Some links to information and resources

Bruce MacAvoy's website - with remarkable scientific knowledge on aspects of colour. Here there is discussion on the best way to have a six-colour palette of the most vibrant colours possible.

Go to 'Secondary' palette page


Jeanne Dobie's website. Here, and in her book 'Making Color Sing', she shows examples of her work and techniques. Especially to be noted is her way of mixing colour when starting with a so-called secondary, such as green.

Some of the members of the PWS have been attending on-line tutorials and we had recommendations for:


Jake Winkle https://www.winkleart.com/
and


Belinda Reynell https://belindareynell.com/
both of whom sounded excellent. Note: the latter doesn't hold workshops in watercolour, but does, for instance, in water based oils.
