It's pretty remarkable how adding a 4th unifying color produced a much more vibrant and interesting color wheel. Sometimes, creative blocks bring new ideas to the surface. This could be a very useful tool for planning color palettes to improve color harmony in paintings.
I love the idea of a color mixing sketchbook! It would make a great reference for actual compositions. You might even come up with ideas while you're doing it! Like, "Ooo! That mix would be perfect for a *x,y,z*!"
Hi, Jules! I see you brought home a little sun from your vacation... your hands are tanned 😊 this is good. I've thinking about sharing with you an experience I made some time ago, when I mixed Dragon's Blood, Pbr25 with various granulating colours in my stash and it made the most beautiful mixes I enjoyed doing in a while. I used a Maimeriblu tube, it's an Italian watercolour, but I'm sure your favourite brand carries a similar colour also. Maybe you're in the mood to try your hand with it too... kisses all the way from Brazil to you ❤
I enjoy creating mixes in my sketchbooks, and then I can go back and study them later. If I do mixes on random pieces of paper, they get lost and forgotten. I like to create paintings from limited palettes of 4 or 5 colours and create colour wheels to analyze which set of colours is best. Posts on your community page would interest me more than newsletters.
@@sararamer-dean7846 thanks for the feedback!! I also like doing that kind of testing of different palettes, in the past I've done them on loose sheets but then put them in display binders, which also works nicely 😊
If you want to do a newsletter, by all means do one, but keep in mind these little spells of low creativity you're already dealing with (as everyone does) and also the conflicting demands for your time that already exist. Write at least three newsletters ahead of your planned "Send" dates so that a distracted phase or hectic time doesn't make doing a newsletter a torment then. If you've got three ready to go out and get an idea you want to pursue first, fine. Do the hot thought first and keep the waiting three in reserve. Also, think ahead to filler items you can use in the newsletter if something else falls through and keep a list of them handy to glance at. "My Five Favorite______" types of things. Sketch out a few possible starting sentences as you list each item. That will help you remember your idea better and blast you past any writing block. Some people find that breaking off in mid-sentence can help their writer-brain re-engage with the subject when it's time to resume writing. You can also key newsletters to your videos. Maybe you're already there with this thought: You do a video on color charts and say sign up right now to get my newsletter with more information and additional examples of simple color charts you can make to explore what your paints can do. One idea working two ways. Best of luck. Love your videos!
ETA: I'm not a newsletter type of gal, unfortunately Jules. But I'd make an effort to read yours if it included those delicious mixing recipes! 😂 Those 2am Amazon purchases are all too familiar, Jules, for me!? So I enjoy these swatches and mixing videos. I too have seen other channels mentioned that only swatching isn't art and I disagree. I have created some of my best work after making these kinds of swatching charts. So my feedback for what I'd like to see from you is keep everything the same. I enjoy your art and content as you are! 🫂
That was interesting! I love colous and colour mixing, so I really like these videos. 🎨❤️
A blog or newsletter would be great. Love the idea of a colour chart book too. Definitley something to aim for xxx

Hey Jules! Please try the light blue in the center color wheel! ❤
And I'm your 50th like! 👍🏼
Oh, and I would love a newsletter from you. Bye

This is all very good and sensible advice. Thank you very much.
