Instead of doing homework over each weekend it was decided to do bows as a project grade. With this project we also incorporated it into a Color Pencil Magazine challenge. I'm not very good at prisma color, but the requirements for this project were that it had to be 80 percent prisma color, my project was actually all in prisma colored pencils.
Overall, I haven't had that much experience with this type of medium, I drew on top of drawing paper which had a smaller tooth. I started out on a paper with a large tooth and found that the colors from the prisma pencils did not blend as I would have liked so I started over. When I started over I went smaller, which mentally helped me overcome how overwhelming prisma colors in general can be. As I was working on this project I noticed while although the colors did come through more on black paper, it was more challenging to get the whites to show through, so I actually had to add more black in the darker areas to create contrast.
Also, one thing I did not like were the metallic prisma colors, which are the silver and gold bows on this piece that was created by me. Overall, I am really satisfied how it turned out, and I loved creating this piece. It's very satisfying to think of your piece when you begin that it actually turn out better than expected. If I could do prisma colors again I probably would after creating this piece.
