The colors used on this were a medium to dark red, vermillion, cobalt
blue and sap green to medium grass green. The beasts are beige to a dark
tan, and the bird at the bottom is red-breasted. The sword is metallic
silver. Metallic gold was used behind the versal and in various parts
of the bar coming down. If you decide to diaper behind the versal, as
a suggestion, you might want to make the versal gold so it will stand
out more. White highlight was used on the vines, flowers and colored part
of the bar. |
