Notes: It had been a long time since I had done any color mixing, so this exercise was challenging yet satisfying.

Color swatches created from magazine clippings

Notes: I almost cheated on this one by selecting favorite paint chips at the hardware store instead of flipping through magazines to pull pages with colors that spoke to me. I'm glad I followed the instructions as I feel much more comfortable using magazine clippings in my collages after the last few exercises I posted. I tend to be an earth tones sort of gal, so the pinks and yellows I pulled sort of surprised me.
