“Stroll amongst the roses”
I so love combining these color challenges with creating surface design co-ordinates. Such a great way to stretch myself and build some work for my portfolio.
This month I took an element from the “I am beautiful” painting (artwork from 2009) which had little mini roses in the tree.
“I am Beautiful” Acrylic & collage.
I then played in photoshop to see what I could come up with. Below are two of my co-ordinate sets based on this months challenge and color palette below:
Co-ordinates #1: Rose garden {part of the Summer Dayz collection}
Co-ordinates #2: Rose garden {part of the Summer Dayz collection}
How did you feel creating with a color and a theme this month?

Hi Louise,
Came across your Colour Challenge after connecting with Wini (artloveandjoy) and Liza on Bloom True Melbourne 2012. Love the concept and as have never painted to colour on demand before… it really is a challenge. Found the theme extremely difficult, but have enjoyed every minute, and even used a colour palette I would probably not have chosen otherwise. Love the surface design collections you came up with!!
Can’t wait to see how you challenge us next month 🙂
