Color Cubes #269 - Due March 14, 2025

Oh, leydab, I'm so happy you decided to join. You frequently show up for my swaps (though I haven't done any for a while), so I am glad to see you again.

Jo.... I am trying to match your color codes but nothing (in Michael's) has anything named Steel Blue.
Fuschia is also very hard to find.
I am making do with my Derwent Inktense and other brands that I have.
 
Wonderful cards mybrokenart. They are EXACTLY the sort of art I was hoping to see. Thanks for posting them to the thread. I will let you know when they arrive.

ArtSean329: I will add you to our list of artists.

Ohhh, thank you for saying! I'm always nervous posting my cards! I feel like I'm still new and maybe not fully understanding the direction.

I realized I don't have your address. I'm so surprised by that. I feel like I've worked with you already. Maybe because I've received a couple of your cards! Could you email it, please?

Can't wait to see your cards, ArtSean329!
 
Sounds like fun! I'll take a spot on the lurker's couch until I can be sure I'll have them done. I think I can find colored pencils in the correct colors.
Do you think graphite would be OK? It isn't black but could be a tint of black. I may find another pencil and see if I can get a gray.
 
Lorna, you are welcome as a lurker. I often don't sign up for a swap until I finish my cards.
As for matching colors, just do the best that you can. I seem to collect watercolor pencils, and even owning over 200 (yikes!), I can't find exact matches to all the colors that appear on the color swatch. If you can tell by the 269 card, the black varies from an intense midnight black to a dark charcoal grey. For your cards, graphite would be fine. I don't want anybody to feel uncomfortable if they can't find an exact match.
 
Heya there!
Something like that could be fine?

Love the idea of an extra limited palette! Tried to match the colors with the 5 most symilar I was able to find between my markers... the extra shadings are popped out mixing the colors - the only exra addictions are white touches for star and a minimal touches of fuxia glitter pen...
