Kamehameha
I'm trying out less literal colors in this piece.
I've shifted the colors in the Kamehameha Butterfly; the black is now blue, and the oranges richer than in my photo references. The magenta and violet shadows contrast with the brightened foliage.
The lilly under him on is usually more orange than the russet I've used here.
