ReplyDeletered teal and yellow but although i love that combo so much and it makes me happy the one that shows up MOST is lilac, sky blue and cream. The craziest part is, i don't like the color purple, at all, but it shows up all the time. So maybe i actually do like it. HEHE
thanks for the chance to win :)
Oh cool. Would love to win a spot. I adore working with purple and turquoise just lately. Good luck everyone. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love all sorts of bright colors, but tend to use blues, greens and purples the most.

ReplyDeleteI love pink, purple and green although whatever I am working on is my favourite at the time! This is an amazing prize, thank you for the chance! xxx

ReplyDeleteif i could only pick two colours, I would choose turquoise blue and orange…make it POP!
ReplyDeleteI love Robin's Egg Blue with a splash of lime green. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Kristin!

ReplyDeleteJorin
My favorite trio is magenta, aqua and moss green...but I hate to play favorites...bring them all on!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win a place. I luv bright colours but I tend to lean towards blues/turquoise and greens.
ReplyDeleteGray and almost anything!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin. I'm really glad you asked that question. It gave me food for thought. I'm a newbie as far as art and journalling go, and the I'm just realising now that I don't use my favourite colour combination in my work - ever! The colours that came to mind were black white and red (with some grey if degrees of light and shade are needed), but I haven't done one spread using them, so today I will. Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to win a spot with all you wonderful ladies teaching on LB 2015 with Tam.
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin! What an exciting opportunity for you to teach! Thank you for the chance to win a spot in this awesome class!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combination has to be Purple, Grey, and Plum!
Difficult to choose as I love colour but I think at the moment it is teal and hot pink. Thanks for the chance to win a place. Art is like air for me I need it to live so the chance of a weekly art lesson would be heavenly.
ReplyDeleteOrange and... all the colors. OK maybe not all the colors but MOST of the colors. ;-)

ReplyDeleteYou've made me think about this! If you asked me my favourite colours - straight away I'd say purple, black and the autumnals.
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me the colours I have to replace the most often in my paint stash? Turquoise, Sea Breeze (a pale blue in the Kaiser colour range), Aqua and Pistachio! That has surprised me... quite a bit actually.
Thank you for the chance Kristin - I suspect THEY are just as honoured to be teaching alongside YOU!

Oh my goodness, Kristin, what a fabulous prize! As for my favourite colour combo, well, each week of Summer of Color I have discovered my latest favourite color combo, haha! At the moment it is duck egg blue and burgundy. Who knows what it'll be tomorrow!
ReplyDeletexxxx
I love blues and pinks and greens and purples...they look so damn gorgeous all dripping & melting into each other!!
ReplyDeleteI like so ice colors like orange, yellow and bronze.
ReplyDeleteI am such a sage green and gray-blue kinda of girl. I use others but those are my go to colors. Soft and quite. Like the a cloudy day in the woods.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for offering this! Colour combo is easy - these days its teal and pink (or brown)....I love teal....
ReplyDeletePlum purple and scarlet or turquoise and chartreuse are my favorite color combinations to work with. I'm looking forward to Lifebook, and to what you'll teach in it!

ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Kristen
My favorite color combination is pink, green and white/sometimes blue. I'm so VERY SUPER excited to see you in the teacher lineup for Lifebook 2015!! Congrats!!! :) xxoo
ReplyDeleteBright greens and dreamy blues are my usual go-to colors. A "mystery palette challenge" themed altered book I just worked on forced me to step out of my normal color comfort zone. Using turquoise, persimmon, tomato, and white exclusively did not fell limiting as I expected it would and I was so inspired by the contrast
ReplyDeleteI am full of warm colors this summer. Yellow and orange, orange and red, and every shade in between.
ReplyDeleteSince my art class at the college this summer I seem to have become more comfortable with brighter colours. Lately my favourite colour combo is brilliant yellow green and pthalo blue (gs).
ReplyDeleteacrylic; yellow ochre, turquis blue, titanium white, and then oil pastells the olive green and lemmon yellow and a little bit of black in carholl and a black stich thread.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combos have to be hot pink and lime green. I love them in a collage. Love LB and would love to win a spot in this awesome course!
ReplyDeletemy favorite color combo - wow i am still developing my color style, maybe that's why i need to win a life book spot.
ReplyDeletei love bright vibrant green and i love bright vibrant purple but my favorite color is orange. maybe its lime green and turquoise or blue and yellow. eitherway color has a sound and it speaks volumes to me. thanks 4 opportunity to win.
I absolutely love teal colour, as well as greens and burgundy's. Thanks for this opportunity to win a spot in Life Book 2015!! So grateful. :)
ReplyDeleteTo pick a color combo leaving out many others is so so difficult for me...and yet if I have to pick I think I tend to pick warm colors somehow or the other! I love pinks and blues too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance Kristin... fingers tightly crossed :)
My favorite combo is teal and magenta- those two colors make me so happy!
ReplyDeleteHi! Am am really looking forward to your lesson on LB2015. I have always loved playing with blues and greens. When I was little my mother would never let me wear those two colours together. Then the Beatles and Twiggy appeared and blue and green was cool! To this day, for some unknown reason, blues and greens are part of my environment and art. Thanks for the giving us the opportunity to win a spot.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I do a lot of gelli printing and I love to work with three primaries and mix other colors from them; and mix with burnt umber to pull the (mixed) colors together. As it is fall I sometimes stick to the warm end of the spectrum: yellow, red and orange tones.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the spot on Lifebook - as it is a great inspiration for techniques and other color schemes.I looked at all my work and saw that the colour scheme Tam uses often has seeped into my work (other than LB work). So that's my second color set: magenta, yellow, yellowish green and teal. ;-)
I always say my favorite combination to work with is teal/pink/yellow but in reality my art seems to lean toward red/green/gold. Hmmm, what does that tell me. Thanks for this opportunity! deardeniseh (at) yahoo (dot com)
ReplyDeleteAs we enter the autumn season and leaves are changing color,I am smitten with the beauty of rust and yellow...favorite colors at the moment inspired by nature and my daily walks

ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combinations change - very dependent upon my energy and 'mood'. Currently I am loving grounding colors - all shades of brown with a pop of pink. I hadn't loved pink before, but it is fascinating me to play with.
