Analogous Colors

Analogous schemes are colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. Usually three colors are chosen—for example, blue, violet and red (primaries and the secondary between them), yellow, yellow-green and green (the primary, tertiary and secondary that sit next to each other). However, you can expand this as much or as little as you like.

TINK

Watercolor pans

Tink was a lot of fun to create. Although it uses a cooler color palette, there is something outdoorsy and water-like about how this finished up—like a garden by the sea. Tink is a tangle created by Carole Ohl, CZT, and I’ve varied it. I also (inadvertently) used colors that reflect that other Tink, a certain fairy in Peter Pan!
