Playing With Colour

I decided to sign up for Joanne Sharpe's Color Love 101 in an effort to learn more about using some of the wonderful, colourful watercolours, markers and other media I have in my studio.  I've always been a little afraid of watercolour paints in particular, so I hope that this gives me some knowledge about how to make the most them.

This first image is a page I did using watercolour paints and Tombow markers.  It already has some dimensionality showing, but after playing a little more with my Intense pencils, pencil crayons and my trusty 'White Out' pen, I'm happy with the bright, crisp colours and the 3-D effect I've been able to achieve.  Wow.  To think this is just the first lesson and I'm already feeling more confident!

    Love the way that came out! Color is just so great - I could never be a black-and-white person.

      Thanks Jean. I couldn't agree with you more. I'm solar powered and further fuelled by colour!

    Thanks Birgitta. On days like this (dull and rainy) the colour lifts the mood! ;o)

      Thanks. I find using the white out pen as a final step is the trick.
