About Love Colors
This is one artwork rather than a library. An Art Nouveau portrait, with swirling leaves and blooms threaded through the border, waiting to be filled in reds, pinks and paler tints. The drawing is dense enough that a careful pass takes a while.
With a single image on offer, the tools carry the experience, and they are the right ones. Zoom brings you close enough to shade an individual petal, dragging colours a broad area without a hundred separate clicks, and undo means a bad experiment costs nothing. The result downloads as a file when you are done. Fine work like this wants a mouse, so a computer is the better place for it.
How to play
Choose a colour, then fill the outlined regions one at a time or in sweeps. There is no goal beyond the picture you end up with, and any stroke can be stepped back if the shade turns out wrong.
Controls
- Click a swatch to select a colour, then click a region to fill it.
- Drag across neighbouring regions to colour a large area in one pass.
- Double-click to zoom in for detail work.
- Right-click to undo the last fill.
Tips
- Block in the background before the figure, so the portrait reads against something rather than floating.
- Keep the reds and pinks within a narrow range and let one saturated tone carry the focal point.
- Zoom before touching anything near the floral border, where neighbouring regions are only a few pixels apart.
