Palette Hunting
Thank you so much for sharing! I loved how dynamic this class was. It felt like a color snack and very rich and concise.
I loved spinning the wheel and see all the possibilities. I tried my best to explore with the yellows and oranges, but honestly I prefer the blues and the purples, so I decided to stick to what I like to really enjoy it.
When I was spinning the wheel and finding the tones and tints I was amazed with the ammount of colors I could have from just one hue and it was very hard to pick 'cause the all looked great, but I am training my eye to keep my paletted balanced and cohesive, so I had to work as well in my decission making process which is something I struggle a lot with... ( another topic for my personal journal yay!)
While I was doing the color study I decided to select my faves and I realized how only one was made by a woman and how little I know about women artists around the world which was sad, but also a great opportunity to discover new art, new colors, new compositions and messages. So that will be my "homework"
Now on the actualprocess of selecting the colors I'm really proud to say that I mixed the colors myself. I only needed help for the tints cause I connot actually add white in my computer. But in the process I realized that I wanted to have it all organized and then a little voice in my heart said "did you know that nobody's stopping you from moving the cicrcle next to the picture to see it matches a little better?" and then I thought there's "messy" in creation, in learning. And then when I was finding the colors, at first I didn't want to move so much the controls and the I remember "What if..?" as my powerful curiousity activator "What if I put more magenta? more yellow? more cyan? more black? that really helped me to really observe and actually explore.
I was very happy to take this class!!!! I was watching a show and at some point I found myself analyzing the colors in the charachter's clothes and how they interacted with each other! I was actually huntig for colors!!
Thank you so muuuuch! <3
