Conveniently, this has coincided quite neatly with Bob (my brilliant lawyer boss) being away for 10 days. So I'm free to to have fun without worrying about work.
Meanwhile, I thought I'd post some color exercises I've done lately on complementary color schemes (Brenda, note the "e"!). It was fun to put these together.

I've been doing color exercises in a journal, collecting color bits from photos to capture various ranges of hues. It's simple, but it IS making me look at color with a different, more conscious eye.
My compliments on your colour collections!
ReplyDeleteDiane, this is a great exercise and certainly makes you see things in more detail. I guess I'm going to have to start keeping a design journal. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteA big hug to my all time favorite teacher. Sue changed me from a follower to a starter - doing my own thing. She is a fabulous teacher and artist.
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful ! What a great exercise idea. Thanks for posting about it.
ReplyDeleteO Wow Diane. These are such a wonderful collection of colors and images. I am thrilled with what you made and can see them framed and hung as art.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I can use this idea to get my husband to see the color scheme ideas I have for decorating. Yippee!
