oh my my, Last week of SOC! Week 6

~

I am amazed at how 6 weeks of summer have flown by!

Kristen's

Summer of Color is a bit of a count down

she has chosen colors for us to use each week in our art

some colors that thrill us

and

colors that we might not have chosen ourselves

it has been a wonderful time of getting to know my relationship with color

those I tend towards

some I do not

I have come to like some colors together that I have 
steered clear of in the past

this weeks colors:

Raspberry & Tangerine

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

Thank you Kristin for being our lovely and generous host!

a glimpse

~

first i painted the page a light sage green

let it dry

drew a border in sepia ink, with a dip pen

drew the picture with masking fluid

let it dry

painted over the mask with a light wash of the sepia ink

then peeled the mask away

~

the two little hummingbirds are growing up

eyes still closed

and look the photo is in sage and sepia colors:
