African Grey Parrot - WIP

I am painting this boy using that complimentary color scheme again.  That makes the painting "sing" as Arlene Steinberg says and I have to agree with her.  It does take some work and a few layers before the colors start looking like "grey".  Since this image is a 9 x 12, it's going to take some time to get it done.

Colors used so far:
Cloud blue, Light Peach
Periwinkle, Pumpkin Orange
Celadon Green, Henna
slight touch of blue violet
Tuscan Red, Dark green
Black Grape
Indigo blue
Lemon yellow
Yellow ochre
