Colours described as being analogous colours are next to one another on a colour wheel, and many theorists believe that using these or monochromatic colour schemes (different shades of the same hue) can have the most harmonious effect especially if textural variation is also employed (O’Connor, 2014).
So if I’m going for harmony I need to group colours and then gradually transition to the others. How could I add textural variation – ? through different quilting? Think I need to buy more colours. Maybe go in and buy the whole range in one go. Or the whole range of one colour in one go so that I can keep track. Will have to start again as I already have some colours but won’t know which ones they are. Going to make lots of squares without the final design fully organised this year. Then maybe at the end of the year I can use for quilts for the guild show and smaller quilts for the IOT show if I am included. Or maybe even try and get a show of my own going.
Bought the book Conscious creativity so don’t forget to read it.
