Course

These are some of the exercises that we did on Karen's course.  Each person's is very different which made the class all that more interesting.

 This one was meant to show the effect of colour placement and how colours affect each other.  The pink and orange are very bright and don't show well in the picture, but you get a sense of size of the centre squares - they are all equal, but don't look it.


 I've wanted to play with trees for a while, and we were given a series of words and told to choose one and portray it.  This is growth.


More colour exercise.  The top left is an assembly of different pieces to show how to make transparency.  The other 3 were meant to show the effect of colours on other colours.  I think some of the effects have been lost in the photographs.....the best one is the diagonal slash - it looks  different with the different backgrounds but it's the same colour in both.

    What a useful workshop. These lessons in colour theory are so important. Wish I could have been there too.

    Looks as though it was a good course. The hardest thing is to remember the lessons learnt when designing a quilt!

    CBC radio broadcast a 54-minute program yesterday on Ideas, with Paul Kennedy, on The Power of Colour. It's Part 1 of 2. You can listen to the podcast at

    One of the things that I hope to be able to do is critique my own work a little better. It's so frustrating looking at something knowing you have a good idea, but just can't make it work. As you may see when I get my challenge done!

    Wonderful Workshop! Nobody seems to have created these types of workshops down my part of the world and they would be so useful. Envy!
