"Jasper" - Color Throwdown Challenge CTD308 - Digital Seamless Tiling Abstract Design in Yellow, Orange and Pink

Yellow, pink and orange is one of my favourite colour palettes, so I was very excited when I saw this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. This week I decided to go back to seamless tiling abstract artworks. I haven't been making enough abstracts lately, and I need a few to get some greeting cards or post cards printed up. Also a few Spoonflower fabric designs. Maybe some throw cushions. I'll see where it takes me.

I went a smidge brighter on the yellow to get it a bit closer to the banana yellow shade of the bottles. That shade of orange is similar to the one I used on "Austin", which reminds me of orange sherbet. The shapes I've used came out looking like lanterns and hourglasses. That's one of the things I love about making symmetrical tiling abstract art - you can get an idea of how something is going to turn out, but the end result is almost always surprising in some way.

Spoonflower Wacom Inkling Digital Sketch Pen Giveaway

Spoonflower have just posted a competition to win a Wacom Inkling. I was looking at these a while ago when I was researching graphics tablets and thought it was a pretty good idea. Apparently you draw directly onto paper and the little sensor picks up each stroke and makes a digital copy of it.

If you click my referral link and enter, I get an extra entry, so I thought I'd post about it here. Click Here to Enter.

Also, since I need a pretty picture to go with this post, here's a sketch which might become one of my next paintings.
