Art Making Red

Over the last week I've posted yellow, green and sky blue items that I found in my attic "studio" and today it is the turn of red.

I thought it might be difficult to find much red as it's not one of my favourite colours for painting. However, as usual, I surprised myself and was able to find a good assortment.

Vintage maps and papers are a common staple for my art work.

I had completely forgotten I had the watercolour art pencils. I'd like to use those again so will need to put them somewhere more prominent!

The charcoal pencils were a free gift and I have never used them, nor I am likely to, so they should be a good candidate in the next round of decluttering.

Probably the most interesting item in this selection is the roll of wire mesh. I have no idea what's it's proper use it. I bought it, along with a blue equivalent when it was in the sale in an art shop.

I use it in my mixed media work but am curious as to what it's true function is. If anyone knows, please let me know in the comments. 😊
