Chasing Leonardo part 2! Moving from charcoal to watercolor with different color schemes. You’ll see: monochromatic, complimentary and analogous colors. #noms

@CPitsenberger Thanks! It can be difficult but what’s great is that there are a few straightforward corrections that can really get students pumped to keep drawing- it feels good to improve
