The first part of my color study was to lay out all the hues, plus two of their tints, and two shades. Some of the colors didn't mix as well as I'd like but regardless, it was a good way to start.
The next part of this process was to decide how I'd organize my colors (other than a pretty, pretty rainbow). So thumbnail sketches were necessary once more. Most of these thumbnails are cropped parts of my line study final or inspirations taken from that. I tried to pick basic patterns because.....
..... once I pick a module (four samples above) I'm going to put it into a grid. These were on cut trace paper, so it was difficult to lay them flat to scan. However, I have picked the top right and the bottom left of these modules to put into a 18" x 18" design. The final is going to incorporate all 60 colors at least once, so let's hope it doesn't kill the eyes!
I will add to this post as the project progresses.
