My Blogging Business Artisans team sets forth a new Challenge every month. The purpose is to encourage us to explore our creativity, to stretch our imaginations. Perhaps we are re-working something we've done in the past or still do. Perhaps we're making something entirely new.
Linda of Pruitt Creations gives us this Challenge for the month of March:
Let's explore color in terms of tint. In color theory a tint is the mixture of a color with white which increases lightness. We often create with bright color and ignore tints of color. Create a project with muted tints....
When I'm dyeing fabric, water, not paint, is my medium for creating tints. I love to play with color! I'll mix my dyes to create new colors or add varying amounts of water to make lighter tints. Below are two scrunchies. One is dyed with full strength of the particular dyes I used, the other with muted colors created by adding specific amounts of water.
For the March Challenge I decided to explore tints with paint. I got out my acrylics and an ATC size card (2.5" x 3.5") and began.
