Adding Blues

Now comes the challenge of piecing the images together. The yellow is distributed across the canvas evenly with a long arc of primary yellow from the top left to the bottom middle. In the whole sweep I see the outline of a guinea pig head with the dark yellow surrounded by light yellow in the center as the nose, the large yellow circle as the eye. The large yellow circle is also beginning to look like an prehistoric goddess sculpture round and fertile.

I have changed the green mixture to phthalo green (blue shade) and primary yellow, and painted it over each shape. It is almost impossible to see the difference separately, but next to other colors it blends so much better. Phthalo green (blue shade ) and white in various saturations are also spead across the canvas. Ultramarine blue alone and mixed with white is the next layer of color. I know that in theory blues are supposed recede in a painting, but I often paint them as foreground.
