"Three little birds"

(5.5 x 7 inches oil on canvas)

Hi everyone its been a while since i joined any contest as i have been busy with work family and painting for clients. I would like yo thank my wife Hive account@veravalle and my eldest daughter Bianca for this idea, i asked both of them what picture would i use for this particular painting and they choose 2 pictures that i had to combine and to make it more vibrant.

Choice of my wife this is a beach in the Philippines, particularly in Ilocos, the beach is called "Santiago"

Choice of my daughter, and thats my daugher photoshot by my wife, while i was surfing in "Malibu"

Here is a process of my art

• I used cadmium yellow, and titanium white for the sun then alizarin crimson to form orange, and pthalo blue for the sky and the ocean, yellow ochre fro the sand. And thats all the color i used.

• Then started using this favorite style of using different color with i short stroke, thank you to Hive account@aksinya as i learned this style from her.

• Then i completed the sky with the clouds and started the reflection of the sun in the oceanusing cadmium yellow and titanium white.

• Then finished up the ocean and the shore with phtalo blue and titanium white.

• Then i used ivory black to make my daughters outline.

• Then finished up with the three little birds in the picture then finished.

• Here is another painting im finishing up for Hive account@thereikiforest, just to show you reference of the paintings.
