The Way to Colour: Begin with the major paisley forms, and work out, in vivid colors taken on Indian art-deep reds, pure oranges, yellow-sunshine, royal blues, emerald greens. Richness and contrast may be added through metallic colours such as gold and bronze. Gradients imply a combination of darker and lighter hues of the same color to bring out elegance of the paisley curves. Best choices are colored pencils or fine-tipped gel pens to allow getting the little details and the spiral lines. Balance with a alternation of warm and cool hues, or use a steep bright scheme to be festive in an Indian-style theme. Take your time and admire the rhythm of the running lines and say this design is full of vivid energy.
