I hate to admit it, but I have stopped being an avid reader over the years. I kind of lost interest in books for a while (thanks college) but being with Brock has renewed my interest. He always tells me about books he's read and it inspires me to be on the lookout for some good reads. It also helps that I have a Kindle Fire, so I can browse through thousands of books every now and then. Unfortunately the only recent books I've read are The Fault in Our Stars and Gone Girl. TFIOS nails had already been done, and there wasn't really anything I could depict from Gone Girl besides frustration and bewilderment ;) So I decided to go with something with vibrant colors that everyone could recognize.
Enter: A Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
This is one of the most colorful books I remember from my childhood. The abstract painting of the caterpillar and alllll the food he ate gave me plenty to work with. I don't think you can go wrong with choosing colors, almost every color was used! I don't even have a complete list of polishes I used. I also used acrylic paints. I think I just grabbed what looked similar to the illustrations for the books.
