Today is our color and collage paper challenge #5. This was a difficult one for me. I didn’t like the color palette, purple is not my color. I also didn’t find inspiration with the inspiration picture.
All the schedules and color palette choice are in the Subscriber library and all the videos for free. Including the link to the book that I’m using for inspiration and ideas.
But I did it anyway… because working outside your comfort zone always teaches you something. I always enjoy the color mixing even if I’m not mixing my favorite colors.
I also had no collage papers in this color palette so this definitely was a challenge. I was able to use up some collage paper and paint over it with the colors.
The inspiration word was “transformation” The definition of transformation is – Dramatic change in form or appearance and metamorphosis during a life cycle. – I think we all go through some transformations (multiple) in our lives.. so I used transformation as my inspiration to create the page.
I hope you enjoy the process and always know that you are loved!
