In all my years as a painter I have rarely pre-mixed a palette, but the ten color challenge seemed like a good opportunity to do so.
For the challenge I began by doing color studies, another thing I never do. Then it was on to making gelatin prints using
the 'intaglio' technique I found on the Gelliarts blog. Using Dynaflow fabric paints I filled in the black design with my 9 pre-mixed colors, finishing the work with machine quilting and overcast zigzag edge binding. Visit
my blog for more pictures.
