a Question, a Challenge & a Gift,

I posted this image on Instagram recently, with the question: what color do you think this painting is? (clue: it isn’t actually grey!)

At the time I write this to you, no one has guessed. So the challenge remains open: what color do you think it is?

Comment below, or email me your answer, the first person who guesses the color wins a half price place in my upcoming color adventure: TWELVTY 2018.  Just £48 instead of the usual £97. Lawks!!

Which leads me to the next part of this post, speaking of color adventures:

a Gift for you: “TWELVTY XTRA”

While I was busy in researching color for the TWELVTY program, there was one aspect I came back to with each color, with increasing fascination, the way that colors behave (and misbehave) in each other’s company.  

It really lit up my imagination.

So much so, I wanted to share some of the magic I uncovered with you. So I’ve created a mini ecourse all about color combining.

What happens:

  • Every day for one week I’ll send a chapter in the story of color combining.
  • The story is illustrated with paintings created using only 2 or 3 colors.
  • I’m looking at combinations you might not have explored before, to open up new ideas.
  • We’ll investigate the mood and memories attached to the colors.
  • I’ll show you exclusive video demonstrations of the process I use to make them.
  • I’ll share some insights I picked up along the way in my adventure around the color wheel.
  • All this is for FREE – for YOU!

Whatever your creative field – be it painting, art journaling, photography – home decoration or cake decoration – digital, textile, film or fashion – there’s something here for you!

Sign up here and I’ll email you as soon as it’s available later in the month:

introducing my inner adult…

All through this month I’ve been prompted and nudged along by Inktober, seeing daily reminders to keep inkdrawing from the good folks of the youtubes & the instagrams. They kept me company as developed this stream of consciousness doodle running through my sketchbook-project-sketchbook, leading from one page to the next…

Y’know about the Sketchbook Project, right? (If not, and you’re intrigued, I wrote a little about it here.)

They kept me company as developed this stream of consciousness doodle running through my sketchbook-project-sketchbook, leading from one page to the next, a little like this (also like this)

(the shadows and hiccups in continuity show the folds in the book or the turn of the page… this is just 3 pages, it would be too wide to show it all like this, you get the idea tho’)

And now it’s ready to begin coloring. Which I plan to do throughout November.

I’ll give you a moment if you fell off your chair at the news I’ve not added any color yet …………… ok? ………….before I tell you that the coloring won’t begin straight away either.

For three reasons:

  1. This sketchbook is the foundation to a new project I’m developing for launch in 2018. “TWELVTY EXTRA” – a companion course to “TWELVTY – a year full of color” (which you can read all about here).  I’ve got a clear idea of exactly how I’m gonna color my doodle, which colors, even which paints…
  2. As I was nearing the end of my last massive’normous art escapade I planned to reward myself with a little treat in the form of a set of Daniel Smith’s Watercolors. (These aren’t any old watercolors, these are proper fancypants watercolors. The purchase of which was preceded by a full on 2 week dither while they languished in my online shopping cart.) And now the delivery has been delayed!
    But I’m saving this book for these colors!
  3. (this is the biggie) I’m cultivating a bit of self control. Instead of running full pelt at my life and my art with wild abandon and all colors flying aimlessly, I’m experimenting with something new (to me). “Planning.“ …….Interesting, huh?

 

Now I’ve eked out all the enjoyment, focus and concentration I can from the black and white and inking stage, and I’d like to report back: I kinda like this new strategy. It’s still got an edge of impetuous childlike impatience as a driving force, but my inner adult is developing her voice, taking moments of authority, even making some of the decisions.

How will this play out? check back over the next month and I’ll show you how it’s going.  Or hop aboard my email list for updates direct to your emailbox every month.

I’ll send you a copy of my (newly updated) eBook ‘a year full of color’ as well as exclusive discounts for my ecourses. 

Your email is utterly safe with me. I’ll sing it to sleep and bring it tea when it wakes up.
