I colored this story of Hanco Kolk, about the origin of Batman, for the book Pep Nu, an initiative by Ger Apeldoorn and published by Uitgeverij L. I wanted to challenge myself, and decided to make use of triadic contrasts. Triadic means a palet of 3 colors oposite of each other in the colorcircle, usually used to get a dynamic atmosphere. With this technique of computer altered watercolor textures I never really know upfront what the result will be. And in this particular case I was afraid that I bit off more than I could chew because I could not get the result I wanted. The only thing to do then is just keep on going and trust that the result eventually will show. It was a relieve when I finally got a satisfying result :-)
