Thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts. For the whole month of July the colour challenge is yellow.
….a great way to get back into my painting groove
Last week I discovered a new painting challenge that involved using prompts and painting on 2″x2″ pieces of watercolour paper. Amy from amy@mindfulartstudio.com is hosting the Inchie Challenge for 12 days. It started on August 16 and goes to the 27th but you can start in anytime. There’s no charge for this challenge and it’s a great way to re-energize your creative juices.
On the weekend I packed up my travelling watercolour set, a brush and a few micron pens and 30 little squares that I had pre-cut. I wasn’t sure I could paint this small but once I started I was hooked. I managed to make 19 little paintings using the prompts, bundle, egg, mend and yellow. Here’s what I came up with.

I love autumn colours and I had every intention of posting all the yellows of Autumn in a future post but when this challenge came up I decided that today was as good a day as any. Some of these photos were taken in the neighbourhood parks and others were from my walk through High Park yesterday.

Yellow is the colour of friendship but a baby’s room painted yellow makes them cry. I love the psychology of colour.
….day 90
A few days ago Carla Sonheim posted a prompt. It was a quote from the artist Pierre Bonnard. I have to admit that I had never heard of him before but he managed to make a living from his art in the early 1900s right up to the 1940s while living in France.
The quote was “One cannot have too much yellow”.
I decided to take a page of one-liner drawings and add some colour with paint and collage. I painted the background with yellow watercolours and then I cut up paper to add texture and visual interest to the flowers. After that I took markers and conte pencils and added more lines and squiggly detail.
…..today’s prompt needs to start or end with the letter Y or start with the word Why?

…..amidst all the red, green, silver and gold of the season the challenge was to photograph something yellow Daily Post Photo Challenge
In setting up a still life composition for a recent art assignment I noticed that all the pieces of fruit had undertones of yellow. The lemon in the middle comes forward because of the bright yellow.
