This week's assignment was to reproduce from our 100 drawings, three that would be in a "reduced colour palette" of up to three colours. This was almost an exercise in opposites since I am quite comfortable in black and white, pen and ink. I needed help. This deck of cards did the job: PANTONE 35 Inspirational Color Palettes. After flipping through the cards, I tagged four or five favourite palettes, and chose to work from this one:
Then it was time to colour-match against available watercolours. I used: Phthalo Turquoise, Raw Umber, and Quinacridone Gold to approximate the first three colours above. For the wax resist, I used a natural beeswax candle instead of the bright orange one from earlier. Here are the results:
You can compare the originals here and here. All drawings are on Stonehenge using wax, watercolour, and sepia pen.
