summer of color: purple


I played with my watercolors and inspiration came from my garden - of course, all tied together by the color purple.  This is a mixed media sketch tablet, but I was working on the wrong side of the paper, so there was no tooth for my watercolors ...lesson learned.  I like the idea so may explore it further later in the week.  The grid helped organize and contain my drawings - creating a collage in this style could be fun too.

You can visit Twinkle Twinkle for LOTS more great artwork pieces (in lots of different mediums) in purple.

I realized I also have a couple of photos I've taken recently that have beautiful purples in them!


Mother Nature provides gorgeous examples of purple every day!!!

  8. I like your collage, it works really well as a design element. And there is no such thing as the 'wrong side' of paper, just new ways of playing with paint :-) Julie
