So, base. Keep in mind, I mix my own colors. I used 2 primary wheels- the normal RBY, and then Magenta, Cyan and yellow, or MCY. The exact colors selected for red were crimson, medium yellow hue (actual name on bottle) and prussian blue. I usually will buy a few shades of them, about 2 or 3 each. So other blues might be cerulean, sky, or marine/navy, yellows would be marigold, gold, or dark hue, and reds might be crimson, light red hue, or ruby.
One rule I learned from my teacher is do NOT use black unless it's a primary accent, or focal point, which is what I did. Any dark colors were mixed with charcoal or dark clay grey. White is 2 different, cream white and titanium white. I tried to add the amount of paint I used in the mini pie charts.
Breakdown, the only thing important are the numbers, exaggerated lines/highlights, and the two main piecharts.
Those specific lines in practice- hopefully you can see which specific colors coincided with what. Navy blue would be mixed with white and a drop of bright red hue for that periwinkleish color, magenta, reds and blues. Those are all base colors, I would incorperate yellow either on top or mix it in as I worked. Typically, I will use a material called Jesso which is a canvas primer, but also a paint. Doing this makes the painting quite literally part of the canvas itself, as well as adds texture.
[Linseed oil is every artists' cheat for a watery look with oils. I know many that will refuse because "the point of oils is the richness!" Bitch please, it's still rich, don't be haughty. You're coloring with fucking frosting, a little added oil won't dilute the color. /sneed. ]
You might be confused how the long feathers are the fan brush, use their side and gently flick outwards, you will get that feathery/grassy effect. Here's another example of my work where I use that same technique regarding jesso and the feathering trick

and yes, I have it saved, I can always re upload.
