For this exercise I chose to try and match the colours of this greetings card that I had hanging around, it was painted by an artist called Wu Minrong. I used acrylics and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, I think the very bluest parts could have been toned down a bit though. I used soft pastels to add the colours of the little birds on top after the paint dried. It didn't really look right until I added the red Chinese letter marks on top, they really lift it. I found this more enjoyable than the fabric matching exercise, possibly just because I made a bad fabric choice though.
