Watercolor Chart

I used 3 tubes of paint

one yellow

one red

one blue

all Daniel Smith

I taped down cheap washi tape from the dollar store

(use good tape! It kept peeling off)

the squares are about 3/4" with thin tape between

I labeled my colors along the top 

and

one side

next began mixing colors

then the color mixing began

painting in the squares

Above is the finished piece before I peeled the tape off.

It might have taken a couple of hours.

I find the amount of colors

144 amazingly beautiful 

and 

thrilling to consider they came from three

primary colors!

Now I have a chart to choose colors from

as well

an idea as to how to make them again>

Thank you The Watercolour Academy for showing me how to go 

about this!

(Emma offers these lessons free!)

Beaded Bracelet, Spring Colors

Years ago I began beading this bracelet. 

To this day the colors thrill me. 

Have you ever thought about colors, 

how they move you, 

how they inspire you, 

how they sooth

or excite you?

I consider jewelry

colors

textures

of clothing

to be medicinal.

They support and inspire,

heal and nurture. 

Not just an adornment for the sake of decoration.

I am so happy that tonight I finished this piece

and can wear it!

I love the little dolphin clasps too~

Many of my artful friends took a peak at Anne's blog:

Unconventional Beauties

that I shared in my last post.

I decided to support her blog and explore the experience of doing a self portrait.

Who knows what gifts will be revealed in the process.
