I do not know weather to colour from the back or front. Which one do I colour from ?
please answer
It depends what you are doing really, but you can do either – Dorso colours/ oil pastels are usually used on the back for a subtle background. Polychromos pencils can be used like that too but also used on the front of the parchment to colour flowers, or other designs for a brighter, fresher colour. I have only used paints, inks and pens on the front so far. Try out what you want to do on scrap parchment and see if you like it!
