Zuka Tango!

I decided to paint Zuka for his alert expression and because he was a vivid orange color.  I used Australian Sienna, Cad Red, Cad Yellow Light and Transparent Red Oxide to get the range of oranges I needed. 
He was a challenge in more ways than one - the angle of his head proved to be harder than I thought it would be - but I am pleased with the results!  I especially love the intensity of the colors, and his expression!
