The "Swatch This" Challenge Day 116

OCEAN BLUE

Ocean Blue, which falls somewhere between Cerulean Blue and Manganese Blue Hue, is one of the Spring Set of Colorsheets by Viviva. Lovely, transparent, vivacious blue, whose name says all of that in just a word. Oceans, and the rare blue flower, like this gorgeous Himalaya Poppy beg for Ocean Blue pigment. In all honesty, I added a bit of this brands more violet blue, which I will swatch later this week, called Indigo but has cool purplish undertones that helped me find the center of this poppy and push the petals in shadow back a bit.

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.
