Don't be put off by thinking it might be for graphic designers only. Or, consider yourself a graphic designer even if you don't do it for a living!
I fell in love with color all over again, moving through this book by Adams Morioka and Terry Stone.
Let's all celebrate color!
Above: My background paper started life as a page from an old picture calendar. With my new 6" x 6" mask Diatom s972 I made multiple prints using heavy body light blue acrylic paint. The bright colors of the original print come peeking through the opacity of that paint.
Above: I used both my 6" x 6" masks -- Chandelier s971 and Diatom s972 -- to achieve this "busy" print with fluorescent acrylic paints. Fluorescent acrylics are color fugitive, so I seldom use them, despite loving their bright hues.
Above: My background paper started life as a magazine cover showing micro-lifeforms. Since my new 6" x 6" mask Diatom s972 is itself based on a micro-lifeform, there was no question I would put the two together! However, I purposely did a color alteration in Photoshop after making a print with Diatom s972, atop the existing illustration, because altho the original color scheme was beautiful, it wasn't mine.
Above: With my new 6" x 6" mask Diatom s972, I explored using complementary and near-complementary colors, since colorwheel opposites and near-opposites make the brilliant best of both color families.
Above: Okay, I went overboard with color! But I had fun! Printed with heavy body acrylic paints and my 6" x 6" mask Chandelier s971.
