"The Color Meditation Deck" by Lisa Solomon

$29.95

Unleash your creative expression with open-ended watercolor prompts from the author of A Field Guide to Color. Whether you are an experienced artist or just getting started, these cards will lead you to a new relationship with paint and color and offer a meditative break  for ideas and inspiration in all areas of your life.

With a booklet on basic color theory, materials, and 62 cards, The Color Meditation Deck offers over 500 potential combinations for endless color meditation opportunities. This deck gives you the mental space to concentrate on the act of creating itself instead of the anxiety that facing a blank page can give. It also adds a layer of surprise and challenge, helping you to break out of “creator’s block” and find fresh inspiration.
 
Draw a color meditation card (such as “Triangles”) and a parameter card (such as “Limited Palette”), grab your watercolors and paper, and get creative! Paint triangles in rows using red, yellow, and green. Or paint them in a star-shaped pattern. Or paint them willy-nilly across the page in all different sizes (equilateral? isosceles?). You can begin with the full-strength colors and then slowly add in white to tint them lighter each row. The options are endless and it’s totally up to you! You can do quick versions in 5–10 minutes or really slow down and paint for as long as you’d like.
