Backyard Visitor - Baxter the Rabbit
Posted by Trae Mundt on
Do you enjoy backyard visitors? My family does. It's very fun to share short videos of four-legged or feathery yard guests.
For my family, this bunny is a frequent visitor.
I chose to paint this bunny both with cool and warm grays and browns. I added strokes of blue in his fur making sure I paid attention to the value of the colors.
Color value is the relative brightness of a color in comparison to other colors. The values of colors have to be close to each other to create a smooth velvety transition between the colors. Look at Baxter's ears to see how careful attention was taken to create a softness to his ears.
I love the stylized leaves painted in blues and greens. They show movement and bring a sense of style and serenity to the garden scene.
