Hmmm, why don't I try more complimentary colors?" So that's what happened on the kirin! As for the background, I just let my imagination go wild. For the red part I tried to put orange swirlies insied but they didn't show up.... For the yellow part I just put purple because these two colors make each other stand out. Besides, if you combine yellow with yellow you get.... yellow. But for the green part I just put down a darker green swirly design because I didn't feel like combining pink and green. Besides, these greens make the flowers stand out. What I was trying to teach myself here was detail, color control, and complimentary colors. I think I should have outlined the kirin.... but I completely ran out of black paint...

Completely done with Crayola watercolor paints.
