This was supposed to be “Color tree 5th sketch” because it’s a follow up on something I tried yesterday.
Holding the pencil the way I described yesterday gives much more color but you lose control. Which is fine because it gives the drawing a feel like anything can happen. But it also means that the color doesn’t cover to whole sheet. There is a lot of white visible within the tree. So this time I thought I’d combine the regular way of drawing to cover the sheet with the new way to get the new feel.
Then I came to the background. Yesterday I used one color green for the grass and one color blue for the sky. Which isn’t very interesting to watch.
Today I thought I’d add molehill (which didn’t work very well) and I’d add some more colors and since it’s only the background I didn’t bother with keeping the colors separate.
In doing so I discovered something new. You don’t need a tortillon or a piece of paper to blend colors. It’s also possible to use a pencil in a different color. Although you can’t see it very well in this scan the light green pencil drags the darker green over the paper. It didn’t work as well with the sky. Maybe I didn’t use the right colors.

Which means that my next drawing will be of a sunset with a green field to see how it works out.
