Draw 3 shapes that don’t overlap. You should have 4 areas now. Choose 3 colors. Leave one of the shapes white and color each of the others a separate color. Leave a tiny border between the colors so they won’t bleed into each other. Repeat this process until you get lots of different layers and colors created by overlapping colors. I add black at the very end to "lace" the viewer's eye through the painting. I do these instead of color graphs. So much more fun!
It is hard to believe that you only used three colours for this. A super exercise that I will be trying soon. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKaren, this is a great idea. I am going to try it with my watercolors which I’ve not used in a while. Thanks for the plan.
ReplyDeleteI love this and tried it with my very old watercolours. Now to have another go.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lesson. I will try this very soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Thanks! It’s great to be back blogging again! This is one of my favorite warm up exercises. I even found out that sap green was a great glazer in one of my studies!
