inspiration #2

Besides being inspired by nature and people like I usually am, I am also inspired color. The way color is in a piece can set the mood for the whole thing. Also you can show so much depth at variety. The way people   use color can be so unique and there are so many ways to apply it. I also love color in nature. Everything goes together no matter where you are at. I feel like the light and patterns like in the sky can't really be matched in a painting. Everything is just blended together and so different everyday. I play around with a lot of tones but I usually don't use a lot of color or do really realistic things with color. I feel like I need to practice more with color because I like mono tone or black and white stuff but I like color too. I just feel like I'll never be able to use it in a realistic way.

  1. I totally agree with you! I usually use black and white, but this week I have been inspire by the day of the dead because they use so much color and I very interesting way. i think I need to step out of my comfort zone and start experimenting with color.

  2. I love colors, I agree that they are so inspirational in how they affect images you see and how they are applied. I think I need to work with different color pallets and what not, but then again black and white are colors too and sometimes they better fit an image than other colors would.
