Destination 02: Iceland - Vision Board & Color Palette
Iceland Week 1: Vision Board & Color Palette
I start by storyboarding my ideas on Pinterest. I have a Pinterest board for my art inspiration including landscapes, textures, colors, textiles, portraits that may inspire my art. I also create a Pinterest board for my family projects which includes art projects for the kids, photos to draw in their journals, and recipes of local cuisine. I find it helpful to print out my favorite images from my art board and collage it in my journal. This helps me to create a color palette that to me represents the essence of the country.
Iceland has landscapes that are nothing but majestic. It is no wonder it has been one of the top destinations for travelers in recent years. The greens, blues, and grays are apparent in almost all the scenery. You can really feel the depth of the country through these landscapes. The mosses and the northern lights almost take on a life form in themselves with neon and vibrant colors in contrast with the deep, dark tones of the soil and rock. I get a sense of solitude when I look at photographs of Iceland. I know the cities are bustling with life but the landscapes seem so untouched. Lets dive in and start creating!
