I have been working on this project for the past few weeks. This is going to be an illustration for a recipe in our food blog (seasoningforeverypalate.wordpress.com). I used colored pencil to add color, and it was very time-consuming, so I am skipping ahead a little bit. At this point, I was still working out the color scheme. I decided to make the larger letters the color of green chilies, and the smaller letters a darker green (like jalapeno peppers). I mixed purple into the green to get the color I wanted. I am also using purple for outlines.
