THOUGHTS by Anonymous: Prismacolor Scholars: Color Combinations with Flowers

Hello everyone! I just finished coloring a page from the Obra coloring book series, Obra Botanica. Last December 27, 2015, Cebu adult coloring enthusiasts had a mini gathering. I tried to apply what I've learned that day into this piece.

I never thought black pencil could make your coloring work more beautiful as long as you know how to really use it. As to coloring flowers, flicking is a great technique to make your flowers look beautiful. Color your flower into an upward direction or flicking the pencil upwards. It also creates a gradient effect on your flower. Disclaimer: I did not discover the flicking technique. =D 

In this coloring work entitled Gatsby Girl, I mostly used my Prismacolor Scholars pencil. I only used my Colleen for outlines. So now I share to you my color combination recipe using Prismacolor Scholars.

I used my Scholars on all the flowers. The colors that I'm going to post is according to color from dark to light.
