Picture of the Day ~ 02.04.16

I have not felt much like posting lately for some reason.  I haven't been doing much coloring recently due to vision issues and my return to crocheting (a winter thing, I think).  I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and post more again.  We will see how it goes ;)

This was done with markers.  It was done before I started writing stuff down, but from the look of it, I think it was done with mostly prismacolor/w&n/copic markers.  The center is a gold gel pen.

This is astoundingly good.  Your work always shows such great understanding of color complement and placement, especially with something as complicated as the patterns on this page.  The Colorists Cult is just so good at this it blows me aay sometimes.   

I've never been good at this, I just don't *get* colors this way, but I love coloering and I feel I'm improving through lots of practice and studying all of y'all's work.

Tl;dr:  Yowza, Curious!  Thanks Minions for all the inspiration each of you give me.  *goes back to my forum-reading, coloring book corner*

Since I started coloring very regularly again, I have done quite a bit of reading on color theory and it has really helped me with color selections. 

I agree seeing other FJ Colorists work is also quite helpful.  Some color combos that I would never try because they don't seem like they'd work well to me are so pretty on other folk's work that I make a mental note to try them. 

Both things have really expanded my knowledge and use of different colors.

I like the way you put the blue and purple and also the pink and red side by side (on the peace signs).  I feel like I'd have split them up, as in, blue, pink, purple then red. So I'd end up with less of a rainbow effect. I love all these rainbow looks that have been posted lately.  I agree with everything the others have said above. It's great.

That was my old rainbow pattern, which was red, blue, purple, green yellow, (orange), pink.   I had to cut one color out above to make it work out. 

I've recently changed my rainbow stuff, for some reason, to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink

      That makes 5 new Mortons in 2024, by my count, and the year is young...

      Does anyone know if Rachel had her baby? Kressant posted an IG story recently with a baby, but didn't say whose.

      Tight pants for men have been popular for a few years now. It confounds me. If I want to see your dick, I'll let you know. Otherwise, put it away, kthxbye.

      It’s like people working for Trump complaining when he acts like Trump. 😂

      Wouldn’t it be nice if she actually told her readers how this works in her house

      Well, she didn’t say each child gets to do all the activities. They could all be in church groups and home school co-op (no individual activities, so easy to coordinate), music lessons could well be with a teacher coming into their home, then one kid doing a sport, one kid in choir, “social events” could be anything that only happens once a year - and voilà, she wouldn’t have technically lied in her post, but makes it sound a lot more than it actually is for each individual child.

      Jeremy's pants are defrauding me, and not in a good way.
