You Choose the Hue and Color Scheme – Week 8

This week’s line drawing that I will paint with a dominant color and color scheme chosen by one of you is … Don’t think it is too late in the day to play and be the first to send me a choice. I’m posting these in the afternoon (East Coast time) so that West Coast friends may play, too.

Family Treasures No. 75 – Line Drawing for Color Scheme Game – You Choose

Simply choose one from Card A and one from Card B, click on the link below and let me know what your choices are. I will use the choices of the first person who contacts me and post the finished sketch tomorrow. Thanks for playing!

Everyone who sends me choices will receive, by email, a pdf file of the above drawing that may be printed out on 140 lb watercolor paper and painted with a choice of color scheme and hue so that participants may play the game with the same drawing. If you choose to paint your own version, please send me a photo or scan of your painting and I will add it to this post so that everyone may see the infinite varieties of color applications to the same drawing. No rush, I’ll continue to add to this post whenever I receive a file.

If you want to use regular copy paper, please feel free to apply color with colored pencils, markers, crayons or anything else you might want to play with.
