Making without Explaining 18: Painting With the Color I Avoid Most
Purple and I don't really get along. It's the color I reach for last, if I reach for it at all. So this time I picked it on purpose and paired it with yellow, its opposite on the wheel. Liquid watercolor, mixed media, no plan. Just seeing where two colors that shouldn't work together take me. No voice-over here, no teaching. Just real studio time, camera rolling.
