Exploring yellow...

Another piece for this months theme at AJJ  'the colour yellow' which has been chosen and hosted by Rike from Rike's art. 
As yellow isn't a particular favourite colour of mine its been quite interesting and inspiring seeing how others use the colour.

This week I had a little play with my watercolours trying out different colours to go with yellow and quite like this result of using a mix of quin rose/quin lilac and claret. 
I finished off with some scribbled doodling in black to outline flowers.
I then scanned my painting and had fun with a few digital alterations and overlaid them on a pale yellow background.

 
my original started like this before adding the black scribbled outlines. 



Thanks so much for stopping by...
Happy Friday - Have a great weekend.

    You have used those shades of yellow beautifully Gill, it's a marmite colour that can produce the most beautiful of things. I love how you have scanned and used it for a digital display, something I would love to do but never seem to have a spare moment to try. A very pretty display indeed.
    Wishing you a super weekend & Thank you for bringing a little sunshine today.
    Hugs Tracey xx

    So much prettier with the outline definition. Love this and can't believe you watercoloured it.

    I like this painting by itself but it really makes it even better when you modified it digitally and made the page background out of it. What a cool idea Gill. :) Hope you are having a good week. Hugs-Erika

    This is just lovely, it is great how the flowers changed by adding the black scribbled outlines, so beautiful! Your digital alterations are gorgeous and it became a fantastic page with a clever quote! This yellow and lilac shades work together very well!
    Thank you for joining AJJ to my theme!
    Wish you a happy weekend!
    Liebe Grüße, Rike

    Wow, your watercolour is stunning! I love the colours that you used and your doodles finish it beautifully 😁. I hope you've had a good week, it's turned warmer here and we've had some lovely sunshine the last couple of days which has been great! Even though it seems a bit early, I even have some spring flowers flowering in my garden ...lol 😉. Happy Friday and Weekend! J 😊 x

    A fabulous page Gill, your original painting looks beautiful. I love the shades of yellow you used, I think many of us have been challenged with this colour to use.
    Have a good weekend.

    This is fabulous Gill! I love how you've combined your painted page with the digital 'stuff' they work fabulously together. The only thing I can do on a computer is copy and paste! Have a very happy weekend, Sue xx

    This is seriously marvellous starting with your lovely yellow flowers and the variations and overlays.
    I love the squiggly outlining and the strip of the yellow flowers on the right. I would buy this as a card right away if I saw it in a shop. It started off beautifully and ended up beautiful too.

    I am running way, way behind, Gill. I just learned I have pneumonia and was told to rest. However, I simply had to stop by and let you know how much I love, love your watercolor flowers. The doodles added the extra umph to make them pop off the page. Thanks for sharing them with us at Art Journal Journey, dear.
