The colours of Santa Fe - exercises and experiments

Just back from a trip to Santa Fe where I attended a wonderful workshop organised by the Madeline Island School of Art, with two fabulous instructors, Suhita Shirodkar and Maru Godas. It's going to take me a while to process everything I have learned. It was intense. And fun. I'm thinking about colour now in a completely different way than my usual sketching style.

But let me start with some of the colour and mixing exercises we did. If you want to learn more, just follow these two amazing artists!

PS: the "kiss but no tongue" expression is my own.

PPS: I just remembered that pink and orange are my two favourite colours put together. Why did I not use them more? Probably years of masking and trying to paint with grown-up colours. Time to let the inner child in me come out and play!
