Steve recently “challenged” me to color one piece of art on four different papers, just to see how each paper changes the look of the colored object. So we printed a small cupcake that I drew on white, black, tan and gray papers. I then proceeded to color the cupcakes with the Derwent Chromaflow colored pencils, doing my best to try and color each cupcake the same.
It was a lot of fun to do, and was so interesting to see how the colored art looks on each type of paper. Comment below which is your favorite?

Love them all but my favorite is the tan. I have a thing with tan paper and will sometimes copy my white coloring on to a tan paper. There is just something about the way a tan background makes different colors stand out that I love.
