Graphic rendition of a Color Chart after mixtures are applied

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 Panels

Now ColorFrontier™ takes the drudgery out of the process by eliminating the need to layout and mask boards by hand.

I've designed a peel up mask placed upon a blank color chart panel with the squares laid out ready for your paint mixtures. (Patent No. 6,857,875) The panels come in a set of 12 to facilitate the traditional study of colors in a typical, balanced palette.

Recommended by Richard Schmid

”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 has an excellent discussion on the importance of doing the charts starting on page 130.

A standard in classical art eduction and in its tenth printing, Alla Prima is now in soft cover at www.richardschmid.com/book.html along with his latest book, The Landscapes.
