Murano glassware shelf


Thinking about something decorative, colorful and transparent we thought of Murano glassware, to do an exercise with the primary and secondary colours. We made a drawing with pencils and permanent markers, which could imitate a shelf into a glass shop of the famous Venetian island. Then we painted the design with the three primary colours in watercolors, overlapping them in some areas, to get the secondary colours. The exercise is similar to the the previous post Colored Bulbs, just we changed the subject of the drawing!

      Hi Jen! Those are watercolor paintbrush, but those are like a pen with a small reservoir for the color, as an ink cartridge pen... Have a look on Pentel Water Brush

      or Pentel Aquash

    che idea fantastica...io per trattare colori primari e secondari stavo ancora ai noiosissimi cerchi cromatici!

      il disegno delle lampadine (post "colored bulbs") forse è ancora più divertente! bisogna usare le Ecoline (te le ricordi che le usavamo alla scuola d'arte?) o comunque gli acquerelli... un abbraccio!!!!
