Spring/ Summer scarf palette

Today I was able to create my Spring/Summer Palette for my scarf designing module. I found this picture online and instantly fell in love with the combination of colours. I'm really enjoying making colour palettes at the moment, especially coming up with names for each colour. I just can't wait to inject these colours in to my designs and really make them come to life.

Using Watercolours again

It's been a while since I've used watercolours; I got some new ones and so I was excited to use them.

My own Autumn-Winter colour palette

After yesterdays workshop I just couldn't wait. I picked out some images i loved and created my own palette from them, I think these colours would look really great on and autumn collection scarf, so I will be using it for my current module. The hardest part was probably picking a name for each colour, but it was a lot of fun and I am entirely happy with what I have managed to come up with

Colour Palette Workshop

Today I took part in a colour palette workshop. After studying the colour wheel carefully we had to create a colour palette based in an image that we were given. This is what I created. I love all of the different tones and shades i have managed to pick out. It was also my first time naming my own colours. This has given me some serious inspiration to start creating a colour palette for my own project.
