    I love this! Thank you for sharing! Do you choose a color palette before you start?? Do you choose tools and items before you get started?

    • @jenfletcherart3391
      @jenfletcherart3391 10 дней назад

      You’re very welcome! Sometimes I choose colors first and sometimes I don’t. A lot of times I’ll just pick a red, a yellow, and a blue, white and black and start mixing to see what feels good that day. Tools are the same. I have baskets full of items so I just pick out what I want. When I want specific limitations to eliminate overwhelm if that’s how I’m feeling then I’ll choose colors and tools first.

    • @jenfletcherart3391
      @jenfletcherart3391 5 месяцев назад

      Hi Jessica! The crayons are called Neocolor II and they’re made by Caran Dache. For focal points, that takes a lot of practice. But, some basic composition tips are to choose an off center point on your page, use a large element surrounded by smaller ones, or use complementary colors (like blue/orange or red/green) or darks and lights next to each other to draw attention to your focal area. Hope that helps without being overwhelming!
