Today my friend Cilenia's class started at Renee Pearson's site! I'm so excited for her! The class is called
Building Color Confidence and week 1's lessons are great!
I watched all 4 lessons for the week today. Lesson for has us making color swatch cards using our own inspiration. I started to do a card or two to post in the gallery there, but once I started I couldn't stop! I kept finding more photos in my collection that I wanted to play with! I ended up with 7 color schemes.
This one is my favorite color scheme. I took this picture when I still lived in Alaska. I LOVE those blues and greens. :)
During the lesson I started thinking about how much I love bright, happy colors, but how my house has white walls (it's a rental), beige carpet, and wood furniture, either mid tone or dark woods. That's it. No color except in the laundry room with the red washer & dryer, and in the master bath with the red, brown, and beige shower curtain. Some of these color schemes would be awesome abstract paintings or pillows (or both!!) in my house!!
So I found this picture from the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas from this past Christmas. I got a great Christmas color scheme out of it.
And I also got a very pretty blue color scheme from the same photo. Whoever chose the wall paint at the Bellagio did well!! ;)
I think there is still time to join in on the fun!
Come join us!

You did a wonderful job with color schemes. Wouldn't you love to decorate a room in one of the schemes using the photo as your focus point.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the class too Nicky. I think my favorite tip from this week was about moving the color picker on 45 degree angle to keep within the same hue, when working with color schemes.
ReplyDeleteYour color schemes turned out great! I still need to do mine.
Same here, Kathleen! I usually just go straight up or down, or sideways to pick another color. I had no idea about the 45 degree thing!
