Description
I know the title isn't very creative, but it was the best I could come up with at the momentThis is an experiment in colour for me. I had always shied away from using coloured pencils because I could never really get that full rich vibrant colour that I wanted. Instead, I always ended up with a washed out version. But I did some research and talked to other coloured pencil artists and got some tips and this is the result of my colour experiment! I got the colours scanned and as close to my original drawing as possible , though I do think it's a hint darker than the original. Hopefully it translates well to your monitors
Original size 7x9
2h pencil used for the underlying pencil sketch
PrismaColor pencil crayons

Your experiment was a success. This has beautiful, vibrant colors. The butterfly really stands out against the flower. This is a wonderful deviation.
