One of the many lovely things Patty bought me was this stunning book called True Colors, A Palette of Collaborative Art Journals. Wow, what an amazing feast for the eyes!! The artists chose their own colours and the journals were circulated and worked on by all of the 14 participants. Feeling totally inspired, I've decided to make my own mini art journal, following the colours as they appear in the index, not all of them are combinations I would choose myself but what a great challenge!
White was up first
lots of texture on this one
Red 1, 2 and 3
woooo, hold on to your hat!!! Hot Pink and Orange came next, now you've probably figured this out yourself but this isn't a combo you'll see a lot of in my work, I felt quite jumpy by the end of it!!
a little tribute to Teesha Moore, the originator of this journal colour combo!
Sunset is next...

I've had this book for a very long time and I often go back to it for inspiration. There aren't a whole lot of techniques discussed or even explained, but the artwork was wonderful. I'm so glad you got a copy of this book. Patty did good!
BTW, you should do more pink and orange. These are wonderful colors to add to your arsenal.
Hot pink and orange... what a challenge that would be!
I'm going to have to check that book out.
