Chart Your Palette!

Artists who are serious about mastering color know the value of "doing the charts".

Nothing increases the mastery of your palette more effectively than the systematic creation of color charts with hue and value gradations for the colors in your palette.

Color Mixing Templates and Panels

Now ColorFrontier™ eliminates the need to mask and prepare charts with sticky tape by hand. A peel up mask with a grid of 55 square openings is placed upon a blank panel, ready for your paint, and provides for the value and mixture studies of an average, balanced palette of 11 colors or fewer as in the case of a limited palette. (Patent No. 6,857,875).

 

Announcement - Free Shipping (USPS Priority Mail), to all 50 states, IPOs and Puerto Rico, (International Shipping as outlined below), LIMIT - one set per customer.

A set of 12 panels with templates in place and Free Shipping*. $139.00 Total.

I am pleased to announce my latest production, and it's better than ever. A 3 mm board thickness, (instead of the past 4 mm), means the charts are 25% lighter, compact and more portable. All edges are block-planed by hand,...... and again, SHIPPING IS FREE to ALL 50 states, IPOs and Puerto Rico, (see below for international shipments).

”For anyone deterred from making the very important color charts because of the work involved in preparing the boards and squares, I recommend Randal McClure’s product. I wish his boards were available when I was doing my charts.” -Richard Schmid

Richard Schmid's book Alla Prima II - Expanded Edition has an excellent discussion about the purpose and method for doing the charts. (See Chapter 8)

Generally regarded as the art world's foremost book for painters seeking serious instruction in representational painting, Alla Prima-II is available at www.richardschmid.com along with other great items, including Katie Swatland's "Companion" to Alla Prima-II, DVDs and much more.
