Sometimes the theories about colour simply raise more questions than they answer. And many artists seek to move beyond basic theory to create a series of work in their own colour-story or colour-style.
ColourJot is here with a novel solution! Our templates will help you create attractive and useful references in your art journal to catalogue and compare colour mixing experiments. ColourJot art journals will become invaluable resource to help you select unique colour combinations to capture subject matter, locations, time of day, mood and more.
In a simple process, we’ll discovered 99 variations using just 3 colours.
“But, which three colours?” you may ask.
Here are some examples of my favourite colour-mixing discoveries:
- There are no neutrals in the ColourJot sets because we learn to make browns and earthtones in every colour grid.
- Green and crimson often makes a better purple than most blue/red combinations.
- Violet and Emerald can make a blue.
- Pink and yellow can make a red.
- Green and orange can make yellow ochre.
Option 1: Use ColourJot 18-Colour Sets
ColourJot has pre-selected a special selection of 18 Rosa Watercolours and curate them into six sets of 3-colours each. There are both primary and secondary colour mixing sets and no repeats. Run each set through the ColourJot colour wheel and colour grid to create some surprising results and yield lots of “WOW!” and “AHHA” moments along the way.
