Colour Exploration - Page Four

Page Four, so I am behind.

I had planned one page a week,

back in January!

Page Four - Give Yourself Time

This is more personal.

Give myself time to play, I can't job search

24 hours a day it is distressing!

 

Discordant Colour Scheme

To create this page I had to mix up some of my own colours.

To do this I spent an afternoon working

with the colour wheel & my supplies.

I drew wheels & filled them in using my own paints.

I will get round to sharing them at some stage.

I will also share my Layer Maps at a later date.

I mixed Rose & Cerulean Blue for a Red Violet,

for the coloured stenciling, I mixed

Peeled Paint & Twisted Citron distress re-iners into

gel medium. I wish I had made it a little brighter.

For my Red-Orange colour - I used;

Altenew Ink Autumn Blaze.

Stamps;

Heidi Swapp, Crafty Individuals

My observations;

Initially I disliked this from the point of view,

the green stenciling was too pale.

Truth, I loved the purple background so much,

I felt I spoiled it adding the green.

I love the stamping peeking through

& when I did the reduction technique,

the blue from my mix had stained the gesso

underneath a very pale blue. Liked that.

I like my focal point but if I did it again I would choose

a better stencil for the silhouette

& keep it white. The clocks

had already been stamped with the

French imagery from CI, so i just coloured them.

Once I outlined everything it popped.

Still got a visual triangle & strong focal point!
