LAVENDER JOURNEY
Watercolor - 11x14
Purple is fun color to paint with. You can go from very pale to very dark without losing the look and feel of the color. Because purple is made up of red and blue you can add touches of pinks and blues to the flowers for color interest.
Purple lies somewhere between the serenity of blue and the passion of red. It both calms and stimulates. The color of fantasy and magic. Purple fosters creativity by awakening our senses while also promoting quiet. It creates a harmonious balance between awareness and peace.
Purple is the color of kings. Because purple dye was expensive and rare it has long been associated with royalty. It is an elaborate color with the trappings of majesty and ceremony. A color of creativity and irreverence.
