Tutorial. Grasshopper Part 3

This tutorial addresses the problems colourists have with picking colours and planning their work. Using this multi part tutorial we will colour the grasshopper picture in Hanna Karlzon's colouring book 'Sommarnatt' ('Summer Nights' in English). EDIT: This part 3 of a multi part series. If you haven't seen part one yet I suggest you pop over and have a look at it here:    • Colouring Tutorial. Grasshopper Part 1   In this third part we colour the background. I will show you exactly how to achieve that attractive smooth transition through a series of colours across the colouring page which will give a great background for your work. i go into a lot of detail about the planning and execution of this important stage of colouring a page so that you can take these skills and use them in your own art work. Items used: Book: Sommarnatt (Summer Nights) by Hanna Karlzon Pencils: Faber Castell Polychromas Plain paper (A cheap sketch book is best but any old paper will do.) In the next part of this tutorial we'll be colouring the background of the grasshopper picture.grasshopper. Colour pencil alternatives for the discontinued FC light violet: Derwent Artist or Studio Blue Violet lake (27), Luminance pencil Ultramarine Violet No 630, Lyra Rembrandt's light violet are all good substitutes. I apologise for this problem. I don't understand why FC would cancel a colour that has no compatible alternative.
