Adding Colour

To begin this task I created several colour palettes that represented my keepsake either physically or emotionally. I have created colour palettes in the past, however I had never thought of creating them based on what emotions are evoked from objects. I really enjoyed making them, and I think it was good to do this before going straight into adding colour to my negative space drawings. It allowed me to take more time into thinking what colours should be added rather than picking random ones that do not relate to my keepsake, and have no relevance.

Below are the final outcomes from adding colour to photocopies of my negative-space drawings. I think I have used colour in an effective way, to make areas stand out that wouldn't otherwise. I think however that on their own they each look random, but together become a set. Therefore if displayed, I would only ever display them together. If I repeated this task I would take more time in being more accurate with applying colour as some of the samples look too childish.
