I use color swatches from the paint store. I use them to try and mix the exact color (or close to that color), and picking 3-5 colors to use as my colors in a painting.
Laura, let the wonderful DOG come inside….:)
aww I know, when I watched the video back I realised how much he wanted to come in. He's unfortunately no longer with us 😭 but he was very much an inside and thoroughly pampered pooch when he was alive. He's crossed the rainbow bridge now.
@@LauraHornArt ohhh ? is really a huge pain to feel after a dog. i know it too well, after 2 dogs of mine died of old age.. after that it took me more then 7-8 months to recover..the only thing that helped is knowing that they were loved and we had a great life with them and thanks to them.. there is nothing like dogs..
Aww your old dog peeping in xxxx
Dear Laura - Thank you thank you! I've taken several of your classes, all contributing to my ongoing journey of exploring and making art. Not only presented beautifully, each class is so richly filled with clear and practical information, along with both inspiration and encouragement. And then today I discover this lovely new (free!) learning opportunity in my inbox..... Your generous offerings make a difference in our world! Again, my appreciation and gratitude.
Thank you so much Ellen! What a lovely comment to read. I'm glad you enjoy the classes and the freebies. It's lovely to be able to share something like this to encourage more creativity in the world.
What a great insightful exercise. Thank you! p.s. your dog wants in :)
I just did the color exercises with a couple of clothing catalogs and a glance around my home-so revealing! Thanks for these effective exercises, Laura. Amazing the way it’s easier to search for colors than to simply identify a palette that’s true to you.
Thank you for this. I also enjoyed seeing your sweet pup at the door.
Glad you enjoyed it 🐾
I'm a textile artist and I love your courses and shorter classes. Enjoying the quick exercises for starting new work. Just the inspiration that I need!
Thank you, happy to hear that the short lessons hit the spot. Often, all you need is a little spark 🌟
I know this is from a month ago, but that seems so interesting! What exactly do you get to do? What is the process for creating g a new textile design? Do you get free reign or do you get a "theme" given to you and then go from there?
Having listened to the podcasts when you were moving & seeing brief photos it's lovely to see some of your home, now you are all settled in. I adore the lab peeping through the door. I'm very drawn to nature's palette & I love how you have extended your garden with indoor plants. I used to have a lot until I got my current cat, but most are gone now as they were toxic for her. 😊🌿😊🇬🇧
Thank you, I feel the same - it’s lovely to get a peek at where someone you follow lives! This home is everything I hoped for and more. We’re still making changes, but it’s a real homey and nature filled home which I love ❤️
Having a hard time watching you with your beautiful dog peeking in the window, lol.
You are not alone, he’s stealing the show 😆 He certainly doesn’t like to miss out on any action!
Sweet little doggie outside! Love you yard. This looks like a great challenge! Thank you!
Thank you, he definitely wants to come inside and join in 🐾
You have a beautiful home and garden, Laura.
Has anyone mentioned the Australian lady Sarah Renae Clark who has 2 boxes each filled with cards showing hundreds of colour combinations? On one side of each card she puts 5 colour swatches and a photograph of objects using those colours and on the back of the card she shows light, medium and dark of each colour. I love looking through them seeking colour inspiration. You can watch people unboxing the cards on RUclips.
Are those the color cubes? Denise Love on YT does color challenges with them.
Full of ideas, thank you! And you gave me a excuse to keep my magazine! 😃 Flow is the best! 🤩
You are so welcome! I absolutely LOVE Flow magazine!! My all-time favourite ❤️
@@LauraHornArt - I would love to subscribe to Flow and see what its like, but I think I read that they are no longer printing it in English?? I live in the States...
LOVED THIS, GREAT IDEA TO USE A JNL FOR IT so obvious, why didnt i think of it.....;):):):):)
What a lovely, gentle exercise.
It's galloping towards 11pm here in NSW so I'll take note for another day.
Thanks for taking the time to create this mini series ❤
This is a great idea for finding a color palette. I do have quite a collection of magazines. Thank you for your inspiration and great instruction!!
Laura talking about colour palettes - I love the tones you choose in your clothes. Also, I live in NSW can I ask how you order your Flow magazines? I love watching you express yourself through your art and you are very relaxing to listen to so thanks for all your great videos 🌺
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the video and the clothing choices!! Unfortunately, Flow is no longer available to order in Australia. A while ago the English print edition was discontinued. Very sad as it is my favourite magazine. I hope it returns downunder one day.
@@LauraHornArt Thanks for letting me know about the magazine 💗
This is so inspiring- I can’t wait to begin. Thank you Laura ❤
This is exactly where I needed to start..simple yet effective 😮…thanku so much..
I love the colours in your outfit and that is giving me inspiration..❤
This challenge is precisely what I’ve been needing. How fun! Thank you for your guidance and inspiration!
Your doggie wants to come in and make some art with you 🥰
I know, he hates to be left out! He is very much an inside family dog and studio companion ❤️
Love it Laura! I'm getting a late start, but I'm having a ball already! 😊
So happy you are enjoying it! Challenges are so fun and I really like short ones. A quick burst of inspiration can be very mojo boosting.
@@LauraHornArt Definitely! 😀
great inspiration. Definitiely going to try this exercise. Thank you
Great idea to do paint tests beside the colour swatches. I would feel the need to have a 'test' paper (slop sheet) at the side to first experiment with the tube hues.
3:40 A certain furry person behind you is wondering who you’re talking to & why you’re not snuggling with them lol. 11:02 Good to see they made it inside to keep you company 🤗🐶
I thought the same thing 😂 the doggie is like “hey what the heck let me in!!”
Even if it's raining outside, the sun shines in my creative book thanks to your inspiring ideas. Gratefully from Belgium :-D
Wow, thank you! That’s so lovely 🥰
Thank you, this helps me to produce a more muted palette
Perfect! Glad that you found it helpful.
This is just what i needed. Perfekt exercises to find your colors 👍🏻🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Laura I am not a magazine type person so this is how I solved this for me: By nature I enjoy card making so I after purchasing lovely colored card stock I created color swatches of the card stock in color recipes that were provided by the company. ( Paper Trey Ink has a lot of them on their blog in case you want to check them out. )
I also found out about the color cube collection of color palettes for inspiration, so for me those two resources help me.
I use those color palettes to match with all my supplies to create seamless transitions of mediums in my card making, journal, and painting.
I love your process! That sounds so simple and organised, and I love how you matched all of your swatches to your mediums. Simply brilliant! 😊✨ Thank you for sharing!
Ta Laura, this is a nice and easy start and the pages look nice just like that. 😊
Thank you 🙏 I think so too!
Love this process. I need it so badly as I need to simplify my colour combos! I'm spending today exploring in this way! Thank you!
So glad to hear that you found this helpful, happy creating!
Ive just subscribed. I must say i love how you approach your swatches and colours. Those lillies are also called Easter Lillies and are wonderful plants.
Enjoying this series
Thank you for subscribing! I'm so glad you found my page!
Muchas gracias por tu generosidad!!! Hermoso video! A trabajar!! ❤
Video bombed by your adorable dog in the background 💕oh and this is a great vid thank you
Glad you liked it!!
Here in California the pink flowers bloom late summer early fall...which must be where you are now. But we call them Naked Ladies or Amaryllis. Thanks for this series!
I went out and bought this colourful magazine I’ve never bought before (Uppercase) and I have to say the exercise of going through the magazine and cutting out the colours and textures that spoke to me was the best exercise I’ve done to find “my colours” since I started my art journey 6 years ago! I love colour so much so it’s really hard for me to narrow it down…so this really really helped!! It’s even better than buying collage papers (which I have a stack of too)! I even brought out a flat basket to keep my cut outs in and subscribed to the magazine! What a great first step!! Thank you!!
Love this exercise! Giving me so many ideas already.
Good morning 🤗 Laura 🌹 so enjoy Day 1 and looking for colour swatches for the 1st day's Colour Palette Prompt can't wait for the next one ☺️🌹💌🖌️🎨🦄🤗
Thank you!
New ideas : I have never thought about cutting plain pieces of paper for collage, always searching for the ones with a kind of pattern, How tight my way of thinking was ....also the palette was chosen based on common suggestions (primaries, cool, warm), nothing on my personal taste. The third new point for me is the approach of looking around, also through the garden. This video was a Joy for the eyes and very inspiring.As an animal lover, I also enjoyed watching your dog wanting to be inside with you. Thank you very much!
So glad there were little sparks in there for you 🌟 Our dog, Cooper, is never keen on bring separated from the action ❤️🐾
Great video!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Laura, I soooo need this tutorial to help me explore colour combinations. You are a great teacher.
Your vlog is good i love this topic
Found it interesting that the green palette you choose looks like it matches your blouse.
This happens all the time for me. I often paint in the same colour palette as the clothes I am wearing. It's my colour mood for the day!
Great color tutorial
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Loving this, what a lovely relaxing way to pass a couple of hours whilst learning more about yourself and how it can reflect in your artwork. Thank you so much for sharing x
Glad you enjoyed it!
I find I’m drawn to certain colours depending on my mood or the time of year. Even the weather!
Oh yes, me too, it changes quite a bit, although there are some colour palettes that I always come back to!
I rally adore both the way you show your work and how you do it. I am watching you being after all art schooles I have finished AND it is a first time I feel like being ENOUGH. I feel so inspired and relaxed in one time:D. I am looking forward what is going to be next!
Thank you, I’m so happy it makes you feel that way ❤️
so interresting!
Just found you, and have subscribed. Love your ideas.
What a brilliant inspiring tutorial. Thank you so much
Very inspiring,thank you,
I hated to hear that Flow magazine had to quit producing their English version. Ive been loving your videos lately, keep up the great work!!
It is so devastating not to be able to get Flow here anymore 😢 It was my favourite magazine.
You can also photograph and print the pages if you don't want to tear or cut pages from the magazines.
I’m inspired! Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome!
Laura Help! How many colours is ideal...ive gone over the top a bit😮😅
Ok I love your lab
He’s such a sweetie 🦮
Merci ! C’est très stimulant 🌸
Glad you enjoyed it 💞
Next question - would you mind telling me the exact name of the glue you used and is it suitable for gluing all types of paper to a painting? I don't know much about mixed mediums yet as I only have used watercolours up to now and I am just a beginner. Thanks very much 🌺
No need to answer as I just went through the video again and also your supplies on your website and found it 👍
So glad you found it! Please let me know if you have any other questions that arise.
Laura this is Bonnie Fowler, I know we need to use our colors but do you mind telling me what colors you used on your two background colors.
Thank you
The colours I use in the two spreads are undersea green, goethite, payne's grey and napthamide maroon. These are all Daniel Smith watercolours, and I also use some Daler Rowney FW white acrylic ink.
Merci infiniment 🙏😊
🌬🎨Day 1 of this challenge..
That's so exciting! I love the first day of a new art challenge, have fun!
Lovely
Thank you so much 🙏
@@LauraHornArt so welcome
Laura did you design the fabric of your blouse ?
I wish I could say I did, but no! I am trying to remember the name of the place I got it, but it escapes me!
I am cracking up laughing, I have a friend that does a lot of collage and uses a lot of books. The lady behind the counter was mortified when she told her what she did with them and has told the volunteers' not to sell book to her. Can you tell that I am from a stall town?
Oh my gosh, wow, that's too funny!
🍁
Gorgeous ideas; careful with Lillys or any family member very toxic to animals.
If you don't want to cut something up, scan it into your computer and keep in a folder named by that particular magazine.
🤗💖😊
For example, do you find beauty in a stain on the wall ？
Sometimes, yes!
This was an inspiring lot of fun Laura . I took a slightly different approach . It was free spirited fun , thank you Carole .@caroleatthebarn
