I have very recently become OBSESSED with the color combo of Yellow and Turquoise, and being in the middle of the Carribbean made it worse. When I came home, I began to notice all of the places in our home lacking artwork. I love photography, and I have lots of pictures around, but I am ready for COLOR!! we have the sad misfortune of having HORRIBLE natural light in our home! It always seems dark, and on top of that, I painted most of the walls in Earthy tones way back when I was into..well..Earthy tones. Now I am into Bright…so its going to be a slow process of switching over. Im starting small by adding small pops here and there. On a whim, I decided to whip out my watercolors, and add some yellow and turquiose to our bathroom! It literally took me 20 minutes, and I kind of DIG it!!! My next step is to dive into acrylic paints. I am not familiar with them, but love the texture and saturation you can create with them. But for now, I am enjoying my little bathroom watercolor! its a cheap, fast way to add a little color!
Below are some of my inspiration pictures, from my “Color Me” board on Pinterest.
Here are a few of the other color combos I am working on, (really loving the turquoise coral and blue) but this time I am going to try acrylic! I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress!
so cheerful and clean, I love it!
When you play with acrylic’s my mother-in-law (a skilled acrylic painter) said that Gesso can help create the texture and that painting without a paintbrush creates even more unique textures (think kitchen spounges,t-shirts, leafs, etc.) Her stuff always looks so awesome. I envy your respective talents and creativity!
Thank you Rebecca 🙂 Its always fun to bust out the paints!!
I love the way watercolor looks! The variation of colors. Simple and beautiful!
Jenna!! Thank you for the ideas!! I would have never known “Gesso”!! now I will have a place to start 😉
Dear Emmeline, Thank you 🙂
Yes! I am also obsessing over these two colors. Doesn’t surprise me that we are on the same page though. Wanted to incorporate it to my living room. Love the watercolor painting. You have my noodles bubbling Kim.
