LIM DT: Shades of Blue

A really quick clean and simple card for this week’s ‘shades of blue’ colour challenge over at Less is More. Blended blues, in Salty Ocean/Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire distress inks, make for the main element of the card with a delicate sentiment to finish. Cut pieces on a diagonal, space them out and mount them on sticky foam for an added bit of depth. That’s all there is to it…

More experiments in colour: mandalas and Promarkers

I’ve drawn a few more mandalas and, during breaks from doing my accounts, I have done some colouring in. This time I seem to have played with tints and shades of the same colour with some grey and an accent colour thrown in here and there.

Simple and blue. I’m not sure of this one, I think the light pink is too dusky.

I’ve used Promarkers to colour these mandalas – alcohol-based ink pens allow blending and layering and smooth gradients.

Art Journal Pages: Colour Or Black and White?

There will be more sneaky peeks on Hochanda’s social media feeds during the coming week.
