Moving Forward to Color

Here are a few shots of the collected pieces of this project. I started into the color portion and got pretty far because I had already mixed up so many colors for the color sample so I though why waste paint? I think I might have too many pure reds in my color project and I was having trouble getting super-dark earth tones from my paints. Perhaps my red is too warm but I was hesitant to add a little cool red to make a better dark earth tone in case that would ruin the integrity of my project. I like to imagine the dark reds as representing the rust taking over my decayed magical world and the greens representing the parasitic vines and moss suffocating the cement steps and fences.
