Art Journal: Color Wheel 2
· Art Journal acrylic color wheel color mixing 
Here’s another color wheel added to my Art Journal. (You can see the previous one here. ) For the previous wheel I used opaque colors. This one was created using colors that are more transparent: Quinacridone Magenta, Pthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade) and Indian Yellow. The center ring is the pure paints mixed with each other. The outer ring is these mixtures with Titanium White and the inner ring is these colors mixed with Ivory Black.

Before Christmas, I showed you a little peek of a very old acrylic painting that I started when I was young. I recently found another unfinished work that I began in the 1980’s. I will probably either finish or redo this one also. I don’t know if I will keep the original theme on this one, but the small part I’m showing you in this image, I still like. We’ll see what this becomes!

I am surprised at how many artists do not keep an art journal/sketch book. I’ve used one for years, and I find that they are invaluable learning tools for me. I have recently started a new one, in a 12-inch by 9 inch, Bee, Super Deluxe Mixed Media Book . I really like these books because the paper is excellent. I can use it for pretty much any medium and it works well. I can also gesso the pages and paint directly on them.

Many… MANY… (like, probably, 45) years ago, I had this idea for a painting. I grabbed the nearest paper (a brown paper lunch sack) and a ballpoint pen to sketch it out before I forgot about it. After about 15 minutes, I had all the shapes drawn. I also had color notes on the back of the bag. I have the bag around here somewhere. If I find it, I’ll post a pic of it.
