Hello Colored Pencil Artist:
What does the color Violet, commonly known as Purple, mean to you? In ancient times it was the color of fabric that was reserved for royals…I’m so glad those days are long gone! Don’t you love to wear violet! I also like to use touches of violet in almost everything that I pencil so this basic beginner project was fun to design.
