Working with Colors




One of the basic problems in trying to create a picture is a color scheme to pull it together. Not many people realize this, and it comes as no surprise that color practice or using a limited color scheme may be a good exercise for anyone looking into illustration.

As of December of last year, I have been trying to do that on my own, with using color schemes monthly palettes as well as their wonderfully helpful color memes to force me into creating design around a limited palette.

Using a very limited palette of colors, such as a number of five can force you to think out the design and the character/landscape/illustration overall.

This is my Art Blog

I'm restarting this blog now, with some new starts. I might make some companion blogs, but this blog will primarily about art, art history, and various other artsy things. My love of art, and art history as well as the best art supplies and how to better your artwork. And where to get great deals on art supplies and great art books to go through.

I will also be doing updates on my writing project and various other projects. If anyone has some advice, that would be very helpful.

Thanks and I hope this is the beginning of a new year for me and this blog.
