Color Throwdown

Hey everyone! Know what day it is? :-) It's a new Color Throwdown Challenge day and Barbara has some fabulous colors for us - inspired by this gorgeous piece of pottery!

 

I was inspired by the blended "running" of colors in the pottery and thought I would try to go for a mixed media look.  Well...let's just say I need some more lessons - lol!  I started by placing a Plaid Folk Art Pebbles Background stencil on some watercolor paper and colored in a number of circles using 4 different shades of water soluble wax pastels.  I spritzed with water, then waited for it to dry.  I moved the same stencil to a different angle,  then lightly spritzed on 3 different Dylusions ink colors: London Blue, Vibrant Turquoise, Crushed Grape.  I'm also playing along with the Retrosketches Challenge this week.  Thought the CAS layout would work and not cover up much of the background.  Then again...maybe I should have found a challenge sketch that WOULD cover more of it up. :-)
