    I am a big believer in color. I always try to make my lenses colorful. I also used to do copper enameling with my mother, although I don't have time for it now. I would like to learn digital art someday to see what I could create. Your art feels very peaceful to me.

    Super lens very informative :)

    This is such an inspiring lens! I love the results you get with complementary underpainting and also that idea of three viewing distances.

    Thanks Ann for visiting.

    This is another outstanding lens worthy to be *-*Blessed*-* and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust and also on Art Supplies.

  • BarbRad Jun 3, 2010 @ 1:06 pm | delete
    A wonderful lens. I will add it to my discovery tool on Templeton: Day in the Shade, lensroll it, and add it to my favorites. Welcome to Squidoo. I will be reading a lot more of your art lenses.
  • weavz Jun 4, 2010 @ 1:30 pm | delete
    Thank you for your support.
  • QueSea Jun 1, 2010 @ 6:44 pm | delete
    Thanks for an informative lens. Just got a new camera and am looking for new ways to conceptualize what I see...including color.

    I couldn't delete your email. There's too much good information for me to digest. I can't wait to do an outdoor scene where I can do more with complimentary colors. Thanks.
  • weavz May 23, 2010 @ 12:44 pm | delete
    Thanks Terry. I am glad you will use the information in my lens.

    Sharon, your paintings are beautiful! I have great admiration for painters.

    Thanks. Painting gives me pleasure, makes me pull out my hair and stretches my creativity.

    You're welcome. It is a great addition to my lens.
  • Mickie_G Apr 30, 2010 @ 1:40 pm | delete
    Ditto on the purple star! Well deserved! I learned a great deal from this lens. I never knew about painting in layers and how a color under another one influences the way the final piece of art looks.
  • weavz Apr 30, 2010 @ 6:27 pm | delete
    Thank you and I am glad that you found my lens interesting.
  • WindyWinters Apr 28, 2010 @ 1:25 am | delete

    Thanks for commenting on my fruit smoothie lens...I appreciate it! 5*

    I love purple so I have to be careful I don't add too much and you're welcome.

    We artists need to be appreciated so thanks for the praise.

    I need this color wheel in designing lenses.
  • weavz Apr 22, 2010 @ 8:42 pm | delete
    I should have thought, "Lens designers use color too." Thanks for stopping by.
  • theraggededge Apr 22, 2010 @ 3:45 am | delete
    Absolutely stunning - we want to see more, please! What's that sparkle in your painting there? Must be a touch of Angel dust :-)
  • weavz Apr 22, 2010 @ 8:41 pm | delete
    Thank you, the raggededge for your blessing. I know, I know, I am starting another lens and it will be out soon (I hope).
  • Jewelsofawe Apr 21, 2010 @ 9:14 pm | delete
    Great lens! Congrats on the purple star! Blessed this lens!
  • weavz Apr 22, 2010 @ 8:44 pm | delete
    WOW!! Thanks. I like that purple star and thanks for the blessing.
  • 4U2C Apr 20, 2010 @ 10:16 pm | delete
    Well, great lens, and here is a constructive idea. Find a way to teleport your gift for art, int my brain. Quite a talent you have!
  • weavz Apr 21, 2010 @ 11:32 am | delete
    Thanks 4U2C. Maybe a Vulcan mind meld, that way I'd pick up your talent too.
  • pogfrond Apr 20, 2010 @ 5:10 pm | delete
    Great and interesting lens! I liked your "Morning Hits the Rocks" and "Reflections of the Past" paintings the best because they are very sharp and detailed looking.
  • weavz Apr 20, 2010 @ 6:39 pm | delete
    Thank you pogfrond(cute green frog) and puzzlemaker(I love puzzles) for stopping by and taking the time to make a comment.
  • puzzlemaker Apr 20, 2010 @ 5:05 pm | delete
    I'm very impressed by your artwork. I'm glad you added the gallery so I could see lots at one time. Faded door is probably my favorite, but I really do like them all. Your style reminds me of a famous artist - I forget his name at present, but I'll be back as soon as it comes to me. Fantastic article here. Love it and I will take the advice as soon as I make time to paint again.
  • HorseAndPony Apr 20, 2010 @ 3:22 pm | delete
    Great lens. Thanks for all the info. Your art is beautiful. Blessed by The HorseAndPony Angel, http://www.squidoo.com/horseandpony-squidangel.

    2 angel blessings and a purple star within days of each other - WOW! I love your 'Fog on the Coast' painting.

    Thanks. You are right and I am thrilled. My first month has been amazing.

    Today is Purple Star Day here at Squidoo and Giant Squid lensmaster Geeve nominated this wonderful lens for a Purple Star. Congratulations!

    That is fantastic. A purple star is more than I could ask for. Thank you rms.

    Terrific lens about color and how to use it. I love the colors in the artwork you've pictured, particularly "A Friendly Sail" . . . very evocative
  • skiesgreen Apr 15, 2010 @ 1:17 am | delete
    Wonderful resource for budding artists. Blessed by an angel and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust. Well done and also 5*

    I like how you illustrated your point by making the same picture over again in different color combinations.
  • Flynn_the_Cat Apr 13, 2010 @ 5:51 pm | delete
    Awesome. Colour is my favourite part of paintings :D (and I think it's the part I'm best at >.> ) so this lens definitely interested me!
    Found this interesting article on neutral grey a couple of days ago - http://chiseledrocks.com/main/musings/topics/thecolorgray
  • weavz Apr 13, 2010 @ 6:11 pm | delete
    Thanks Flynn. I looked at the article on neutral grey and it was very interesting. Amazing how certain colors make a hole in your painting. I find that when in doubt add more color. There is a softening effect to the colors when they dry and if something is a little too strong I can easily take it down a notch.
  • Flynn_the_Cat Apr 13, 2010 @ 8:18 pm | delete
    Haha, the joy of painting digitally is I never having to worry about it changing as it dries XD
  • weavz Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:35 pm | delete
    I am going to start a list of articles and blogs for digital artists too. Thank you for the idea.
  • MiaBellezza Apr 13, 2010 @ 4:11 pm | delete
    Your art is simply mesmerizing!
  • JaguarJulie Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:56 am | delete
    Wow, you know one of my sisters is the artist in our family and she has adopted "color concepts" as her direction for her art. While it is quite colorful, I really prefer her other styles of art. I'm into abstract, expressionism, impressionism and cubism ... and fantasy too.
  • weavz Apr 13, 2010 @ 12:24 pm | delete
    Thanks for stopping by. With art, there is no right or wrong, just different ideas to explore. Many artists use a subdued palette and produce wonderful paintings. I think color is another tool in the paint box to be used by the artist. Would love to see your sisters work.
  • d-artist Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:09 am | delete
    OH WOW WOW!!! I love this lens! GREAT art and information...I am doing more plein air paintings and wanted to find a way of painting from my norm, this is a very informative lens...thanks for sharing! 5*
  • weavz Apr 13, 2010 @ 11:41 am | delete
    Thanks d. I have been painting plein air for a couple of years and am addicted to it too. Painting out of your comfort zone isn't easy but it can lead to great changes. Good luck.
  • Photahsiamirabel Apr 10, 2010 @ 3:49 am | delete
    I love it.... Colour is so important in art and your paintings just glow! 5* lens with beautiful work. Good luck :D
