a new palette

love sweet love - 8 x 10 giclee print of original collage, ink + gouache - Susan Black


Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad,
whether they love or hate it.
While they are deciding
make even more art.

Andy Warhol

What I love about what I've been doing lately is I'm never sure what the end result will be - I start with a small thumbnail sketch & an idea of a colour palette but stuff happens along the way ... sometime really good things, sometimes regretful - but always helping hone the craft of it all.

I'm really loving this new bright pink, oranges + yellow colour palette.

  4. are the pitt pens what you use to draw the white? I use a cheap roller white for that but who knows how viable that is over time. mostly i still paint white with a teeny brush. nice colors on a sweet sentiment.
