In the Womb of the Rose - Workshop Guidelines and Login

Please read the guidelines below if you are visiting a workshop for the first time - otherwise you can access the workshops by clicking on the image above.

You need to work with each other to agree on the following: You can use the guidelines on the website or change the m if you mutually agree but you need to ensure your images are compatible, read from a distance and have colour themes in common so that they are harmonious.

Below are the main areas for discussion:

Colour of main figures background
Size of figures and clarity of main image
Clarity of symbolic items
Background details (small trees) (houses or whatever)
Balance of colours overall in the whole section
Borders - these could be in common or with a linking theme - i.e. the same patterns but slightly different colours - or the same colour and different patterns.
Patterns in the smaller tracery panels
