Slowing down and observing detail, I find color inspiration everywhere! In the light that glows through the petal of a rose, in the multitude of greens in a cluster of leaves, in old rust and peeling paint. All it takes is looking closely, breathing in the moment–being mindful. Of course, my camera goes everywhere with me so I can capture these little moments, these delicious bits of inspiration, and store them up for later. When my muse hits, I reach into my library of inspiration to create dynamic color palettes that I can incorporate into my art.
Learn how to add gorgeous nuances of color to make your color palettes pop in my upcoming class: Create Color Magic:
Take a peek at how I take photos of everyday scenes and turn them into color palettes that can be used in any project from fiber art to floral arranging to canvas or room decor. In each one, I look beyond the most dominant colors and observe the subtle nuances that can turn an ordinary color palette into an extraordinary one bursting with depth and movement. My hope is that you will use these color palettes to inspire your next project!
