I scanned the colour charts for my new book myself on my Canon scanner. I didn't clean them up or adjust them and they look ok though not a perfect match...
But I also took them to my wonderful printer Fine Art Imaging and had them professionally scanned using a large format camera, then colour matched and cleaned up. What a difference the professional touch makes :-)
The new book, titled 'Ultimate mixing palette: a world of colours', has 49 charts and two colour wheels to show every possible two colour combination and the most useful three colour mixing combinations of my 15 colour 'Ultimate Mixing Palette'. Each chart has additional notation and cross referencing.
You can see many more colour charts done using a huge range of colours here. These are also available as a book, which has been updated with renewed images. The idea of my new book is that it is very easy to use the same paints or similar pigments to reproduce the same hues. This is a wonderful colour mixing reference :-)
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
