Part Two: Project Three – Stage Four. Exercise 1.

 Not only intuitively but also emotionally. Still using water colours which tend to lighten up as a reaction to how the eye perceives them. Possibly also something to do with the state of the mind and the weather outside the workroom window. Thumbing through the photo album and resource file activated not only the memory of where the photo was taken but also the ambience of the surroundings. Some effects are just as satisfying when the colour is pure rather than being altered by the inclusion or immersion of secondary, tertiary or complimentary colours.

Playing around and mixing colours was an emotional experience in itself without even having to name the emotion but I gave it a try – the results had to be seen to be believed. Naming the mixing of the colours to an emotional feeling became easier once I relaxed into the exercise.
