Thanks :-) And I understand. Colour is terribly hard. It changes everything, imparts mood, it dominates utterly, and some colours attract some people and repel others... A good place to start with colour is to acknowledge all that and say 'what do I want colour to do here?'. If you want it to give a small pick-me-up then maybe judicious spot colour would be good. if you want joyous craziness then go strong. Soft pastel colours give a gentler feeling... It gets fun eventually!! x e Hi Elizabeth! Thanks And I understand. Colour is terribly hard.

I love to draw too, but when it comes to colour - I get terrible artist's block, why do I spend so much time trying to avoid doing something that I love and really want to see myself doing all the time?....arrh the mysteries of being human. Your site, gets the creative vibe going though, so thank you. I have found your website very inspiring and informative!
