For this journal52.com challenge, we had to pick three colors and do a page. I chose to do a collage using orange and blue because they are complimentary colors and I added purple. I love going into the various paint departments and collecting their samples and their adds because they have images that are in the great colors you want to work with. I also found the inside of a gum box had some great designs in blue. I markered over a playing card with purple. I got lucky and had a blue stamp.
I can draw but sometimes I get lazy and I just want to get the work done, so for this piece, I found an image and printed it in black and white. I then traced around each tone change and that became a shape in her face to create the different colors of orange. divide your images into three tones; light, medium, and dark. put the dark tones in the shadows, middle tones everywhere and light tones for high lights.
