🕑 Added 2025-05-20 23:09:32 +0000 UTClately, I've been trying to push my understanding of colors by expanding my idea of what "makes sense". it's a desire to move beyond "sky is blue, grass is green" way of conceptualizing color. I've been doing this in two ways: choosing and layering colors I wouldn't normally and working with limited palettes. I'm particularly inspired by art both influenced by and from the Impressionist period. some examples:
I really love how they use color to depict feelings and emotions rather than visual reality. there are so many beautiful color shifts and colors used in unexpected ways that make a piece come alive, like they possess an energetic spirit. it's something I find hard to even translate into words, because the reaction it elicits feels so evocatively primal and subterranean. it makes me feel a lot! it looks beautiful! I feel compelled to recreate it! 🫶✨

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experimentation with color. Color is powerful. You’ve also exposed me to a new artist in Holly Warburton 😊

love this experimentation and your thoughts are, as always, splendid! your use of colour is a highlight of your work already so i think you definitely innately understand the way colour evokes emotion, but it is cool to see you using limited colour palettes to convey specific feelings and ideas. vicki unlocking new modes fr
