Whether you are coloring pages in this book, selecting the
clothes you are wearing today, or decorating your house or
apartment, colors help you set a mood or tell a story. For
example, bright colors are usually exciting, dark colors are
stormy or dramatic, and pale colors are gentle.
If you’re not sure what colors to use when you are coloring
(or working on other projects), a color wheel can help you
find the right colors for you.

COLOR BLENDING AND MIXING
Even if you have a lot of colored pencils or paints, you may not have the exact
color you are looking for. For colored pencils, try using a blending stick also
called a stump or tortillion, or try using one color on top of the other to create
just what you want. With paint, you can mix colors together. When you are
blending or mixing colors for the first time, try them out on a piece of scratch
paper until you get just want you want.

Meet the Artist
Samarra Khaja makes happy, beautiful things inspired by her
love of travel, local markets, food and culture, nostalgia,
and her young sons. She revels in experimenting with the
seemingly usual, turning it on its head and presenting it in
a new unexpected light. She’s also known for spending
less time on her hair and more time on her drawing.
Living in New York City, she has worked across
disciplines as a designer, photographer, art director,
and illustrator for the likes of The New York Times,
The Guggenheim, Bliss (spa and skin care), Time
magazine, Victoria’s Secret, and Cirque du Soleil—all in
her signature whimsical style. She also designs textiles
that mix contemporary design with a cheerful irreverence.
They’re bright, bold, and best of all, playful. Look for her
fabric designs in shops worldwide and find fun projects to
make in her new sewing project book, Sew Adorkable.
