The Munsell Student Color Set




Remember, how I was asking how to intensify chroma? Well this made me realize that although I use paints on a daily basis, mix some cool colors now and then, I still like to have more control over hitting that desired color right on, without lots of experimentation's.

After trying to figure out how to intensity chroma, it hit me that maybe it's time to take a step back,to make another leap forward. So back to school it is.

After some on-line reading I learned about the New Munsell Student Color set. (Apparently it has been around a while, it's just been revised.) This book teaches value and chroma recognition by having the student match up color chips in the right order. The text is very informative and sheds light into how color behaves by inviting you to do a series of exercises.

I have started to paint color chips and will be talking about this exercise in progress on my blog.

For anyone who sees any value in "value" this is a great exercise!
