triad pyramids
Today the electrician had our power turned off while they upgrade the meter, which meant the water from our well was also turned off. However, they are out of Houston and don’t seem to know how rural electric cooperatives work — and they had failed to line up someone from the co-op to be onsite to unlock the box.
So we waited and waited . . . . I spent the time painting this new-to-me pyramid form of color chart, which I learned about from Greenleaf and Blueberry’s blog. I can’t afford to buy their gorgeous handmade watercolors but the blog is full of great information.
It’s a good thing I had just refilled the teapot because I had to change my water a lot!

I like the pyramid color chart! I am going to need to do try this! I also enjoyed looking around Greenleaf and Blueberry's blog! Their watercolors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love how the pyramid looks but penciling in those hexagons was tricky!
DeleteDoing this exercise made me see how the 3 neutrals I use most — an earth yellow, an earth brown, and a dark gray — fit into the overall palette. I choose to carry them as a convenience but now I know I could mix them all if I needed to.
