COLOR
I appreciate the look of black and white, but winter has been long and we have seen a lot of white. I think it is time to try a little color. I thought I would start with a practice piece, since color is new territory for me. I wanted to keep the depth of the charcoal, so I started with an under-painting in charcoal.
After lightly spraying the piece to prevent mixing of the charcoal and color, I added yellows to the pedals.
A little more charcoal was then added to the painted pedals.
I am happy with the result of this fun practice piece, and I am hoping to incorporate it into my next drawing.
And now, it is time for spring. Can’t wait for all the colors it will bring.
