Art Snak: Exploration of BLUES
When blue takes the lead.
In this Art Snak, we slow down and let blue reveal its full range. Working in your art journal, you’ll compare warm, cool, and neutral blues, experiment with simple mixing and layering, and observe how blue shifts in mood and space when paired with its complement and earth tones. This is not a color theory lecture. Instead, blue becomes a vehicle for intuition, exploration and subtle learning.
As with all Art Snaks, you’ll work in your art journal in a stress-free, playful way designed to keep your creative practice moving without pressure or expectations.
Once registered, you will have immediate and indefinite access to the prerecorded exercises and will be invited to a private Facebook group.
What’s Inside
Part I – Comparing Warm, Cool, and Neutral Blues
Create simple journal studies comparing warm, cool, and neutral blues to better understand undertone, temperature, and how blues interact.
Part II – A Simple Blue Landscape
Build a loose, abstract landscape using only variations of blue to explore atmosphere, depth, and spatial feeling.
Part III – Blue with Its Complement (Orange)
Introduce orange as a subtle counterpoint to blue, experimenting with mixing and placement to create muted tones and gentle contrast.
Part IV – Blue with Brown
Pair blue with brown and earth tones to soften, ground, and stabilize the palette while maintaining complexity.
Part V – Mixing Teals and Celadons
Learn how to mix teals and celadons from blue using restrained additions of yellow, white, and neutralizers.
