For this painting, I wanted to play around with rose madder, cobalt blue and new gamboge because they are wonderfully transparent and great when wanting that sun-kissed look and good when painting white in shadow. I did use a few other colors mostly notably in the background and in places on the porch and cat where I needed to go a bit darker I used permanent alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue.
I'm going to call this "Sunning"
