Colour inspiration



My apologies for the infrequent posts of late. I have had lots to do as well as a sick little boy to take care of. Once this week is over, things should settle down with all my assessments done and submitted.

I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what I have been up to. Above is a colour study I have been working on. The project involves drawing inspiration for a springtime colour palette and exploring the colours in each image.

Yellows, whites and pinks. These colours make me happy.

  5. I just love Gouache paints - and mixing colours! Looks like fun Viv. I had a look at my box of paints a few weeks ago to have a play with them and the Gouache tubes were all dried up {it's been awhile} - time to go to the art store. Have fun!

  6. Beautiful, Viv :) I've been really drawn to these colours, lately - maybe it's my own little rebellion against winter setting in? Hope your little guy is better soon :)
