Colors & Emotions & Meanings, oh my!…

NostrArtstr — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 20:29:29 GMT

Colors & Emotions & Meanings, oh my!

If you’re interested in which colors tend to have what significance and relate to which emotions (with some differences across cultures), here’s a quick article with some basics: https://99designs.com/blog/tips/how-color-impacts-emotions-and-behaviors/

If you want to freedom to pick a specific color (my personal favorite is Navy Blue), then check out the Canvas Color Meanings & Symbolism webpage: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/ …. to read a few fun facts, see related color palettes, and all the numbers you need to create that color including the traditional Hex, CMYK, web safe and binary (?!) values.

Maybe even take time over the next few days to play with colors that soothe and relax you, just in case there might be some incoming stress in your life at the end of this month.

Almost halfway through November - have you…

NostrArtstr — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 20:26:20 GMT

Almost halfway through November - have you had a chance to play with color for our Art Challenge this month? If you do, please use the #nostrartstrNov2024 hashtag so I can see what you create.

If you’ve got a few minutes, this is a fun online color matching game to play in a web browser: https://color.method.ac/

The folks who created this also have other games and tools: https://method.ac/

… including an open source vector editor that doesn’t require any registration: https://editor.method.ac/

If you'd like help choosing…

NostrArtstr — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 23:46:42 GMT

If you'd like help choosing a range of your single color, or other colors to pair with it for the NostrArtstr NOV 2024 Art Challenge: Play with Color, check out these online color palette generators. All of them have fun tools to play with without having to create an account and sign in.

I use these on a desktop on a web browser, so your mobile experience will likely be similar, but different.

1. https://coolors.co/ - hit the space bar to cycle the colors. Roll over a color strip to see icons of what you can do. Choose the Lock icon to keep that color, then you can hit the space bar to find other colors you like.

2. https://colors.muz.li/ - pick a color from the swatches, type in a color name or code, or even upload a photo to make those colors into a palette.

3. https://mycolor.space/ - Go with the random color they give you, or click on it to choose your own color, then hit the Generate button to see the gradients and palettes it created

If you like a simple doodle…

NostrArtstr — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 23:46:54 GMT

If you like a simple doodle style of illustration, Johanna Basford (who got the world into adult coloring books) has several free downloads on her blog:

https://www.johannabasford.com/downloads/

I really like her Small Victories set.

Great, easy way to participate in the November Art Challenge if you want to download some illustrations and just color.

Other fun options ...
- pick one illustration and color it only in a single color
- use that same illustration and color it again, this time with a different single color

If you’d like to see how one person did a single color challenge, check out this video playlist from Ten Hundred: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjvuq1J91QkYE2Nv-QQopXXv0mPKsagKh

He painted some awesome stuff using shades and tones of a single color. There are 4 videos: pink, green, blue, and yellow.

And if you thought TurdSoup.com gives you interesting random word prompts, this guy got his prompts from doing an Instagram Live, so yeah, lots of stuff going on in his paintings.

Ready for the NostrArtstr November Art…

NostrArtstr — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 22:33:10 GMT

Ready for the NostrArtstr November Art Challenge?

This month is about playing with color.

If you want a 30 day goal, spend 5 days with a color. Basics are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

Or pick your own colors, if you prefer pink, brown, turquoise, black, white, or peridot.

It’s your art challenge, make it something you want to accomplish.

I’m going to be swatching out tubes of watercolor and …. doing something with the swatches. Not sure yet what.

I’m more of a binger than a daily person, so my goal is 30 bits of art by the end of the month. Given that the day is half over, I’m going to clean my art desk and start swatching tomorrow.

Free tracker available at https://www.nostrartstr.com/ if you want one to print and keep visible during the month as a bit of a poke … I mean, motivation. ;)

Please use #nostrartstrNov2024 if you share your art - I’d love to see what you create.

NostrArtstr — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 16:08:22 GMT

I've added 6 word lists to the Turd Soup Marketplace: Red Things, Orange Things, etc., for the November NostrArtstr Challenge: Play with Color.

https://turdsoup.com/ is a random word generator created by Puzzl35 - very cool stuff where you can create your own word lists or import word lists from their Marketplace. If you get stuck on what to draw/paint/create, playing with random words can help kickstart your creativity.

- My word lists are listed as Rustypuppy in the Turd Soup Marketplace

- Click on the really long gray number to see the words in any list and to Import that word list so Turd Soup can use it as a source for a random word

The “Ultimate Puff Puff Paint Word List” by The Bitcoin Painter and the “Random Nouns” by Noshole are great lists of stuff that could inspire your art, so be sure to check them out.

#pastchallenges - as of this date

My first art challenge on Nostr was November, 2023. I used the hashtag #nostrichnovember on my Rustypuppy account (https://rustypuppy.npub.pro/tag/nostrichnovember/) to create French Fashion Nostriches of the 1920s.

In 2024, I started this account, NostrArtstr, with the November Challenge: Play With Color, using the hashtag #nostrartstrNov2024

Here’s a 30 day tracker…

NostrArtstr — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 20:55:30 GMT

Here’s a 30 day tracker if you'd like a way to mark your progress for the NostrArtstr November Challenge: Play with Color. You can use the slots as each day of the month, or the number of things you create.

I’m swatching out a watercolor set I have, using the following colors for 5 days each, to create a 30 day challenge: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.

For me, I’m not going to be doing one a day, more likely small batches throughout the month. My goal, by the end of the month, is 30 little pieces of … art something, based on the swatches. SO I’m using the tracker to account for quantity, not day of the month.

If you don’t want to do 30 days, you can still use the tracker, just blacken out slots until it’s what you want it to be.

Set a goal for the end of the month. Even if you don’t make it, you’ll likely create more art than if you hadn’t taken this challenge.
