A long weekend means extra play time. My best friend and I went to Star Wars: the Mandalorian and Grogu, and loved it! Alan and I went to a 70s themed 50th birthday party. I made scones, pikelets, and sultana biscuits so there are snacks for Alan while he’s out at the farm. I did all the usual housework … and still had plenty of art time.
I’ve been trying to nail down a triad colour scheme for a series of work I’m creeping up on slowly. I think I’ve settled on Hansa yellow, Southern Ocean blue and Medium magenta. The struggle has been that I love Deep Violet with a little yellow for a warm rust red, but the Deep Violet doesn’t give me the other mixes I want.
Today I realised I can use my preferred triad for the mix of clear brights and muted tones I want, and add Deep Violet when I need it. The colour scheme is a guide, not a prison cell.
