Gail Boyle - From the Colour category:
If you use colour carefully, that is, placing a softer 'off' colour next to pure colour, it helps add the magic touch to your work - and that special look. (Gail Boyle)
Gail Boyle - From the Complementaries category:
If you want a specific colour to really stand out, put its complementary colour down first. (Gail Boyle)
Gail Boyle - From the Contrasts category:
It is the contrast of thinly applied darks sitting next to impasto lights that gives the effect of transparency and bouncing light. (Gail Boyle)
Gail Boyle - From the Light category:
When light hits opaque pastel it bounces back immediately, creating a wonderful vibration. (Gail Boyle)
Gail Boyle - From the Pastels category:
With pastels you don't need gimmicks and are only limited by your imagination. If something doesn't work for you... simply rub/scrub the offending area right back to the paper colour and build it up again. (Gail Boyle)
