This piece about the three dimensions of color is wonderful. How have I never really known what chroma meant and the role it plays. I’m really grateful for this. I am new to watercolor but your advice is going to make a major difference to me. Thank you!

Anthony, honestly, YOU are AWESOME! I’ve followed you during the past 3 years (maybe more) to learn how to improve my ‘non-gifted’ watercolor painting. I am still copying others’ photos, some of my own and am attempting plein air, as a blank canvas stuns me as a deer in the headlights. I have this basic, essential skill to master–color mixing. I so wish I’d taken your introductory course on the subject, but got stars in my eyes and bought A LOT of colorful pallets with A LIT of colors all provided. I should have started with the 3 primary and 3 secondary colors and forced myself to properly LEARN to mix. I do own the 2 sets of W&N P/S paints and will follow your instructions and have the discipline to work through the whole colorwheel process and practice the 3 tenants of color you remind us of in this post.
Thank you AGAIN for your generosity in sharing these. Marcy Thobaben
