The Color of the Day Is...Cream!

As my Grandpappy always used to say...I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream...yeah, I know...tis corny. I think everyone's grand parents came up with something like that to make us giggle as kids, or at least, I hope your's did. So, with such great things as Cream, Eric Clapton style, and Cream, Prince style (back when he still had a name...sort of), let's go find some great stuff!

If you go to zephi's shop, you'll find this great monotype print:

Now...be sure to keep checking back with my blog. I've started a new drawing, and am going to be using this 'work in progress' to show some techniques and how to's. It should be entertaining for all, since I've never drawn a Faerie before. On top of this, I'll be opening a contest soon, the winner of which, will be the new owner of this drawing...boy, it had better turn out good! :)

The Color of the Day is....Fuschia!

Ever heard the saying 'A rose by any other name is still a rose?' Well...pink by any other name is not Fuschia! There is just something exciting and at the same time, mind blowing, about this vibrant twist on the everyday pink. It's one of my personal favorites...you've no idea how many different styles of sweaters come in this color :)

Here is some totally awesome yarn coming from ThePaintedTiger's shop:

Now, as I said in my last post, my art lessons are on a kind of hiatus at the moment. I'm working on these little buggers.


Each one takes roughly 6 hours to make, if I stop for a drink of water now and then. If you are interested in friendship bracelets, check out my Etsy shop. I've got custom order bracelets there. http://AreYouAnArtist.etsy.com

Welcome to The Art of Color!

Wow...How exciting! My very first Blog!

Now what?....Well, I decided to start this blog to promote a great site called Etsy. It really is a place to buy and sell all things hand made. There are currently over 100,000 shops there with wonderful items made by very talented artisans and crafters!

I'm going to make this a multi-tasking blog. 1st - I will promote certain Etsy shops based on the primary color of an item in their listings. 2nd - I will have basic lessons on the techniques I use in my drawings and paintings. Hopefully, I can get in here daily, but I can't promise it. So, while you are waiting for my first installment, check out the items I have in my own Etsy shop at http://AreYouAnArtist.etsy.com I know you'll like them!
