Nuno Felt - Color inspiration in the tiniest details
Noticing color
How often do you slow down and notice the tiny spots of beauty all around you? And how many times is 'beauty' in the eye of the beholder?
Our old wooden fence is rough and cracked. Perhaps in need of care and yes, most would have it sanded down, stained, 'beautified'.
But when you bend down and look closely, you'll notice a carpet of lichen in a gorgeous array of subtle, warm, earthy tones – each tiny piece a different color and texture. If you stand still, you'll be joined by songbirds picking up pieces of lichen for their nests.
Using my Eye For Color wheel with the Dark Warm Earthtone color wheel, I tried on various Color Harmony templates and found that this Tetrad captures the colors I’d like to work with from the Lichen inspiration.
How luscious is that?!
And of course, how could I resist creating a color a palette for one of my Nuno Felt designs?
