Thursday 25th October

Today I had a visit from a lovely lady that I had meet threw the NZ art guild website.

We went on a mission around the town to find some inspiration and get some photos. We headed down back streets and alleys looking for the perfect shot. The first place we found was amazing the sparrows were nesting and they weren't fussed with us being there. The light in the sky wasn't the best so we called into the glass studio and watched Brendon make a piece of glass. Headed down to the river, called into Bill's gallery to check out what was hanging on the walls, had lunch at Jolt and got to know each other walking all over town. We weren't sure what to do next so we came home and she checked out http://www.wanganui.org/ and picked our next location. It was the Winter Gardens, I was happy because my little sister had a statue in there that I hadn't seen yet so we headed up there and checked it out.
It was cool we went and got some bread from the cafe and feed the ducks and swans. Went to the birds Avery and found some spotty feathers, yummy! I have to take a photo so you can see what it looks like because it's beautiful!

We must have got back around 3:30pm so she hit the road back to home. I hope to have some of her work on the Paint Pit website soon. http://www.paintpit.com/

Yesterday I had another good go at the gallery and even got some of the cleaning done which means spaces are getting cleared out. Who would think I could put so much stuff down there.

We started changing our room around last night to try and get the traffic noise down and it's going to look fab, I'm excited! I love changing the house around.

My message for the day is: We can heal away low self-esteem and any personality characteristic that gives you pain.

Crikey it's after 5 now, were does that time go? I better get in that kitchen like a good girl and cook my man some food, ha ha.

Oh I must say that I had a fantastic email from vista print today and I'm really impressed with the way they work. If you haven't been to their site check it out http://www.vistaprint.co.nz/

Have a good one

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,...
