MariJ Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 June is a month of seasonal changes; the southern hemisphere begins their winter while we in the north enjoy warmer summer days. In my painting class we learned about warm and cool colors. “WARM” colors are made with orange, red and yellows and remind us of sunlight and heat, while “COOL” colors are shades of blues, greens and light purple which make us think of water and sky. Most paintings are either cool or warm but adding a pop of the opposite color can also help bring you into the focus point on your page. Interesting, huh? So, for today I challenge you to play with color and create a layout that is primarily “warm” or “cool” on the color wheel. Feel free to add a pop of the opposite colors and tell us in your layout notes which choice you made and why. When you are finished please post your layout in the Tuesday Challenge Gallery and leave a link back here in this thread. Have fun and I can’t wait to see what you decide on!

Florida granny Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm not home at the moment, as you know, but I have a photo in mind at home that will look good with cool colors. I love any kind of color challenge and will put something together early next week. That's not too late, I hope! "Cool" challenge Marilyn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
