Complementary Colours - 4

With this one, I used Nivea cream as a resist over some of the washes. This was after reading that vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a good resist. I couldn't find any (I'm sure I have a huge pot), so Nivea, which can be used as a barrier cream seemed to be the thing to use.

Believe it or not, this is still yellow and purple. I'm amazed at the amount of brown that came through. In "real life" some of the brown is very dark and chocolate looking.

This is my favourite of the three, I really like the dynamism of the strokes.

This challenge is to use complementary colours, i.e colours which are opposite to each other on the colour wheel. I used yellow and purple.

This is the second one, trying to be more free with the strokes.

This challenge was to use just one colour and white. This is the first one I did, experimenting with brush strokes with a fairly wide brush that I have.
