I always think I've created the perfect little one to stash in my pocketbook in order to keep me in line when I stand drooling over the Prisma display.<BR/><BR/>It was intended to keep me in a state of self-control when gazing at all those hues. Inevitably, I still purchase extras, duplicates, and I always get suckered into new brands and colors.<BR/><BR/>I think I have found making the little color charts more fun than the actual drawings sometimes.

I was going round with my digital camera set on black and white to see which colours were the same values - really surprising sometimes!littlemithihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072027337598940807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-24891445670825699172008-03-09T11:20:00.000-04:002008-03-09T11:20:00.000-04:00This was very helpful Linda.

I have always had trouble with values, even when I was quilting and choosing fabric (I used the old "squint one eye" trick that someone mentioned!)anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900362807680333144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-48456075041384965622008-03-07T21:20:00.000-05:002008-03-07T21:20:00.000-05:00One way to see the value is to squint at all the l...One way to see the value is to squint at all the little squares. That way, you see less of the colour and more of the value. <BR/><BR/>Very good exercise to scan them and then switch off the colour. The results can indeed be surprising!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196805822528168696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-34987066861506840652008-03-07T12:10:00.000-05:002008-03-07T12:10:00.000-05:00Thanks so much for sharing this.
