SWATCHES // color combinations for paintings

January 22, 2014

I've begun the process of creating a set of paintings for a family friend. It's my first commission* and I'm definitely putting a lot of extra effort in to make sure it goes well. 

Besides creating about a million sketches, I painted some color swatches for possible color combinations...and ended up kind of liking how they looked all together. Funny how sometimes the most random things in the studio turn out!

* Ok, besides that time my mom wanted some Iowa-themed paintings when my parents first moved to the state...not super glamorous. :) I obviously chose corn as my subject matter.

  5. Thanks so much Kelly! You're too sweet! What a cool idea to use these color combos in a website. I tend to "think" in paint, so definitely let me know if you end up using some of these color combinations -- I'd love to see how they turn out! :)
