Today I took a break from roses and painted something for the shop. By shop, I mean the kind of work where you set up your supplies. It’s like being in a classroom and telling students they get to paint. You see the biggest smiles. Rarely do you hear, “What should I do?” Come to think of it, children always ask for more paper. Today, I was that kid! I don’t think I even thought about color schemes. This is the flow I need, the flow that always leads to good. The good will come tomorrow. This pink bouquet was good!
Let’s see, how did I do?
Looking at the color wheel, I see that pink is my hero. I mixed pink with green. I should have added a little pink to my ultramarine. I want more contrast between the background and the petals. I can outline the petals. Maybe do a second layer of blue? A splash of blue?
Thank you for reading! Every day there’s more of you. I’m working out what my regular posting days and time will be. I’ll outline my agenda tomorrow.
Siempre,
Mireya
