Colour Cards! Information in a gorgeous format.

I had been naturally moving towards this card swatch format for years, but it really clicked for me about a year ago when I realised that charts - which can be useful in some cases - were not the most versatile or inspirational for my art. So I started making templates (I have dozens of them for various colour swatching tasks - I will likely share a lot more of them in more classes), and BOOM the big shift and joy of colour isolation cards was born. 

This class if full - like, crazy packed - with my own projects, but here are a few stills of my decks that may inspire you to create your own colour swatch cards. They are totally worth making, and I genuinely use them often. They live on my desk in a little business card box, ready for action.

I am in the process of making additional decks for all of my inks and watercolour sets, and then I'm going to do my various crayons and markers, which will also double as texture references for sketching and mixed media art. And I have a top-secret deck that I just might make a follow-up class for... I'm still designing it now, but I'm excited! :)
