I made a template of squares that fits a watercolor notebook, and I often make a chart, just for practice, or to work out a specific palette I'm interested in using.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-44963009535238581392014-02-16T17:24:39.294-03:302014-02-16T17:24:39.294-03:30I agree Shevaun, there is a beauty in them - and a...I agree Shevaun, there is a beauty in them - and a satisfaction in completing them too.<br /><br />So pleased you looked in can come along for the blog ride. :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-80548911386301855572014-02-16T17:15:32.495-03:302014-02-16T17:15:32.495-03:30I love colour charts.

As I work mainly in watercolour, I find it fascinating to see how an oil painting colour chart is made. Yes, it can be time consuming and perhaps a little tedious, but they are perfect for those days when you're feeling uninspired.

You will really get a good sense of what your preferred colours do and how they mix with other hues. There are often delightful surprises as to what colours can be created.<br /><br />I'd love to see the charts you create.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-621993222632625132014-02-16T15:46:47.902-03:302014-02-16T15:46:47.902-03:30I think I like this idea.

I've never done any charts apart from a grey scale chart but I use colours like Naples yellow and Venetian red a lot which often don't do what I expect of them to. It would be wise to be prepared!<br />Thanks Jeanette.theartistsdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226003809268986249noreply@blogger.com
