Thank you so much. I had no idea this much info was available on the paint website. I have already saved all the different charts and the Shading document is printing as I write. Very helpful!
Oh my goodness, Marcy. Thanks so very much. I have a listing of my paints on my iPhone for when I go to Michael’s but these charts are a game changer. I just downloaded both PDF’s. Your “how to’s” are so helpful. I had no idea this info existed.
I have the color chart printed and take it with me as well. The other chart I never noticed so I will be printing that out in just a few minutes. Thank you for the tips!
Dear Marcy, You make such valuable videos. This one is mega again. I also think it's great that you're sharing your experience with us. That's not always a given for artists. But your knowledge helps so many of us. Thank you for that. It's a shame that you live so far away :) Best regards from Germany, Cathrin
Thank you dear Cathrin! The way i see it, if you want to learn the craft, you must learn it all. Being a good teacher doesn't require keeping secret recipes. 😉
Thank you! Very helpful. I don't know color theory, never took an art class ever :-) I actually bought a color wheel about 5 yrs ago when pour painting was my medium. I never really got the hang of it. Now that I create dot mandalas, I typically just choose colors that please MY eye. Nice to know I can go to the website of my favorite paint and find all these charts! My 'eye' doesn't always follow proper color theory, lol
Thanks for this video. I use these charts when trying to find compatible colors and do a lot of cross-referencing, trying to drill down to more compatibility across colors. Does anyone know the meaning of the paint numbers? I'm assuming the "DA" is Deco Art. Does the number system indicate the hue, saturation, and brightness of color?
Excellent question! So if they have a # sign and number following it, its the hex color code. for an example: #fbfdfb, This is the code that in a paint program like photoshop you can make that true color on the computer. I actually made every hex color of deco art so I can play around with the colors in my photoshop program. On the shading and highlighting chart its a little different with the DA number, I've looked and cannot find that reason. I'm thinking possibly an inventory number? But i really don't know.

Hi Diane!! I know right! I remember stumbling upon these and it was like finding gold. lol

@@printsandpaintsbymarcy Are you willing to share your hex chart? Is it a color chart or just data? Thanks
@@laraewelch5217 it's a file you would insert into Photoshop. If you know how to do that I'd be happy to email it to you. 🙂
