Desert Donkeys

15x11 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done yesterday of two friends I put in a southwestern setting.  I used quinacridone gold as a mother color in this composition while employing other warms such as quinacridones magenta, violet, and burnt orange. Cool accent colors of blues manganese, indigo, prussian and ultramarine helped support a hot, dry, sunny day theme.
