Lately I’ve been doing a lot more reading (with a hot cup of tea — it’s cold out there!) and less sketching, but I managed to play around with some palettes inspired by other artists. I even bought a few new colors to try out (especially when found in smaller sample-size 5ml tubes). If I already had a similar color, I made substitutions. This is one reason I love collecting Art Toolkit palettes so much — it’s easy to switch out the magnetized pans whenever I get a whim to try a different combination!
The first palette shown is inspired by Jill Gustavis (seen here). I love her idea of sky colors above, earthy colors below. My substitutes include cerulean blue chromium, potter’s pink, volcano red, quin. magenta, nickel azo yellow, and raw umber.
The next set from Robin Lee Carlson (find her work here) includes fuchsite genuine, a subtle green that intrigues me. I especially love Robin’s nature studies! I substituted quin. red.
The third set was found several years ago on The Animated Woman’s Instagram account, when she was sketching with a water-soluble Elegant Writer calligraphy pen. These colors compliment the colors that can be bled out with a damp brush. The colors look wintery to me, to go along with these colder-than-normal days.
