Veins in Colour

I wanted to try to bring more colour into my work and In order to do this I'd to experimant colouring the A1 sheet with different mediums bewfore doing my whole crumpeling thing so the first one I kinda did by accident but I thought it turned out pretty cool.

 

I was working with chalk pastels and I crumpled up the page, then decided to colour it so I had to straighten it out again and going over it with the pastels then highlighted the folds made by the initial crumpeling, then I crumpled it again and used dark brown pastel to do the last bit! So below are two images of how that turned out:

 

 

Then I tried just pastelling (if thats even a word) the page before the crumpeling (two images below) and I didnt like that as much so I kinda gave up on the pastels then, trying paint today!
