Just Released-My New Book: “Watermelon Blue: Re-thinking your Relationship with Colour!”

Renée says: “Watermelon Blue is an inspiring, rule-breaking celebration of colour and creativity. Through personal stories, artist profiles, and vibrant imagery, Renée Blackwell invites readers to challenge traditional colour theory and explore unexpected combinations with joy and freedom. Written for artists, designers, and anyone drawn to colour, this beautifully crafted book offers fresh perspectives, creative prompts, and a liberating call to “colour outside the lines.” Whether you’re looking for inspiration or a deeper connection to your creative instincts, Watermelon Blue is your guide to living and creating colourfully.

What this book is:

A guide to freeing yourself from the constraints of traditional colour rules and reigniting your creative spirit through colour experimentation.

What this book is not:

This book is not an in-depth study of theory, science, myth, or conventional colour psychology. There are countless excellent books and resources that dive into the science of colour, and while understanding the basics—like the colour wheel, harmony, and complementary schemes—has its place, those rules are just the starting point. Once you’ve learned why they exist, it’s time to go beyond them. Once you understand the foundation, it’s time to break free and explore. This book is here to ignite that journey!

Watermelon Blue will be printed in both hardbound (limited edition) and soft cover
