 Hi guys, how are you? We are here for another video for my creative year. Let me just get my journal ready. Okay, our topic this month is reduce, reuse and recycle. And the prompt for this week is reduce. So of course you could take this literally and as we discussed in my review video, really only keeping what you're gonna use, recycling what you can, reusing what you can, reducing how much you're keeping. But what if we took it less literally? What if we take this month's prompt or one third of the topic, the reduce part and reduce or limit the items we're gonna create our page with? For this week one, I'm going to choose to reduce or limit my colors. So other than black and white, which you can do, I want you to pick one other color. Maybe really challenge yourself and pick your least favorite color. That would be a challenge. All right, so I'm going to grab my basket here. I've got my little jar of white paint. As I've said before, this is a few different brands, tubes and jars that were almost empty. I just started dumping them in here together and kind of mix them up. And it's kind of like off whitish, but we're gonna call that my white. And I have black, do I have black here? I have black. And let's pick one other color. Now, when you pick your color, I'm gonna let you use all varying shades and tones of that color. But if you pick, say, orange, that doesn't mean you can use blue. You can only use orange. I'm gonna pick green. And I think for this week, I'm going to pull out, I have olive, evergreen. I think there's another green in here. Maybe not. Oh, no, there's lime in here somewhere. Let's see. I gotta find it, hang on. There it is, lime. It's gonna be a challenge. You just create something with green, but we'll see. And I don't think those three greens actually really go together, but we're gonna take our page here. And I'm gonna think about my greens and I'm going to pull a few things and start to create a page. Like in the last couple of months, we are going to build on our page as the month progresses and each prompt comes out. So for right now, we're gonna just do a little bit of work, limiting our color palette, and then next week we will go with that prompt and continue to build onto our page. So I'm gonna pull a few things and I'll be right back. I think that's good for now and that may be a good page on its own. We're gonna see in the next couple of weeks what I can add to it that I like without ruining it. But limit yourself this week or reduce your palette this week to one color. You can use black and white, but one other color and see what you come up with. I think this is a lot of fun. I hope that you are enjoying the process of my creative year and I can't wait to see what the other teachers bring you this week. They are really all bringing their best work forward and providing great content. If you're not a member of the Facebook group for my creative year and you wanna be and you wanna see all the lessons and have the community and get all the links in one place in the easy spot, the link for the Facebook group is in my link tree, list of links, the link for that list is in the description below on every single video of mine on my channel. So I would love to see what you all can do with this this week. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please leave them here on the video and don't forget the most important thing. Go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
