Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.

Colour Studies 2 and 3
I have created two more colour studies using water colour base and soft and oil pastel over the top. These give a good textural effect and colours can be combined, drawn over each other to create other colours eg. voilet and light grey creates a pleasing lavender effect.
One study focusses on the colours in the moss from light blue/green to dark purple/green. It also experiments with the lighter pink/peach/yellow hues of the top of the rocks.
The other study looks at the ochres and browns of the darker rock areas.
