Purple Passion

A big thanks to Laura, aka "the Diva," for challenging us to use purple.  This creation took on a life of its own and I love it.  Hope you do, too.

    This is a beautiful combination of colors and shapes and textures. Looks like you used colored pens and watercolors. Really nice job.

      Those are the exact words that crossed my mind when I looked at it: soft and dreamy.... Beautiful!

    Karen - You are right - I used a purple watercolor pencil, a blue sharpie pen, Whispers pens (similar to Copic in that they have a blender pen), then I went crazy with regular watercolors. I ended up using a white galaxy marker to bring back some of the white.

    Thanks, everyone.

    Great Cris! You will laugh when you see mine, we were both on the same hazy thought wave!

    Cris, I love the purple, but especially that you added a touch of blue as well. It's a very calming tile. Beautiful work!
