Inspiration from Art

January 14, by heather powers. 4 Comments

monetcuffth.JPGOne of my greatest inspiration for colors and patterns in my beads are the works of the masters such as Monet and Van Gogh. 

There is a cool tool on Big Huge Labs that creates harmonious color palettes based on photos.  So you could upload your favorite paintings and instantly have the colors listed for you.  Of course you’ll need to know how to mix the colors!

    This is a fun tool. I used it a few months ago as part of my “Evolution of a Color Scheme” series a few months ago:

    I love the colors in that painting and the way you translated them into clay beads. I’ve been doing something similar lately, using fabric for inspiration. Fun!

    Hi!
    i’ve already test this tool and i don’t understand why i don’t have the right colors!
    yes, on a simple picture i don’t get the right colors.
    is there two levels for this tool?
    free and not free?

    to tell you something amazing:
    my best friend on the french net has just worked on the same painting as you have!
