I began painting the girl's hair, wet on dry watercolor using quinacridone gold and raw sienna for blond highlights. Her yellow dress colors are Winsor yellow and quin gold. His hair is light brown using quin burnt orange, carbazole violet and ultramarine blue; her hair has touches of the blue as well. Masking dots are places where fireflies, or lightning bugs are. He is placing a firefly "ring" upon her finger and the setting is twilight. Flesh colors are burnt sienna and cadmium orange and the time setting is in the mid 1950s. Stay tuned for more to follow later.

I love the yellows on the girl. Such a summery feel already.
