This 11 x 14 painting was done for a challenge on WetCanvas. I used only 3 colors from the DaVinci "Toucan Triad." I am amazed at the variety of colors you can get by blending just 3 colors!

I HAVE MOVED!
About Me
- Joan
- I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage. Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Your rooster is super! I love that blue tail.
It was fun to paint this. Using just 3 colors is an interesting way to approach something.
The colours in the rooster are very rich. I have also had success using triads. It's a good challenge. Whatever the colours in this triad are, they have worked really well.
What a great bird! The colors are very nice... Glad you had fun, as well.
Wendy - Thanks. I have another one that I did with this triad that I'll post too.
Jo - Thank you. It's really interesting to see what you can get with only 3 colors. And looking at the colors, you'd never think it would work.
Hi Joan, I love your rooster. Wow only 3 colors. You make it look easy. I think it has the master feel to it. Ai
