1. Colour My World

Since the fall, my world has been made up primarily of red, yellow and blues. Not always in that order or equal portions. A Colour Foundations course that I took had my creative mind spinning around the colour wheel. Round and round it went with each assignment…the first being to use all the colours in the colour wheel (12 in total) to create a composition without any tints or tones.
No tints? No tones? Really? This was completely unnatural to me, since I revel in gradation. The solution was to separate the colours into shapes that made sense – like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle.
This was the result:
And a perfect score from my instructor!
