Color

I had difficulty using the medium (acrylics), but the intent was to take two words; one noun and one adjective and create a color pallet to describe both elements. I chose to use the words "ethereal" and "oceanic".

I wanted the word ethereal to overlay the word oceanic like a sheer scarf with oceanic bleeding through. I wanted the color to be light and whimsical, I don't believe I hit the mark on this, but the colors I mixed were white yellow a touch of blue and some red.

I wanted oceanic to be a bold blue, as I feel oceanic is a slightly more intense the words like sea or ocean. Originally I was trying to have the letters of oceanic be reminiscent of cresting waves, but found I was unable to convey that feeling justly; so I worked on trying to give the word itself a wave form. The colors I used for oceanic were blue a little white and a touch of red.

Again my ignorance with the medium limits my ability but I am intrigued enough to play with the medium more.
