Seeing Red!

Seeing Red!

This is an impromptu party with a red theme.

Some people are 'seeing red' over an article they have REaD, Remembrance Day is only a couple of days away (red poppy), Daniel Morcombe Day has just passed (more red) and we can play Simply Red songs....lol

Re: Seeing Red!

really! thank you! @Faith-and-Hope are you working on any other art projects atm?

im not happy with the way mine turned out so not putting it up here

Re: Seeing Red!

Keep working with it @outlander ...... I have learned to go past the point where I think a piece has "failed" and keep experimenting with it anyway ......

Try adding in some purple to the background maybe ...... or green, or blue ...... these colours will make the red of the poppy really "pop".

If your watercolour pencils have a variety of reds, use them all in the poppy ..... and maybe pink and orange too ..... play with it. It doesn't matter if you end up messing it up entirely cos you're already not happy with it ..... some magic may happen.

Re: Seeing Red!

thanks @Faith-and-Hope i dont have a very good range of colours. they are pretty basic ones so i dont have all the different tones in there. you know how you paint over them with water, thats the part i find really hard as i cant get them to mix properly.

this was one i started before switching pencils- these were done with just the average ones

i find i cant really paint well at all, i find that i paint abit better without so many disturbances and people around and yesterday everyone was around so made it harder. and with pops friend coming over 4 times yesterday by the time i even got my drawing stuff out i had to move everything off the table again. mondays coming though so might give it another go

i want to try and improve even this drawing so any tips for this one with just the standard pencils
