The thing I like most about art, you create what you’re inspired to create. The 6×9 inch drawing was done n white paper with art markers.

Well actually it is one red flower and two orange ones. The picture once again is done with art markers by Crayola.

A lot of times I don’t have time to sit and paint. What do I do? I grab what is nearby, usually art marker, and create. The painting above is a 6×9″ done with Crayola marker.

This is one of my little 6×9 inch art marker paintings. This one was fairly successful in capturing scene n a few colors and then adding some pen for highlights.
3 Reasons I Like To Use A Limited Palette Challenge
I am the type of artist who likes to use color in my paintings. In fact the brighter the better. However there are times when I enjoy limiting my palette to just several colors. Here are three reasons why.
1. I love the challenge. A little palette of colors offers more of a challenge in order to to create a finished a painting.
2. The outcome is dramatic. In the end the outcome is more dramatic. This is the reason I like black and white Ansel Adams photographs.
3. Less colors I have to fuss over. A limited palette means you have less colors to use but you need more of your muse in order to create a finished work of art.
Take the limited palette challenge. It is very rewarding.
