I am an art student. Because color is a huge part of my process, I am planning on making large inkjet prints of some of my palettes to show for my major studio's midterm critique.

Ideally I will have somewhere between four and ten palettes. They should go together well but not be too similar, and the more recent they are, the better. I am having trouble deciding on a group of palettes to use!

My question for the community: anyone want to help me make the selection?

Why don't you post some groups that you think would work well and then we can critique?

I really like the groups you've highlighted on your profile page. I think my personal favorite, the Seven Deadly Sins, would make a wonderful page.

I like what GreenMyEyes had to say... any of these sets would be good... but if you want to choose newer palettes.... create a new theme, say 7 Wonders of the World; off the top of my head.... and run through your palettes to see what palette fits each name in your theme. That way you could choose a series of colours that may be similar in tone, but you have room to choose all different colours on all parts of the colour wheel.

a few favourites from your profile page and your newer ones, ...lovely glassy palettes & nice widths :) and best wishes.

Hmmm, thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm a little hesitant to use any of my existing series palettes, just because they are a little too old to show as current work, so making a new set would be preferable. Here are a few I've been looking at:







So, perhaps try finding palettes that would go well with any/some of these?

I think Done Crying and Give Me Cavities go pretty well together, and I'd like to incorporate Vents in there somewhere... maybe with Protect Me. Freefall might be a little too saturated to work with any of the others, but if you can find palettes to accompany it I'd love to see them.

your series are great!

I made this one to accompany Vents, though I'm not sure it works for that purpose.

Thanks! :)

I love all of these, TF, but my favorite is Indian Summer. I think there are several that would well with this:

Oooh, great thoughts there... I especially like Indian Summer with No Longer, I think. I'll definitely be printing that as a pair (which brings me up to six palettes, in three groups of two).

So, thus far here are the three groupings I've printed:

I'd like to do at least one more set, preferably two. What am I missing?

I'm undecided but doubtful.

Not sure about this combo, really.
