Recently I’ve noticed of the worst features I could have in my life: I
am a workaholic. But this workaholism is not about Art, studying French
of other things I like to do. It’s all about my work, which is not even
close to visual arts. If I have a huge project to complete in two
weeks, I’ll complete it in a week and then get another one. I feel
myself exhausted, the lack of sleep doesn’t make me happy, I don’t see
my friends as often as I would like… I am not even mentioning my hobbies
and a simple desire to lie down on a couch with a good book and a cup
of tea!
So, I decided that it’s time for a big change. I am tired that my work rules my life and I’d like for it to be vice versa.
I’ve been studying my colours. In one of the blogs I’ve read about
the exercises students do in the College of Illustration, so I decided
to follow and do them by myself. It was a lot of fun, and I really
discovered something new about my palette, my preferences when choosing
the colours and how to handle the colours I really don’t like.
The first task was to mix as many greens as possible having only
primary colours. I chose Cadmium Yellow, Cadmiun Red and Ultraviolet.
