The task of choosing and applying colour to fabric is a challenging stage of the designing process. I wanted to use colour in a simple but well thought way to obtain a design that looks somehow a little more sophisticated than my previous ones. I like studying how colours are used in fabrics I admire. This particular piece is a Wood Block. I noticed how this design had used the Red and the Darker colour to make outlines...instead of using just the one outline colour. Light blue and light pink are used as fill in colours and in some areas the Red has been used as a fill in too. The darker outline colour has not been used as a flat fill colour mainly because it would be to strong and would dominate the palette but it has been used in the background for the little dots. This is very clever because it adds interest to the background and the flower elements are not floating on a plain surface. I am considering choosing two different colour outlines for my Floral henna design and apply colour in a similar way.
