This peace done in gouache was for my core class illustrating "beauty" I struggled on what to do here since the project was so broad i kind of just made it a free for all. Peacocks are a known symbol of beauty. They were known to have challenged the phrase "survival of the fittest" since they did not necessarily need there feathers to survive, but there beautiful tail made it easier to find other mates. More info >> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/01/6/l_016_09.html .... I was trying to contrast the dark colors and the sharp edged background with the soft purely color figure. I am trying to learn the difference between when to use reference and how closely to use it. Clearly i did not use it to throughly here which i am not sure if thats a bad thing or not.
