Monochromatic Orange Art Journal Page
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
— Kandinsky
The fourth spread in my Monochromatic Series, and the colour is happy orange.
I’m not sure if it is true but I heard that orange is the colour of creativity. When we see this colour it would makes us more creative… it might be true. At least I know for sure that it is a juicy happy colour. I’ve also read that it stimulates activity and appetite, and encourages socialization! Isn’t it cool what colours can do, hehe.
Orange makes me thirsty for orange juice. I can even smell oranges when I see the colour. Another strong image that comes up when I think about this colour are the smiling Buddhist monks I’ve met, all wrapped in orange cloth. I also think of henna, curry, saffron and other spices…
This is the orange spread in my Art Journal:
If you mix red and yellow you’ve got yourself a pretty orange. Try it out and let me know how it goes.
Here are some more details of this spread:
From my watercolours, mixes and hues.
Orange juice and hot sunshine…
Orange flowers that are almost yellow…
…and yarn scale from yellow to deep orange.

I love orange. One of my favorites. And it plays so brilliantly with turquoise!
Beautiful work, Hanna! Makes me want to play in my journal today!
I’ve always considered yellow as the colour of creativity.
Aniway, I really love your monochromatic pages! :)
Awesome! This is just so cheerful, Hanna. I willbe going upstairs in a bit to play with some color!
i love your journal! especially that little boy humor cartoon : D
very cute!
Oh! Juicy is right. I love ORANGE! and all of the many forms it takes between yellow and red. and I love the Kandinsky quote.
Orange, ooh, orange, one of my favorites and mixed with a little pink and some orange red, what more can you ask for – oh, turquoise… xox Corrine
I too love orange – especially with turquoise and blue. These monochromatic pages are such fun, Hanna. Soaking yourself in a color and all it inspires is a great idea.
I love your color pages, could you show the steps of how you make one, I think that would be quite interesting.
this page is so vibrant! i would love to get inside your head while you create – you must do a video tutorial someday. (or maybe you have – i am not always on top of things like i’d like to be.) :-)
Fantastic looking page. I used to detest orange, but in recent years have come to embrace it as a really exciting and sexy colour. ;-)
i could eat those pages!
i bet there would be
vitamins for my very soul!
