Day 7 is a Sneak Peek Crop. I decided instead to show you a collection of color swatches. I love color. I love that we have available to us every color imaginable. I love that from the colors available, we can mix new colors. Over the past two years, I have been trying to break out of my color comfort zone and make work with new (to me) color combinations. This has led to some really beautiful and really meh artwork.
I really wanted the Hooker's Green to work here. From the color swatch above, I thought it might. But it's just too cool to play with the Quidnacrone Rose Permanent. Some things you don't find out until you're in the thick of it (thank goodness for sketchbooks). This sun-and-moon piece is also my Peptober day 11: a Lowlight. At this point, I can't figure out where/when I will use Hooker's Green. I prefer Sap Green for my yellow-greens and Viridian for my blue-greens and I usually mix everything in between. If you are a Hooker's Green fan: give me the details on how this green works for you because I am stumped.
You may notice that I'm not doing ALL of Peptober. That's on purpose. I had a busy weekend, and decided to skip a few days of the Peptober challenge. That's one of the bonuses of being an adult: you can choose to not do things. It's a choice I make frequently, because I value my downtime. I need unscheduled time in which to relax and play.
That's all for today, friends.
