I am now working on a smaller mixing book using just 14 different colours, to go with my recommended watercolour beginner or limited palette set of colours.
I am a watercolour artist, passionate about colour. I have been painting professionally for over 40 years and love to share my discoveries, so I have created this 'Colourpedia - a swatching Wikipedia' to quote one of my YouTube followers. You can see more of my work, links to my online courses, and many resources and tutorials on my website www.janeblundellart.com. You can also find me on Facebook at Jane Blundell Artist, and on Instagram as Janeblundellart, and on YouTube as Jane Blundell
I would love to get the limited palette mixing book! This is just a visual feast for the eyes, and a visual learning tool about color!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy. My plan is to publish the next book as a lower cost version, perhaps through Amazon for free shipping, and also as an eBook. I'll update it here when it is ready. It will have all 14 colours mixed with each other, then each mixed purple with each yellow, each mixed orange with each blue and so on. And a couple of colour wheels! Should be fairly comprehensive but only 25 pages or so so it can be very portable.
DeleteThanks! I will order it!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Hope you find it very helpful :-)
DeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog and have grabbed this ebook the moment i saw it. It is a WONDERFUL resource! It will save me a fortune in paint and time and will teach me exactly what I want to learn. Thank you so much for making this available at such low cost.
That's great Helen. Not every colour mix is useful and this book has so many of them that you can see at a glance which may be good for you. Please note - I used Aureolin for some of the mid yellow mixes but have since found out is if not a recommended colour. Use Hansa Yellow Medium DS, Winsor Yellow, Azo Yellow or even cadmium yellow if you like opaque yellows, instead.
DeleteJust got it! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHope you find it very useful Carol :-)
DeleteI downloaded the e-book sample from iBooks but I cannot get it to display one page at a time no matter what I do. I really do not want two pages displayed side by side and resizing doesn't really help since I'd have to do that every time I slide to the next page. It would be more helpful to be able to flip through one page at a time. Is this just a problem with the sample or is the e-book created this way? I may have to go with a hard copy rather than the e-book.
