Artstorm Contest #66 - Masks. Colors of Spring

Hi friends!

I never see a MardyGra's Carnival in real life. All I know about this is articles in magazines and TV shows on Discovery Channal.The fact that for someone a part of life and cultural traditions, I imagine as mysterious exotic of a distant country...
I like the colors of this holiday and the feeling of fun in connection with the arrival of spring...
So today I painted such a colorful mask on [contest](https://steemit.com/contest/@deemarshall/artstorm-contest-66-day-5-mardi-gras-week-theme-today-masks) by @deemarshall

![x5qsbvwp02.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/x5qsbvwp02.jpg)

Today I decided to draw with traditional art materials, namely paints of tempera.

![r34espwmnk.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/r34espwmnk.jpg)

Sketch.
Usualy I draw on watercolor paper high quality.

![yj804q0s1b.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/yj804q0s1b.jpg)

Steps.
For the yellow parts, I mixed cadmium yellow paint, burnt sienna and natural sienna.
Highlights on metal areas of mask & beads I maked by lemon cadmium.

![2xb50hjyko.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/2xb50hjyko.jpg)

For the purple ribbons and beads I take white color, cadmium red & ultramarine. Shades should be cooler and darker than light parts.  This will add relief to the loops of ribbons.

Then I painted a green fragments of the mask with emerald green, yellow cadmium and some white.

![emon12i6f5.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/emon12i6f5.jpg)

Finally I drew a background for mask. Real thing can't just hang in the air!
Therefore I drew a wood door on which hangs a wreath with a mask. I needed burnt siena, natural sienna and black paints/
Lower part of door should be darket than upper through drop shadow from wreath.

![ljwwvyi2sw.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/ljwwvyi2sw.jpg)

And the very last stroke!
Whith mixing white & ultramarine I add a highlights on a folds of ribbons to show what they from sparkling textil like organza.

![x5qsbvwp02.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/x5qsbvwp02.jpg)

I think I do good painting!

Have a nice day!

I have not ever been to celebrate this event myself either, but I think you definitely captured the spirit of it!  Love all of the traditional colors and how you put them all together so well. :)
