Nature's Palette Book Studies

- Today I'm showing you examples from the Nature's Palette book that inspired me to create a new sketchbook of my own. Combining nature in graphite and watercolor studies is allowing a deeper understanding of what it all around me. It is a great example of the Art of Practice.

This is a great example of adapting a model to one's own art practice. I have this book and want to point out that the title is a bit misleading. The book is based on a standardized color reference system developed in the 18th and 19th centuries (before photography) to aid the emerging scientific classification of the natural world in Europe, as well as the mechanical reproduction of colors and pigments. The color schemes illustrate how colors in nature were interpreted, *represented* and reproduced during that era rather than reflecting nature itself. At the time, new colors and values were being recognized and differentiated for the first time and for me, the charts showing how nuanced and varied any one family of colors can be are the most useful and inspiring part of the book.
Thank you so much and totally agree that the charts are the inspiring part of the book which is why I wanted them bigger.
Holy Toledo! Like you said, the photos are beautiful but the color swatches are too small for these old tri-focal wearing eyes. That’s so discouraging. Thank you for showing the book!
I love how you use repurposed books as journals. Your birds are gorgeous!
You are welcome and thanks for liking my repurposed sketchbooks! They are my favorites to work in because they instantly make it playful.
Ooh! As a birder, your video was right up my alley. I love how you ‘study’ a book and then apply it to your art. I have slowly tried to emulate that inquiring mind, and it’s a lot of fun. Thank you!
You are welcome! Any time I can get you thinking outside the box is a good thing.
This is a perfect nature journal! So beautiful! I totally agree with you, no idea what the editors had in mind not to use the full size of the pages, what a waste… but you are making the best from it anyway! I can’t wait for the robin video, your art is always beautiful but I am in love with your graphite birds!
Thank you so much, especially loving my graphite birds YEAH!
This is a great video. Love the study explanations.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad the explanations helped along the way!
You are SUCH a talented and unique artist and investigator. There is such BEAUTY in your rendering, Kelly. You are so inspiring with watercolour, I just can't imagine you using acrylics. It would be fun to see a potted history ofvyour own development as an artist. THANK YOU x
Ahhh, thank you so much for your kind comments of my work and curiosity, I really appreciate it!
Your journals are beautiful! They’re works of art on their own.
Thank you, I try to make them pretty sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but that is the joy of a sketchbook for me!
@@kellyhoernig Week, that is the whole point of the sketchbook 😂.
I love your drawings, and I have this lovely book too and I agree that the pages are small.
This book is full of beautiful inspiration and hope this video makes you open it again to get your creating!
Great book. I purchased in Kindle to enlarge the pictures and color swatches...
That is so smart. Enjoy the many hours and hours of colorful inspiration at your fingertips!
Love the curiosity you have about our world.
My curious nature has been with me my whole life so it is just something I do every single day, a true gift for sure!
My favorite birds of all time, hands down, no questions, are the Birds of Paradise. All of them. I can't pick my favorite. OMG and their mating dances???? LMAO! The one that's so black he absorbs most light and looks like The Void fanning his feathers out and twirling in a tight little circle so he looks like a swirling vortex! I can't, theyre just too beautiful and funny!
Your visual descriptions are so lovely, I hope you are a writer and if not, you should be!
I also have this book and had rather skimmed through it. Watching this has inspired me and I shall be going through it properly. There is so much to learn now you’ve shown us. Thanks
It is a gold mine of information, beauty and artwork for sure. Glad I let you peer into it with my thoughts and energy. Thanks for watching!
Your drawing book is so lovely! Much more useful than the coffee table Nature's Palette book!
Thank you for making me giggle today, appreciate it!
Absolutely beautiful, I love everything 😍
Thank you so much and hope it has inspired you to create one of your own!
Your drawings are beautiful!!! Why do you not write te name or numbers of the colors you are using on them? How do you know the specific colour next time you want to use it? I would like to know which kind watercolor you use, they have such an interesting texture.Thank you also for the book review.
Since I am using my 2024 Studio palette I know the colors on it and don't really need to write the mixes down plus it is just more fun trying to remix the color from memory.
@@kellyhoernig How nice ! I will check your videos about the colours you are using.I have too many on my palette and this makes very difficult to get the same colour mix again.thankyou
@@muhlenstedt I've connected my Studio Palette video in the description box below the video.
I'm not impressed with the book you reviewed. As we age our eyes change. Glasses help to sharpen but do not enlarge images. I do like the separated painting of the birds. I did a watercolor sketchbook of 1/2 animal heads. That was fun.
The paintings inside are amazing and there are 100's I would say to study and look at. Love the idea of the animal heads in a sketchbook, how fun!
I probably wouldn’t buy the book because of the tiny pictures. I love watercolour painting but I have visions issues. So the pictures of the colour references would be too small for me. The t would frustrate me and cause me headaches to try to use it. It’s such a shame and a waste of an otherwise excellent reference book.
I totally understand what you mean. I can't imagine how many pages it would have been in my "wants" of huge color pages. We can dream, right? Thanks for watching!
I won’t tell if you don’t tell 😂
It remains a secret then, whew LOL
