Description

leveled up my art tools and made "slugs palette v1" to commemorate the first day with them. base layer is a collage of different locations of personal significance on Mount Evans. spent 100+ days boulder at the spots represented. -Lincoln Lake is legit. some of my favorite days in the mountains were spent there. -South Chicago trail is where climbers hit to the most high traffic areas on Mt. Evans. still 3 miles round trip to the climbing with your gear. - photo of me at Lincoln Lake - abyss lake is where some of the highest elevation climbing in the lower 48 exists. - last and hidden from the palette of colors, idaho springs cemetery. passed it so many times that i've stopped on occasion for a snack and to contemplate my burial there :) - slugs palette isn't some random creation! i've played with color palettes for years for personal enjoyment and in my professional career. breakdown: - brown that is reminiscent of shoulder season conditions. when mud is more moisturous and lighter in color. - green that doesn't immediately signal a relationship with another native species. i went for a mix between fern, evergreen, and lime to get a color familiar to me, yet abstract and hard to place in the outdoors. - blue the blends the idea of blue bird sky conditions with high alpine lakes hues. again, something that looks native to nature, yet isn't. - the off-white is extra special. s/o to virgil a major influence on how i approach subtlety and hommage. moreover, the tone is grey/white as that's how snow really looks in the alpine. i expect to evolve slugs palette with different versions...but the core colors will never change. thats a fact.
