The First Few Pages

Using the color scheme from Color Combos Gallore Challenge #110,

…I created a 4 pages.  I also decided to expand a little and painted a few more pages. Each took about 15 – 20 minutes. I started off with a base color and then slowly incorporated other colors. Different patterns. And I also didn’t use all 4 colors. 

The colors I used weren’t exactly like the colors in the challenge. I changed it up where my yellow was light gold. Which made the yellow not so harsh. I also had create the madarine orange colors. And I don’t think they looked too close. But it was as close as I could get.

 

This is the same color with a little variation in the painting.

This only has two colors.  Less the yellow.

This is just a mix of colors I wanted to try

 

Then in the middle of the week I started picking out images that I wanted to incorporate in the pages. And tonight I added only a few images to the pages. Here’s how they turned out.

The images from this journal page is from the Crow About Group. Not sure what or how I’ll be filling the pages. But right now I see it as a nice base. I like the colors in this.

I’m not very big on the color yellow. In fact I don’t like it much at all. So, I felt this was something inhibiting. I decided to use the color more. The above color challenge made feel like trying to use a bolder color.  The emphemera is from different items I had laying around. The little red sugar packet is from the 24/7 Restaurant at The Standard in Los Angeles. It’s suppose to be a well known hotel with a swimming pool on the roof. I use to make it a point to have lunch down there. They have this great Thai Beef Salad.  I might actually write about that on this page.

Did you have an opportunity to paint a few pages? What did you?
