I usually use the same colors when you use the Kuratake paints but I did make some changes just to use some colors that I have never used before.

And your remark of "it is just paper and paint so let yourself experiment" was never so relevant as when I could not "unsee" the llama in one of the paintings.  Soooo, I just went with it.  LOL  I find that I am more likely to experiment when I am working in my sketchbook but the Llama just took over.  And I did a copy just to play with the marks to see where they would go before actually marking on the painted piece.  I think I giggled most of the time while I was working on this. 

 

And in my 4 little pieces I wound up liking the one with the pop of blue teal the best. 

I have really come out of my comfort zone on these.  Thank you for this class.  It is so much fun!
