Engaging in art is a good way to test your color coordinating skills. As such, I have a wide array of art supplies that go widely unused. It's quite unfortunate. It's kind of like knowing that you have a genre preference in books and when you try to read out of your genre, it just feels more like work. I like having art supplies, but I really don't use them much at all. What I prefer for my color exercise is flower arranging. It follows my own style of just slapping things together, doing a quick check to make sure everything looks good from all angles. As much as I would like to, I don't have time to design things from the heel up. I'll find a way to put my art supplies to use, just not now.
Whenever I have some excess flowers, I like making an arrangement. The red and white queen Anne's Lace came from Valentines day. I decided to go to the grocery store to pick up some cheap flowers, they should have been cheap considering that it was after Valentine's Day. I found some orange carnations and purple mum looking things.
Purple, red, white, and orange...I think that almost any color combination can work as long as the color are in the right proportions and dispersed properly. I personally like orange and purple together so having them in chunks isn't so bad. The Queen Anne's Lace serves as more of an accent. Here's the finished product:
Take the time to work with color. It's not exactly playing dress up, but it will make getting dressed a lot easier in the mornings or evenings.
