TREE BARK BROWNTree Bark Brown, from the Spring Set of Viviva Color Sheets, is an unusual color, or at least behaves unusually. I found that depending not only on the amount of water I used, but where I activated the color sheet from, I came up with different shades of brown to Bordeaux or even a dusty pink. This was not a negative in the case of the succulent I was painting as it had that range of brown to wine or pinkish areas. This meant I really only needed a green and a very watery blue to complete the palette for this one. Tree Bark Brown did not seem to be as much of a stainer as the other pigments so far. I found it fairly easy to lift compared to the others I have swatched so far.

SOUL“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you. Archives
