it would be difficult to disclose precisely how I choose my colours, it’s on flux and the palettes I choose will depend on the piece; however I do not divulge too much to explain that I do not use the colour wheel for my selection, rather I opt for the RGB sliders. in physical pigments the process of fine tuning a color is more in line with that of the RGB sliders, I feel it’s made a massive improvement to my ability to select palettes that accurately account for the variations in hue as tone shifts in range.

I typically reference heavily the lighting and palettes of my pieces from media I am interested in at the time, for instance my minecraft pieces are developed with a careful study of the games color ranges; I then try to imagine myself creating those colors out of physical pigments. should a color realistically be able to reach this vibrancy with oil paints? how will the hue shift as I enter a new value range? these are just some of the questions I try to keep in mind.

I have done some work with charcoals but for the vast majority of my art now I have maintained digital as my primary medium.
