Those color cards would be a success if Cheap Joe’s provided that. There are a lot of DIY, in the art world. Honestly, I know there are many who’d benefit from this already product. I know for me, it would be huge. I’ve been in a really mean health battle that has so sadly had me unable to recall all I’ve known about color and the many joys of painting. Hopeful and praying either a miracle occurs or doctors don’t run from but to me with the hope-filled enthusiasm that is me to the core. Anyway, would be great to have this set available. I frankly need to reach out and ask your thoughts on some art supplies. I don’t know why I don’t. If there’s one thing Cheap Joe’s has is the opposite of cheap, rather the most beautiful, kind, personal & generous heart and spirit. Maybe I’ll finally just reach out. Guess It’s all part of things not coming easy to me lately. But who knows. Anything is possible. If, and when I do, you’ll see, Dawn. You guys are lovely of the best degree!!!

I will start developing a relationship with my colors. Where do you get the color cards? Do you make them yourself or do you buy them?

You always have the best tips! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Also, you are FUN to watch and listen to!

What did you use to make your color cards?

[SandyToesStudio]

Do you y'all sell those color cards? Thanks for the vid, totally agree and I'd rather have cards like this than my usual chart!

[annevickers]

It was a great workshop. I am practicing the things you taught us - building a relationship with the paints.

[JC-ilor]

Great advice! When you know your colors, it changes the game! And I found that always arranging them in the same order makes life easier-
Thanks Julie, and happy holidays!!

Really great information showing what can be achieved by allowing the paint to do its thing. I love the cards & hope to start making some for both watercolour & acrylic over the holiday period. Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Julie! Attended your workshop, enrolled in the upcoming virtual workshop. Playing with pigments to discover their relationships is my go-to “what do I paint today?” exercises. I’ve gotten some pretty cool paintings from this exercise, too!😊

[m.e.langieri]

Just wow…yes I will start the cards tomorrow! Thank you for another great impartation of knowledge and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤

There's literally no reason not to make color cards... And they could be completely digital if all you did was take a photo, then add notes to the photo and file then in a searchable folder.
