after spending some time mixing a few of my watercolors, i decided to see how many color combinations i could discover using my FW acrylic inks. on the left is a color wheel i painted using brilliant yellow, scarlet, and rowney blue inks. and on the right is a little "study" of painted rectangles, to see what the colors would look like next to each other......and then it turned into a background for a red flower. i must admit that i'm not crazy about that big splotch of blue in the middle.....i kinda wish i had known at the time that i would eventually be adding the red flower......but then again, that's the beauty of the creative process, and just allowing things to "happen"......(but i promise you next time i get ready to paint a big blue splotch in the middle of my paper, i'll think twice about it.....heeheehee).
have a colorful, creative weekend!!!
:))))

Your'e so funny, your own worst critic, like all of us!! We all have our own talents, but I always wanted to paint well. At least as good as your mistakes...heeeheee!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the red flower! I noticed it immediately and thought it turned out perfectly!
ReplyDeleteFunny how as artists we're much harder on ourselves--I didn't even notice the "blue spot" until you said something. Don't care--your artwork just makes one happy to look at it!
Adorable and Gorgeous!I appreciate your nice work. I love painting and painting is my profession. I love making flowers paints.
