Look at all the pretty colors!

Since I'm not going to show you my works-in-progress, I figured I'd show you what else I'm "working" on.

This is my watercolor mixing chart. Since I bought new watercolors and since I haven't created one of these in about 10 years, I figured I'd test out the color blends. The diagonal down the center is the pure, from-the-tube colors (although I did get my red a bit light, since it looks like pink). The grid has the labels of each color down the side, and where the two colors cross, they get mixed together. Usually I stop at the mixed triangle, but I'm trying something new on the right and I'm adding white gouache to each of the mixes, which softens/desaturates each color slightly from just pure pigment. The full outer row that is complete is the mirror mix to the full outer row on the left, and so on, once I have all the colors mixed

When I start working on the color portion of each of my pieces, I will have this grid nearby as a reference to help guide me to the best colors I need to achieve the emotional resonance I'm going for.
