Day 16 of Creative Everyday Month

I lost the piece of paper I had on my desk to remind me of what drawing challenge I had for the day, so I'm going to chuck that idea out the window and just create stuff that I want to. I haven't painted for ages cause I had packed my studio up, as we where expecting a visitor to come and stay for 6 weeks. But last night I found out that it wasn't happening, so I can set my studio back up which I'm looking forward to doing! It was a good break and I got super organised, I'm not going to have any clutter in there.

Cause the past 24 hours have been pretty crazy I'm going to relax and read my new book Native Wit by Hamish Keith about his life, he is very funny! Today I updated my website page on recommended New Zealand Art Books CLICK HERE to check it out. You can purchase the books by clicking the link to go to fishpond website.

Funny this card comes up cause my friend came around today and we talked about lots of different business opportunities.

My clip of the day was sent to me by a friend today. It reminded me of the time I had in my big messy studio ...

Looking forward to painting tomorrow!

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

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,...
