Thinking about colour again a lot today; the new one I have just finished (left) is fine, but I am still of the opinion that my colours are a bit 'clunky'. I am looking to do subtle a bit more on the next one. To this end, I have been compiling a wee scrapbook of images that I find compelling colour-wise, just to inspire and nod me in the right direction when all else fails and I reach for the red oxide again... I do love red oxide, but it has become formulaic in my pictures. Having looked at my choices, I realise that I am actually in love with yellow, but never, ever use it. Weirdo.The pic I have started now is hopefully going to draw in all kinds of muted shades with a lot of greys, ochres, neutrals... and a couple of pieces of really good strong colour. Will this be a yellow? Oh, and I spent a long time today writing the first meaningful chunk of our business plan; the master plan that will set us on the road to employment freedom and a life of creativity and bloody hard work for ourselves, instead of someone else. If I drank, I would drink to that.
