Previously, I referred to drawing from the environment to acquire a certain palette relating to where you live and play. This picture was taken in my garden and then I used the colour-picker on Photoshop to collect and retract a variety of swatches that work well together, as they do in nature.
The colours you will see are on both the caterpillar and the leaves and background. Something about all the colours here just works. They all fall into the same types of colour ranges, for example the yellow, mustard yellow and cream, and then you have the greens.
Taking colour from around you environment makes you notice that you don't notice everything. On the caterpillar's face, you can see some orangy spots, but they are actually that shade of sludgy mud.
Have fun finding the colours that work well on paper because they work well in nature.
