Paula Borchardt

Here’s another recent series of mine - my Tucson Color Journal. Every day for a year I painted 1 color/day that represented something from nature I saw in or from my yard. Here are colorful April; dry & hot June; monsoon-rainy July; & subdued December.

You can see the whole year at paulaborchardt.com/illustratio

Tucson Color Journal ~ April including lots of bright colors from spring wildflowers
Tucson Color Journal ~ June - showing more muted colors due to the hot and dry weather
Tucson Color Journal ~ July with more saturated colors due to the summer monsoon rains that usually start in early July
Tucson Color Journal ~ December with more muted colors than other times of the year

@paulaborchardt Oh that's beautiful!

I've been keeping a track of my daily colours this year - written descriptions only up to this point - and was wondering how to make them into something visual. I'd imagined just colour blocks but I like your inclusion of some text too.

I can't quite tell what you used to create the range of colours - watercolour pencils? The thought of mixing up perhaps 365 different colours of paint is a bit daunting for me!
