| Altoids mini-palettes |
 |
| Triad experiements |
Many in the urban sketching community—led by Marc Taro Holmes— have temporarily put away their pens, preparing for thirty days of “direct” watercolor sketching during the month of June.
I thought about joining in, but wanted more direction—since I won't be traveling to an exotic locale for inspiration, as many do.
I recently purchased Nita Leland's updated classic, Exploring Color Workshop, and want to work on her exercises.
I picked up a few packs of Altoids (Smalls)*, filled them with her examples of “harmonious palettes” of primaries, and attached them to a small enamel butcher's tray. Several colors do double duty, appearing in two triads.
*Cathy Johnson has a Youtube tutorial on creating primary palettes which includes the use of Altoids tins.
