Palette Parts

 

After a big year of painting I have been thinking about colour mixing and what I learned. In a previous blog I wrote about my old methods that I used for over twenty years of painting. The pandemic years have really given me time to think and work on the art hobby, one of the few silver linings in the whole thing, and I feel like my understanding of colour mixing has improved a lot. The website Handprint.com was also a big help in deciphering the mysteries of colour vision, theory, and watercolour paint attributes. In this palette cleanser the main goal was to clean my palette which was a salty, muddy mess after doing a bunch of location paintings recently. Perhaps soon I can write an update to my thoughts on colour mixing, because I don't want to keep any secrets.
