I know I am a bit crazy. And this reflects also in my tangling.
Why am I crazy this time?
Well, I tangled small tiles to fill the pages in my album. Without following tutorials. Often monotangles.
Here I went with some colors that I know that work together. Light blue and brown.

Here I first drew with watercolor felt tip pens the greenish border and dots in the background, then watered it, then drew mooka and tipple on top, then added some purple (purple? I would say porpora in Italian).

I do not remember if I used felt tip pens or watercolor on the background. I think felt tip pens. And then Paradox.
I wanted to draw paradox on paradox with white gel and started in one section. The ink was not dry, and the paper suboptimal, everything was messed up. I blended everything together, made the section grey and drew tipple on top.

Here as well, I messed everything up with ink that did not stick to the paper with shading, so... I changed everything.

And drew over the srose flowers.

Here I am playing with analogue colours. Yes, thanks to a couple of fellow attendants of the CZT EU 9 seminar, Susi and Nirali, I have been starting taking into account the color wheel theory instead of only watching nice palettes like the ones in Figma and Kids Pattern, or asking chatgpt.
Does the tangle in the centre have a name? It is so simple it must have one.
Ehm, I forgot some orbs in the lower leaf.

Here without even noticing I ended up playing with triad colors. I do not have that many colored Pigma Microns, so my choices there are limited!
Ok, here I was cheating a bit, and not creating a tile to fill spaces, since it is a 9x9 cm tile. To be honest, I saw many color schemes I like in instagram from tiles with the tag #tinpokeleaf from an Henrike Bratz intensive course on Pokeleaf. This tile does not exactly use any of the coloring there, but many tiles were mixing white charcoal hard with other charcoal pencils.
And, to fill the last hole, I did a not so coloured grey tile. I think I added somehow some colors but they faded away. Maybe I will add colors when I feel inspired.
Oh, and I forgot this one! Look where I put it! :D
The same tile over day.

And the same tile with daylight! The colors are a bit different.

I also drew a couple of backgrounds on A6 watercolor paper, but will talk more about them when I tangle there!
If you have any suggestions, let me know!
I seldom tangle on small sizes, this thing of filling space forces me to do it, and try stuff in a short time. I think it is pretty useful when you want to try stuff! And that is my phase with coloring!
Next time I should probably have again some tutorials!
