Purple, gold and brick red are the colors I saw in the forest landscape that inspired this painting; my husband and I were hiking when we came to this scene. I couldn't wait to get this image down on paper. The huge bird's nest echoed exactly those purples, golds and reds! My favorite thing about this pastel is the glittery gold that threads through it; oil pastels are very intense! Sennelier makes a set called "Iridescense" that has silver, gold, bronze and a metallic aqua blue...I used these against the deep purple shadows to get depth and contrast.
