Flat wash
See pp.70–71
Making sure there is plenty
of the chosen color in the
palette, and applying it in
one uid movement using
a mop brush, helps create
a smooth, at wash.
Balanced composition
See pp.110–113
The curving body of the
snake creates an interesting
variation on an S-shaped
composition, which keeps
the viewer’s eye moving
around the page.
Complementary
colors
See pp.118–119
Yellow and purple are from
opposite sides of the color
wheel. When paired on paper
so they touch and interact,
they enhance each other.
Showcase painting
A limited but satisfyingly complementary color palette, enticing
composition, and use of bold repeated shapes allow this illustration to
uncoil from the page with a pleasing sense of harmony. Clean lines and
interesting color combinations add to the graphic, characterful style.
