Art Every Day Month Day 21 - Art Movies

Last night was the first time that I sat in my new studio and I loved it. I still have to have a big sort out and get the storage sorted but that can wait for another day....I'm just going to sit and think today!


I think my daughter is very much like me and taken over the house with art stuff...

My Youtube clip of the day is French and Saunders - Art Critic


My card for the day was Retreat (perfect card for the day)


it said..Spend time alone in quite thought. Clear your mind, and focus on your truth and priories. Are you pushing yourself to hard? The angels remind us that rest is a natural cycle in everything. Think of the mighty oak tree that grows in spurts and then rests. It draws nourishment from deep within the earth and takes time before growing upward again. It is important for you to nourish yourself with spiritual and emotional food. While you are resting, take time to reflect on your true hearts desires. Desire to make a difference in the world.

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
