How Does Color Affect Your Emotions?


The Magic of Color



Perhaps you have never thought much about color, but I promise you color has more impact than one ever imagined!

Artists have studied its secrets and use them to make masterpieces come alive. The world's most beautiful people have discovered its power in fashion, home decor, cosmetics and Interior Design.  From the beginning of time, we were blessed with the beauty of nature and all of the colors in their finest of hues. The seasons, Autumn, Spring, Winter and Summer, each with its unique and harmonious colors, has showered our world with colors. The golden undertones found in Autumn, as crisp as the October leaves. The first  daffodil that blooms each Spring blossoms in warm yellow tones. The cool, icy colors of blues, greys and violets of Winter,  that sparkles like a glittering snowflake. And the soft colors of the sea, sand and sky glow in the June of Summer with cool, blue undertones. Color is magic, not only, is it beautiful, color also affects ones emotions, their surroundings and daily interactions.

Let us consider the following colors and how they can affect you with their emotions!
Red is a very emotionally intense color!
Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow!

Yellow is the color of sunshine!

Green is the color of nature!
Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red!
White is connected with perfection!
Black is associated with power, elegance, strength, mystery and grief.





Yes, color is a wonderful teaching tool to portray images that are understandable and memorable both to the artist and in daily living. Color helps us to gather and process information. Color affects our emotions. Color can help us remember important ideas.

Color is a beautiful gift to help us to enjoy life!

Art of Facts | Uncovering Pittsburgh Stories Kickstarter Campaign




Thinking today about my journey through the world with the gift of creativity.

It is a joy to express your vision through color, drawing and painting. To bring emotion to every illustration. I would like each of my works to show it's being has its own life, has its own ideas, has its own love, sadness, joy or anger.
By using expressive external elements of the painting to reveal the subject's internal world, its inner meaning.
This study takes years and years of practice with trials and errors along the way. But one of the most valuable decisions
I ever made was to join a professional artist group.
With seasoned illustrators as mentors, their guidance and direction, you become adept and skilled at your craft.

In support of that decision, please help our
Pittsburgh Society  of Illustrators Kickstarter Campaign
.


This group's mission is to mentor and inspire young artists
to consider a career in illustration.

This campaign will run through August 17th, 2017 to raise funds for producing a high-quality,
full-color, 120-page catalog that will include reproductions of each work in the show along with bios and statements of each Illustrator.
Please visit our campaign site to learn more, receive updates and help make this exhibit the exciting success it was meant to be! Your credit card will not be charged UNLESS we meet our goal!
