We had a bunch of items sent in and I found this one most deserving! Mary-Beth from Windsor, Ontario sent this piece in of her Altered Spoon. Way to go Mary-Beth.
This month our “Call For Art” is:
Tangerine and Auburn – Send us your ART using these colors to be featured in our next issue! Show us your idea of these colors and what YOU can do with them! The deadline ends soon send in your Color Art to pidinfo@paperimagerydesigns.com
Color combining can be a challenge, or using a color wheel. What is a color wheel for anyway?
It is hard to give an exact answer to this question, but in general one can say that the risk of using too many colors is greater than the risk of using too few.
