30W30 Color Washes

November 6, 2012

It`s color wash time! And this was hard. There are many types of washes. But I wanted a color wash that looks a little like a painting that went ombre. (Here is a video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jPanPCfYMk)It`s a gradual change of color. The watercolor above is more successful than the one below. The red watercolor made a pool and it doesn`t look right. It was still fun! Here is the list of the pieces coming on for 30 Drawings in 30 Days.

30W30 Neutrals

November 5, 2012

Neutrals? This is hard because what are neutrals to you, are not neutrals for me. For 30 Drawings in 30 Days I decided to do Fall colors that are neutrals. In terms of color theory, neutrals are the colors you would get when you mix complementary colors and add black or white to manipulate the value of the hue. Once again, I had no clue what to draw and her weird hair shows it. Maybe I`m too critical. Meh! Enjoy!

30W30 Dark Colors

November 4, 2012

Still doing 30 Drawings in 30 Days and on the list is dark colors. Now I would have gone black and red, but thought red and brown is a more appetizing combination of colors. Don`t you think? :D

30W30 Bright Colors

November 3, 2012

For 30 Drawings in 30 Days, I had bright colors to tackle. This was a good exercise because my palette only has three colors and this got me out of my comfort zone. Wanting to draw something that was both quick and easy I chose a pair of lips, dripping color.
