Day 18. Experimenting with Color

Hello Friends! How are you? I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and that you week is off to a good start.

Guess what? I finished that painting I started yesterday. Going out of my comfort zone was my goal and I certainly achieved that. I hope you will check out my Inspire Me Monday post on the Power Poppy blog with my story, a family review and the recipe.

Marcy’s illustrations from Power Poppy are so beautiful and this Amaryllis Bliss stamp set is exquisite.

Thanks your visit is always appreciated! See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    I love the turquoise flowers where you can see a little brown from the first layer .
    If I was colouring this, then I would have stopped after I used the turquoise and finished it with darken the nooks and crannies with perhaps a very dark brown instead of black.
    Leaving the background grey.
    But I think it’s great that you stepped out of your comfort zone.
    Thank you for showing and see you tomorrow.

      Thank you for your input, Henriette! It is always nice to get another crafter’s opinion. “See” you tomorrow, friend 🙂

    Comfort zones are traps one can get stuck in without even knowing it . I may be stuck right now . You did an amazing job Kathy !

      Tracy, you are so kind! I tend to want to fall back into what I know works, but I don’t want all of my art to look same-old, same-old, you know? It is nice to stretch myself and see what I *might* be capable of 🙂

    It is hard for me to paint or do ANYTHING other than entertain when ANYONE comes to visit! LOL Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe, you were trying to please your sister? I go to my hubby too, he has an eye for things, so I get better advise from him than others. BUT, I STILL do things MY WAY! 😉 I like the second layer of color the best. If you wanted to add more contrast, maybe just a TAD of darker colors in those nooks & crannies only! 😉 I DO like the grey background! 😉 I LOVE seeing the progression of your work, Kathy! INKY HUGS!!! Your soup looks YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!
