Not a very inspiring title I know but I think honesty is the best policy. This morning my brain is functioning less well than a cauliflower, nothing is flowing, even my colour palette looks grey. The wind is blowing outside my studio and the sky is dark. Sometimes the inspiration just isn’t there and nothing you do seems to work.

I think an injection of colour is what’s needed. Time to clear my palette of paint and add some vibrancy into this dreary day. I will use a basic palette of cerulean blue, magenta and hansa yellow. Burnt umber to mix in for darks and of course white. I think possibly that once I start mixing these colours into countless degrees of hue my day will start brightening up, even if only in my studio.

Next time I’ll let you know how things turned out.

Thanks for reading, see you next time,  Michael.
