Oh color! I adore rich colors. Like in this photo of Virginia Bluebells just beginning to open in a back garden. White to soft pink to rich yummy pink to lavender and then periwinkle blue. Soon they will all be azure blue. I like the mixture in this image. Hmmm. This would make a lovely pastel painting.
To think that early on I was frightened to use color in my artwork. I used charcoal, pencil, crayon all black and white. My very favorite was to use a fine nib pen with India ink. Hatch marks with that fine nib and India ink would create such texture. I still use hatch marks, but love to add color.
