Colors Challenge...

This is what I made from my colors challenge with Leslie -- we picked 5 colors from Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party painting and made art journal pages with them. These were the colors:

challenge colors

And this is what I made with them in my 9" x 12" art journal:

challenge colors page

It started out as a gelli printed background, then I painted over the edges and made the face, made the flowers with Posca Pens and collages on a printed quote. Rubber stamps are along the outer rim. The challenge was keeping to just those 5 colors (and white/black)... and it turned out to be a lot of fun working on it today!

Leslie posted her entry on her blog so you can see how different they were!

    Interesting... the only thing in common is the color selection. You went orange, I went blue. I like it but your girl looks so sad.

      Well it is just because I can't draw people worth $hit...something on my list of things to work on this summer! I tried to draw her along with the shapes in the page and she turned out pretty deformed looking! LOL NOT intentionaly!
