Summer of Color
This is the first time I have joined this challenge. I'm not sure I'll manage to keep up since I seem to have that problem this year. I will try and I will have fun :)
Using a limited color palette was more difficult than I thought it would be...after what's so hard about creating an image using only 2 main colors and one accent. WRONG! I found that I had to almost slap myself to keep from grabbing a different color for shading and whatever.
So here is my first simple entry ... using water soluble oil pastels on watercolor paper.
I just know you're surprised it's a flower :)
The Hub's calls these my "Hippy-Love & Peace" flowers.

Hi Carol. Your flower is awesome and yes, a little hippish and cool. Nice job, perfect with the colors. I always love the quotes you have on your blog, very thought provoking. Take care, enjoy the day.

Lovely carol. I agree it is so difficult using just three colours. I found myself struggling with these three ! Hope you have time to play along fir more of the challenge! :)

And, Carol, it is such a nice flower, too. It looks great against the background color.

ReplyDeleteI need some of those water soluble oil pastels. Mine require turp or a turp-like solution to activate them. Your flower is simply stunning. I see the shading, even though you only used the three colors. This is wonderful.
