More Color

I have done a color library with all my paints in the past week or two. I haven't been up to painting for real, kind of in a slump right now. It is easy and soothing to paint swatches, and now I have a visual of my library of colors. I also mixed all my primaries and made little books to see all the shades of secondary colors that I can mix with my paint. 

Color, Color, Collloorrrrrr

(picture that with a song and dance, please) :)

I am taking Julie Prichard (I can NOT stay away from her classes! Thanks Julie for making me broke!) and Chris Cozen's "Color: Beyond Basics" class. I debated...and debated because funds are limited...and everyone knows how it is in January with money. We have none. BUT, I love color so much and just want to learn and learn, so I say, 'What the hey!" (Yeah I rhyme) and just did it.

Only on lesson 2, and I have learned so much about the paints I already have. Rock on!

Now a picture gallery.

Who knew making color wheels would be so much fun?

The best part of playing with paint, is you get to throw the leftovers on paper and in your art journal. 

These backgrounds will hopefully be the start of another colorful journey.
