I'm participating in Summer of Color for the first time - it's a huge challenge, run by Kristin Van Valkenburgh at Twinkle Twinkle. Every week there's a very loosely defined color palette.
For this week's challenge I used Pthalo blue red shade, Utrecht paint Aquamarine (a lightened Pt. Blue-green it seems) and to complicate things a bit Hooker's Green hue. A little gesso, a little white, and inktense pencils, in Chrome green and indigo. (which I think match in with the hooker's green and the blue pretty well.) Also I think green gelly roll pen which near-matched the aquamarine for some reason..
I did a journal spread in a smaller Moleskine that I've been keeping. I think my secondary challenge with these palettes is to loosen up and doodle into my work more - I want to get a bit more raw here. I like the way this one worked out.
don't forget, you still have a couple of days to sign up for my fun summer class at Uthrive!
