I LOVE this idea!! I NEVER could get a color wheel straight in my head. BUT this is a GREAT way to do it. LOVE watching you!

@danisehetland3576 8 месяцев назад

My favorite Sarah tip for choosing color - look to nature (or photos of nature). ❤ Nice to see Ginger Cat again! 🐈

@Vera-y8m 8 месяцев назад

Yes this has been very useful Sarah, thank you. It is very empowering when you teach us how to approach difficult aspects of our hobby with confidence. I used to always buy kits or at least copy colours used by designers because I didn't trust my ability to pair up colours that would work together. I absolutely love colours and know what I like in a scene or picture so I'm going to have a ball now. ❤

This is SOOO incredibly BRILLIANT and HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU so so so much!!! I sometimes enjoy coloring in adult coloring books, in addition to my intermittent (beginner) needlework (I am a serial hobbyist or multi-crafter who doesn’t do any one thing for long or very well😂😂), so when this video came up in my RU-vid feed I was thinking of my struggle to decide on coloring palettes… Please be encouraged that your method/process is also helpful to crafters and creatives who may never handle a needle or piece of thread!! Thanks so much for sharing & inspiring!! Greetings from Pennsylvania USA! 🤗

As a graphic designer, I definitely use this! Seed catalogs are another fun way to pick colors! Especially if it has heirloom veggies and flowers. PS: Hi Ginger Cat!

@lindasalmon6074 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Sarah, this is a brilliant little tutorial. A really fun way to choose a colour pallet.

@pilabuenaventura6096 Месяц назад

Photos of nature is one of the keys to choose color scheme. Very helpful for me as a beginner. Thank you so much for this. ❤🤗

@fiberjazz 8 месяцев назад

I love sparkly, so the Moline Etoile floss is always a favorite, but - oh my - the Anchor Linen color palette that you put together for the sunset in Mykinos is simply perfect! Love, love, love! ❤ Nice to see Ginger Cat, who I hope is having a good start to 2024. 😀

You removed the intimidation and illuminated the inspiration!🥰

@Faithnofear2022 8 месяцев назад

Great resource ideas for inspiration. I think sometimes we get so caught up in a limited palette, that if we look around, we can expand and create more intense and beautiful pieces. I appreciate your instruction and encouragement. Thank you from Ontario, Canada

I hesitantly clicked the video because I expected tips that wouldn't be very helpful to me, but this is so simple and genious and I somehow never thought of it myself!

@carolreid9755 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Sarah and Jonathan for the video and hello ginger cat. This was so useful. I am about to undertake a slow stitch project with no safety net , so it will be no pattern or following anyone's colours . There will be a theme, I was really worried about colour never mind the design. The idea of taking a picture and matching colours is so simple but ingenious ,one less thing to worry about.

@kathleenhaas4998 7 месяцев назад

Loved this video. The Anchor threads are so beautiful. I still need to get some... thanks for the reminder. The front door and sunset colors were so beautiful. As was the Greece choices. Great lesson. Thank you

@Jan-SewHappy 7 месяцев назад

I never would have thought of doing that…Thanks for your inspiration!! I love watching your videos😊💗🪡🧵

@Rosemary-go9wj 8 месяцев назад

I choose colour pallets in a similar way when making quilts. The first fabric I choose will be a multicoloured fabric that I really like, and then I choose the other colours for the quilt from colours in that first fabric. This way I'm confident that the colours will all look good together.

@rebeccat5738 7 месяцев назад

That was really great Sarah!. I love colour and pretty colourschemes, so to be able to choose your own in such a straightforward way is just brilliant!, and I particularly liked how you got the basic colours together and then started adding extras that 'went' with them. As always you give me the confidence to think I can do these things, so thank you

@danisehetland3576 8 месяцев назад

This is brilliant!!! Great Idea! Definitely going to give this a go. I have a tote with like 200 magazines in it, this is going to be fun. Hugs GinaB 💕😍💖🥰

@londongael414 8 месяцев назад

Excellent tip. It's also good to look at the proportions of colours used in the inspiration image. Often the brighter ones will be used in the smallest amount, and the more muted or neutrals in the largest amount. That doesn't mean you have to stick to that, of course!

@dawnagoad9745 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic suggestions. I will be using this

@norapeterson6331 8 месяцев назад

I have had to do stuff like this before because I really do stick to my usual colors, as you had mentioned. I didn't think I would like the combos, but I ended up liking the different combos that I have found. Great video! ❤❤❤

Personal comment if I may... happy your bangs are shorter or curled so your eyes are free or hairs...(lol). And love your video using already existing beautiful paintings for inspiration. Thank you so much for all your teaching.

@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 8 месяцев назад

Yes, me too...taking "Mom" liberties...

@alisoncaputo4724 8 месяцев назад

A really usefull idea with the post cards and paint charts, thank you. Plus I must have missed the silk shading mushroom seen in your free designs, one technique I would like to have a go at.

@KC-ku9dq 8 месяцев назад

Very informative, thank you. I never thought of gathering colors in this way. ☺

@expressivedepressive3456 8 месяцев назад

like with the matisse, this idea is so simple i feel like i should have thought of it before, and yet it takes a master to identify the nuances of how to optimise a technique. thanks for the inspiration!

@6862211 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Sarah…I started to buy some linen thread…should it be waxed or unwaxed?

@seleneyue 5 месяцев назад

I think it's a sunrise! Sunsets are a lot more orange; sunrises tend to skew more blue/violet. It's like the visual version of the doppler effect, that's why stars with a red shift (longer wavelengths) are going away from us and stars with a blue shift (shorter wavelengths) are moving towards earth. As the light waves travel they get stretched or compressed, making the wavelengths longer and shorter.

We have a ginger cat, too. He's long-haired, 20 pounds, and named Gomez. He's dumb as a bag of rocks but takes a good photo. We call him a Himbo.

Hi Sarah a question for you, once you have chosen a color scheme how do you determine which colors should be used next to each other? I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Or do I even need to worry about that once I use my color wheel to choose my colors. I hope I am making sense? Thank you for your video it has given me something to think about.

You can use a color wheel and the paint swatches. Choose one color and then do the same level across the swatch color level. Not sure what you call the paint sample cards in the outside the US.

@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 8 месяцев назад

Same..
