  • Colours for October

    Four new colours for this month’s creative practice.

    MOSTO The dusky plum of grape must fermenting after the vendimia, the last of the harvest turning to wine.
    OLOROSO The deep amber-mahogany of an aged Oloroso, the sherry that gives Jerez its name.
    MEMBRILLO Quince, the orange-gold fruit ripening in gardens this month.
    ACEITUNA The green-grey of olives darkening on the branch as the October harvest begins.

    Use them however you like. A wash of background colour, a single brushstroke, a filter, a frame. The prompts this month and every month can be found here.

  • Colours for July

    Four new colours for this month’s creative practice.

    GIRASOL named after the sunflower fields that fill the Andalucían countryside in July.
    CANDELA Spanish for flame or firelight, capturing the heat and energy of the month.
    HIGUERA the fig tree, in fruit right now, with flesh this exact deep dusty rose.
    PISCINA simply “swimming pool,” that bright artificial turquoise so appealing in the summer months.

    Use them however you like. A wash of background colour, a single brushstroke, a filter, a frame. The prompts this month and every month can be found here.
