COULD LACK OF COLOUR BE A FACTOR IN DEPRESSION?

No, it was a one off in acrylics. I tried water colours but had to pack all my stuff away and then lost interest.

@Pearl Do you think you'll start paining again some time?

@marks So does the date 6.99 refer to the month and year in which you did it?

Do you like colour in your home? Here in the UK the modern trend is for neutral colours in the home rather than colours. And I have been wondering if this trend could be a factor in the rising cases of depression as people life in grey rooms with grey carpets and black furniture.

I like colour and couldn't think of living in a room that was devoid of colour; I would find it very depressing, but lots of people prefer the greys.

I most certainly feel that color makes a big difference in your state of mind. I doubt very few have every walked into a very colorful beach house without a smile. @Pearl I hate to correct you but your misspelling color.

Probably not farouk. I was just learning to mix the colours when it all had to be packed away and then I got discouraged.

Yes.

Much love!

I painted mostly in oils, I tried acrylic for a while, but I like oils. And beaches accounted for 3/4 of my paintings.

Much love!

Well it's the correct spelling this side of the Atlantic where English originated.

@Pearl Well, I guess the person needs to have significant leisure time first....

Sometimes if the aim eventually is to sell in commercial galleries, of course, what might have begun as leisure time can become work time. (A similar comment could be made about artists who aim at working in tattoo parlors.)

I did this on my PC

Touché. (as you can see the French made a few contributions to our language also)

Acrylics are the most user friendly paints . I used to sketch , draw , paint and etc in art for years dear sister .
By user friendly , i mean if you make a mistake , Let it dry and paint right over it .

And in France I believe they have le weekend. Language crosses borders and is constantly being tweaked.

I hadn't even noticed, but most of us make typos occasionally.
