Two Hue Drawing

Join the fun in September, 2025 at @bardotbrush with @lisabardot to experiment with color; also joining is artist Ana Bianchi @analovescolor. See all the prompts now at Making Art Every Day.

Today’s lesson was how to select colors for two-hue illustration — keeping the palette and the effect simple. Here’s the palette I chose for each of the color variations. By putting the colors on separate layers we can easily update to a totally new feel for the drawing with new colors.

You can see I chose a medium hue, then a lighter and a darker version of each one, balancing the colors in the drawing, keeping one color set as the main one.
