Lesson #4 in Pam's new book is on monochromatic colors. We used black and white images to build a character head and then painted the entire thing with shades of one color. (Next time I need to use a color that darkens more easily. It's hard to darken yellow without it turning green.) In any case, I really like the figure. Next time I will draw a face of my own.

| Lesson #4 |
Since Lesson 3 was Analogous colors and Lesson 4 is Monochromatic colors I thought I'd pull out a project I did last year with a sunflower using these same concepts. Analogous colors are on the right.....monochromatic color on the left. I used yellow again but also used white and black to get a full range. Now you see what I mean about yellow and black making green. Good to remember for the future when I need a nice green.
I can't decide which one I like better! I like them both really...maybe less is more.
So, the next time you're considering a project with color consider a monochromatic scheme or an analogous scheme to create a cohesive look.
