Three Red Pears
9x12 watercolor and gold Sharpie marker on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done last week, an exercise done for my Monday afternoon class. With this approach, a color temperature palette is chosen of warm or cool (reds, oranges, yellows or blues, greens, etc.)then begin with any but only paint a small, medium, and large shape in that chosen color. That hue cannot be used again unless mixed with another for a new color, even white. May add black and at least one cool color if using a warm selection or one warm if using a cool. When done select another small, medium, and large shape already painted to add pattern to with a gold marker for warms and a silver marker for cools, as seen here on the black. Any tiny dot, circle, square, diamond, cross, etc. will work but do not go over the entire composition of flat shapes.
