Colour palette
I wanted to share my research and experimentation with you. So many times in workshops students have asked me the differences between the various blacks that are available. [Black Gesso is another option]. The best way to "see" it for yourself is to play around with all your blacks on a test sheet so you can compare the differences.
I thought this chart might be helpful for you.
I took this photo in August at Cannon Beach, Oregon.
Oh, to see those lush colours right now!
...and then partnered with the color palette - what a neat tool!
Create a color palette based on an image at Color palette generator .
This neat free to use tool is created by web developer Jeff Minard, the CPG analyzes the colors in an image and then produces a palette based on it.
I read about this the colour palette generator at the blog "More ways to waste time" by Leah Hennen. You can see several examples on her blog.
