Art every Day Twenty-Eight • Red....We meet Again

Day Twenty-Eight of Making Art Every Day

Here I am back to red. Trying to think outside the box again in regards to using more of it. 

I just recently mentioned that red is not in my usual color palette. I am an orange loving person, it is my red, as you can read here and here. 

So today I went around the house looking for red things to photograph and inspire me. I found a few things to share and I put together a mini mood board for you. Have you tried a new color you hardly ever incorporate into your work? Just curious.

Red is the color of 

confidence 

courage

action 

energy

and 

passion
It is the highest arc of the rainbow

 At twilight it is the first color you lose sight of

Red demands attention and represents beauty in many languages and cultures.

It shows determination to go after dreams.

It is also an emotionally intense color often associated with love. 
In China it is associated with good luck and fortune. 
In many cultures red amulets were worn to prolong life.

 AEDM brings together a group of creative people committing themselves to more creativity for the month of November. Stop by Leah's website, Creative Every Day and check out fellow artist and their creations for Art Every Day Month.
