I have always struggled with using colour, especially for the main focus of an image. Being comfortable with monochrome tones has limited me somewhat and made me nervous of using a multitude of colours. Familiarising myself with work that shows an abundance of colour will be very helpful in order to learn what works best to communicate certain ideas.
The colour of an image can set a tone and atmosphere to a piece. I want to learn how to control my use of colour and will experiment with media in order to do this.

Contrasting and complimentary colours can be very effective, red and blue are a particular favourite pairing of mine when browsing work of other practitioners. Following the observation of illustrators like Isabelle Vandenabeele and Lauren Moreau whose work is so vibrant I was inspired to try out a variety of inks and tools.
