Artisan Spectrum

“When considering the colors to develop with traditional materials, it is essential to explore a wide spectrum of hues that can be achieved through various mediums.Each traditional medium offers unique characteristics that influence the final color outcome, including texture, opacity, and vibrancy. For instance, watercolors can produce soft, translucent shades, while oil paints allow for richer, more saturated colors. By experimenting with different combinations and techniques, artists can create a diverse palette that reflects their vision and style.


 It is important to recognize that the colors derived from traditional materials can also be replicated using a digital palette. Digital tools provide artists with the flexibility to manipulate colors with precision, allowing for an extensive range of possibilities that may not be easily achievable with physical mediums. Software programs often include features that enable users to adjust hue, saturation, and brightness, facilitating the exploration of color theory in a more dynamic way. This digital approach can serve as a complementary method to traditional practices, expanding the artist's creative options.


Ultimately, the interplay between traditional and digital color creation can enhance an artist's overall work.”


When I was 4 years old in 1980, I was scribbling on pieces of paper. Years later, I have utilized both traditional and digital materials to create my art.
