I am an author!

I am an Author, what?!?! that is still so crazy to say 🤗🤩.
To hold it in my hands is so surreal and I CANNOT wait until you all can have it on your bookshelves as well! But really on your painting desks 😉

July 20th!! You can pre-order now. I am working on some really special events for the book, virtual and in person for all my locals!

For all my pre-order lovelies, the virtual launch party will be July 21st, in the evening, And you will be getting more info for sign ups soon 😊
It’s really happening and I am so so EXCITED to be able to share this moment with you 🎉🎨!!! This is truly manifesting a dream from college years, I just want to sit in this moment for a while and truly digest everything, instead of doing what I normally do and move on to the next thing so so quickly.

Thank you for taking interest in my work and supporting me to create for you all everyday, I truly feel so grateful and so proud. 🥲😊

Where to start when choosing a color palette for your next painting

This is a very asked about topic and I finally decided to answer your question in a more thorough manner than “I just know from experience” Ummmm….. how does that help you, it doesn’t haha.

This is my first blog post on my website so I whole heartedly thank you for being here and reading my words. I have been painting for over 15 years so I have had time to really get to know color. I would say in the words of Kip (Napoleon Dynamite), “it’s getting pretty serious.”

Color is one of those things in painting that is very personal but there are theories that actually can help you determine different palettes and give you a starting point.

In this first lesson I go through and teach you some basic color theory that you will use not only as painter but in all areas of life that involve color, whether it be your home design or what flower to pick for your garden.

If you missed, I also have a worksheet with lots of insight and exercises I recommend for you to try. I really take you inside my personal process of picking my colors! It is the same process I use for all the kits I create in my shop. Think of it as special peek inside my brain and I am excited for you all to dive deeper with me into all my different art methods in the coming weeks.

I encourage you to share you progress with me if you try any of the exercises by tagging @pinkpuddlestudio

Happy Painting!
