I love color. It is really my driving force. I have to learn how to use it to its potential. I haven't used enough neutrals in the past and I think it is important to use them to make the colors really "pop". The learning continues, and it always will. That is the beauty of art and being an artist. We keep learning. Thank-you “color-chart”. I love color. It is really my driving force. I have to learn how to use it to its potential.

But it kept my interest. It felt good to finish it. I have it hanging on the wall next to my desk/art table. I like to look at it. I'm such a color person! It was a lot of work.

It's beautiful in and of itself. Congratulation on doing it--it's the sort of thing I always want to do, but never seem to get to--it's a lot of work! Wow, what a great chart! It’s beautiful in and of itself. Congratulation on doing it–it’s the sort of thing I always want to do, but never seem to get to–it’s a lot of work!

I have tried acrylic several times, and I just cannot get the hang of it. Maybe it is my choice of subject. I so want to be able to do acrylic abstracts. Well, someday maybe. I began in watercolor, so am not so afraid of it. Lately though, my watercolors have not been so good. So, I'm having fun with pastels for the time being. I don't want it to get to the point where it is a chore. genxster,

I did a similar chart, using acrylics, many years ago in a painting class. When the instructor introduced this technique. I complained about doing it, but when I got home I did it again. I still have them. I'm going to do this again but with watercolor. Maybe working with them and doing this kind of practice will help me get over my watercolor anxieties. Thanks for being here!

I'm not sure I have the patience to do all of my colors though. I tend to just mix as I go and never remember how I got what I did. I feel like I've really accomplished something if the combination isn't muddy<G> Anyway, I do think it is s good tool. I'm just kind of a lazy person when it comes to this kind of thing. hehehe And yes, it is fun to break the rules now and again. Heather,
