Fun with colour swatches

I loved this idea of creating colour swatches by imagining I am a small child again and just going crazy on the paper!

Here is my first page. My paper wasn't super large, unfortunately, as I am away from home at the moment and only had my sketchbook but I think I got the hang of it. I used Cherry Blossom pink, yellow Ochre, black and white:

My cards for the page minus the purple. I like the bottom two rows best:

I didn't do any blocks of colour as my page was too small, but I will definitely be trying this again with different colours on a larger pieces of paper. It was lots of fun. Here is my card storage so that I don't forget what colours I used:

Thank you for the class!
