This three-day in-person workshop will dive into the complex world of color mixing, perception and relationships. While color mixing can seem overwhelming or complicated, this approach is all about being logical, and easy to understand. The start date is July 29, 2022. Location: [Academy of Realist Art Boston](https://www.araboston.com/), MA.

The book has more than 50 tips submitted by all types of artists, across all disciplines. Should be an interesting read 🙂 [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/102917fa-4a76-5885-ce4d-e3f09b59ae85.jpg)](https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2020/11/27/exploring-the-differences-between-black-pigments/) This week’s discussion began with the topic of black paints, drying times, and potential varnish issues. To learn a bit more about the different black paints that are available today there is a cool article on [www.](https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/)[jacksonart.com](http://jacksonart.com/). To read the article, please click [HERE.](https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2020/11/27/exploring-the-differences-between-black-pigments/) In addition, Anthony came across this [Wetcanvas forum](https://www.wetcanvas.com/) entry from 2011 that seemed to echo the same general solution he often uses—the addition of raw umber. It read, _“It’s an issue with carbon-blacks being slow-drying. The simplest solution to this is to add a little raw umber into the black and mix it well on the palette. The other factor which affects the drying speed of oils is environmental temperature.” -wetcanvas_ [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/553f75d7-f8af-4577-211c-f8640fb564a3.jpg)](https://micheleclamp.com/chromamagic-munsell-color-tool/) [ChromaMagic Munsell Color Tool](https://micheleclamp.com/chromamagic-munsell-color-tool/) by Michele Clamp. **What is ChromaMagic?** _Have you ever looked at a scene or a photo reference and thought ‘What is that color?’ As artists our color perception is crucial in knowing what we see and how we translate it onto canvas or paper. ChromaMagic was developed to help us quickly sharpen our skills in color perception and improve our paintings. It can show you the three Munsell components of color for any color in a photo reference and display them in the relevant color chart._ [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/f4cd68c5-0492-23cb-5752-3fb8bc8cfea4.jpg)](http://www.huevaluechroma.com/011.php) Two-color websites referenced this past week: [Handprint by Bruce MacEvoy](https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/wcolor.html) [Dimensions of Color by David Briggs](http://www.huevaluechroma.com/011.php) [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/50252c8c-47ab-df57-df7c-98ae85ae77c1.jpg)](https://anthonywaichulis.com/no-strings-attached/) This week, we also saw the topic of palette organization arise. One of the aspects of this organization mentioned was the employ of “strings”. The following explanation of strings and the relation to the “[Reilly Palette](http://ennisart.blogspot.com/2010/12/reilly-palette-palette-of-convenience.html#:~:text=Reilly's%20palette%20facilitates%20mixing%20the,A%20palette%20of%20convenience.)” that was mentioned is from the article" - [_No Strings Attached_](https://anthonywaichulis.com/no-strings-attached/), by Anthony Waichulis. _“The “color string”, a premixed gradation or evolution along a particular axis of hue, value, or chroma, has become a fairly common palette configuration device for many of today’s painters. One of the most well-known proponents of color strings was American Illustrator and celebrated educator, Frank Reilly (1906–1967). Mr. Reilly taught drawing and painting at the Grand Central School of Art, and illustration at the Pratt Institute and Moore College of Art. However, he is best known for his twenty-eight years of instructing at the Art Students League of New York and establishing the Frank J. Reilly School of Art in the early sixties, where he taught until his death in 1967._ _Among his many contributions to art education, Reilly is noted for developing a means of organizing the painter’s palette, based partially on the work of 19th-century colorist Albert H. Munsell. Following Munsell’s view of separating color into hue, value, and chroma, Reilly organized the figure-painting palette in this manner, creating nine values of neutral grey as a control._ _Reilly’s palette “consisted of nine equidistant values of neutral gray mixed at the top of a glass palette. Below that row were 9 equidistant values of YR in the same order (cadmium orange out of the tube, being V7), reduced in value by adding burnt umber, white being added to create values 8 and 9. Below the YR came red in the same order (cadmium red light out of the tube, being V5). The final row showed the actual flesh tones used for painting. Again, they consisted of 9 equidistant values of the same hue. In this case, each hue was created by adding the same value red-orange-gray in various proportions depending on things such as complexion, light source, and time or type of day. If the subject was ruddy complected, more red could be added to the base mixture of the red-orange-gray. This base flesh tone is reduced in chroma and has the appearance of make-up or rouge. It is used in blocking the mass shapes for a portrait or figure painting. Where purer color is required, as in a rosy cheek for a portrait or in the middle tones where it is more appropriate (high light and shade reduce color chromatically), one only needed to identify the correct value to be painted, then locate the desired hue and chroma on the palette. This was employing the Munsell system to its fullest potential. It gave artists more flexibility and control of their palettes and ultimately the quality of their work.”_ – [Kent Steine](https://www.americanartarchives.com/) Anthony also asked some of the artists in the zoom group that employs, at least in part, some of the Reilly organization in their palette layout, to share images of their own general layout. And there they are: ![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/b0fa7ca9-dd0b-0527-5c56-9efe8ec977d5.jpg) ![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/ead045a9-e3fc-b2f3-0190-a4a5508ca921.jpg) ![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/6d3ea520-1de6-2ac0-9433-a1402608de39.jpg) ![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/c5a5c288-3b08-9f25-5cee-30451ab1a02c.jpg) ![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/c525d0e3-565d-418f-b513-8af887e23ad5.jpg) [Julie Beck](https://juliebcreative.com/) also brought up [Graydon Parrish’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graydon_Parrish) list of oil colors that would provide the practitioner with the widest possible gamut. They are as follows: Williamsburg Titanium White in Safflower Oil (for high chroma mixtures) Lead or Titanium White in Linseed (for general, lower chroma mixes) Williamsburg Prussian Blue (the darkest pigment I have found) Michael Harding Ivory Black (for accents) Mars Black (for general mixing) Winsor Newton Permanent Alizarin Crimson (transparent) Winsor Newton Bright Red Williamsburg Cadmium Red Purple (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Red Deep (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Red (opaque) Gamblin Cad Red Light (opaque) Daniel Smith Quinacridone Coral (transparent) Williamsburg Pyrrole Orange (or Michael Harding Permanent Orange) Old Holland Cadmium Orange (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Orange (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Yellow Deep (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Yellow Medium (opaque) Gamblin Cadmium Yellow Light (opaque) Vasari Swamp Green (transparent) Winsor Newton Winsor Green Yellow Shade Winsor Newton Winsor Green Vasari Cobalt Bright Turquoise (opaque) Winsor Newton Winsor Blue Green Shade Williamsburg Ultramarine Blue Dioxazine Purple Holbein Quinacridone Magenta (transparent) Michael Harding Quinacridone Rose [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/939f51a0-026c-b3fa-ee24-ceb11aa50571.jpg)](https://www.jamielindholm.com/) [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/0989dc66-626c-bc1b-48a9-76efbcd5d29c.jpg)](https://nataliefeatherston.com/portfolio/) [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/ff96f300-6eb5-e001-2a1f-c14cb12a3815.jpg)](mailto:aaaw.anyadrs@gmail.com) [![](https://mcusercontent.com/b2093418486701575f7fdbd5d/images/6c4bdea5-3a94-4fd4-a832-a87db7320a33.jpg)](https://www.smartermarx.com/) **In between our bi-weekly Artist Round Table Sessions feel free to come and join the discussions on Smartermarx.** ---

Hi Holly! No, unfortunately, we do not record them. In fact, I make sure that all screen recording within the zoom app is disabled as I would like people to engage in free discourse without any concern that they are being recorded. I do acknowledge that this may leave some people without access to these discussions and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience. \<3 ---
