001_when I’m feeling blue


When I was very young, during art classes I always used blue crayon for water. (and yeah I used the same bloody blue for sky as well.) It’s funny that we associate blue colour with water when in reality it’s hardly blue at all. It’s kind of ok to use blue for sea because the real thing is sort of blue but kids also use blue for water in canals and rivers. When we grow older we learn that the blue colour of the sea turns darker when it gets deeper. We also learn that in some places like Maldives or Mauritius, there are many shades of blue. Kids, don’t try to paint the sea in Maldives because you won’t get it right…
