 I just got it last week so weI've been interested in color for many years but sometimes, especially with acrylic paints, I have trouble combining different colors into a pleasing palette. It's easy when just using analogous colors (colors adjacent on a color wheel). Or, using tried and true color schemes like triads, etc. But I always felt there was more to choosing a palette and thanks to my sister-in-law, also an artist, she turned me on the this "Color Box" by Sarah Renae Clark.
I just got it last week so my plan is to swatch all my acrylic paints (currently they are swatched by brand, not by color) onto cards so I can quickly find the colors I need to create these palettes. Even though I have a LOT of paints, I already know I don't have the exact colors I need. This means I need to figure out how to mix my paints to achieve the result I'm looking for. So this will be a challenge! Something that I'm up for! If I have the courage, I will post my efforts next week.

Enjoy reading your blog. I seem to follow some of the artist that you have recently noted. At almost 80, my happy place is in my studio just “ playing” and trying new technique on my gelli plate and mix media books plus weekly stitch meditations.

Hi Pam, Sounds like we are on the same artistic path these days! Love to see some of your work. You can email me at carol@caroloannwaugh.com since it's hard to have a conversation on a blog! Leave a Reply. |
