Color Challenge: Saturday Indigo.
I found out about the color challenge that's going on and just had to join! :) I used alcohol ink to make my entry!
My friend had sent me some alcohol inks and solution along with some yupo paper. It is a really fun craft. I will probably post a tutorial video soon on how to make this art. I have to admit I was confused as to whether indigo is blue or purple when I look online I see both? So, this hopefully counts.
I also wanted to share the runner up.
Just meaning I was having trouble deciding which to submit. hehe
Honestly they both look better in person. The colors are a bit different and theres fine details that are a bit washed out in the photos. And I took a lot of photos and have a DSLR. It is just so hard getting art to look exactly right in photos. :)
Brilliant! ♥
Beautiful bright colors! You may even post with the tag #watercolorchallenge! Just check my post of today: https://steemit.com/watercolorchallenge/@kalemandra/watercolor-challenge-i-refresh-the-challenge-proposals-summary-of-my-paintings-so-far
This isnt water color though! :O It is alcohol ink mixed with alcohol. Is that still okay? :)
Thank you! :)
very nice, so expresive @lauralemons
Thanks!! :) I love your username!! haha
jajaja it's from an iron maiden song. :)
I believe they look better in person (these kinds of things always do) but they don't look all that bad here either! I like the top one better just for that cool patterny thing that looks like background on either side, because the colours in both are pretty nice.
Thanks. :) These are my first two creations with this medium and I only have 3 colors atm but I plan to get more supplies and keep doing these because they are really fun.
I think you picked the right one. I like both but the first one is my favorite. Would love to see how you did these. Thanks for the share.
Thanks! :) I will try to do a tutorial. Maybe after I get more supplies and practice a bit more myself but really anyone can do these that's the beauty. My friend who sent it to me calls it "stress free art". :)
Super pictures. Pink and yellows are also quite hard to capture- I feel your pain!!
Thanks a lot! I just did another one that I adore but don't want to post a million posts so I may make a few more and post them all later today. :D
Oh I can post it here tho:
Both are awesome well done
Thank you! :)
Stunning image. Lovely variations of lights and darks. For me indigo is in the very deep blue black areas. Indigo as a watercolor pigment is a blue/black ~ Great to use to darken colours when mixing, instead of using black, as it adds richness to an intensity.
Love this picture. Really cool art form. Yes please post a tutorial on this artistic process.
AWESOME Followed and upvoted ..!
