COLOR THEORY
Most of us have been taught the 12-Color Wheel.  It makes sense, it’s pretty, and so on.  BUT BUT BUT something clicked for me when I discovered the 10 Color Wheel and started playing with it.  A guy named Munsell is responsible for coming up with this idea, as I understand it.  It just makes SO much sense.

• There’s a wonderful website www.ApplePainter.com where there’s lots of info.
• A fabulous little FREE e-course on color theory (10-xolor wheel) at http://howtobeachildrensbookillustrator.wordpress.com/free-color-mastery/
• Here’s a collection of images and info I’ve put cobbled together into a Munsell Color Theory from a few sources, ApplePainter, Gouache for Illustrators, and other sources.  )I awaited permission from ApplePainter for over a month to post this, and never heard back).

Here are some of my doodles and paintings using this new-to-me color theory.
