My kids are always asking me what my favorite colours are. It’s a big big deal to them. I guess their favorite color provides them with some sense of identity. They wear it like a badge of honor.
It took me a minute to answer. I mean I have favourite colours for different aspects of my life, but when I took an inventory of my artwork, two colors stood out the most: yellow ochre and Holbein’s Shell Pink.
What are your favorite colours to create in? Are they different from the colors of the clothes you wear? I skew towards black for most of my clothes, but the idea of painting in black seems terrifying to me. The idea of wearing yellow ochre and pink also terrifies me. It’s curious how colors playsuch a different roles in one’s life.
Anyways, I decided to quickly document my current favourite colours with these quick pencil and gouache drawings in my sketchbook.
