Every time the color was on a color palette, I thought “no, that’s not it”, but every time you put in on paper I gasped “wow!” This looks like some kind of magic to me! 😮
-
Emma, please do more of these color matching videos! You are amazing! I learned so much about color matching watching you do this. Without this instruction I’m not sure I could color match on my own. Thank you again.
-
Wow, you're a master in color mixing!
-
This might be great for choosing yarn colors for crochet projects. I am intrigued!
-
There is also an interactive PDF digital version (which I purchased with the two boxes) that you can search by color, subject, etc. and it refers you to the color cube. Such fun!!! That is a beautiful palette that you chose to paint with. :cat-orange-whistling:
-
Can u do more videos like this with the cubes
-
Emma, girl….. you’re really something else. Do you even realise how talented you are ? How inspiring ? Keep on the good work !!!!! 🎉
-
Emma … you’re like some kind of colour mixologist! Just Beautiful. Would love to watch you do more of these demos. Have a wonderful day! 👏
-
You don’t need words, you speak so well in colours! 😃
-
Ohh! I think it would be fun to occasionally use a random number generator to choose a palette to work with. This looks so cool!
-
Oh wow!!! And oh no!!!! something else to buy!❤❤❤these are fantastic!!!especially that they all have pictures to go with the pallet!! Oh my!!! I’m speechless ❣️❣️❣️🌹💃💃💃
-
This is so awesome. I also over those older videos where you color matched in real time. More of those for sure!
-
I love using Sarah Renae Clarke's Color Cubes! They truly do kick start the creative process. LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch you do more of these colour mixing and matching videos. Like I have read in so many comments - it is fascinating watching and learning how to mix to achieve the right colour and tone. You have an incredible talent x
-
Love my color cubes.
-
I could watch this type of video all day. I loved seeing how you mixed the colors and then see how you used them. Can't wait to see you use more of the Color Cubes!
-
That was some spectacular color matching! Bravo! I think Ultramarine Blue is actually a warm blue, which is how you mixed that last beautiful green. Thanks for showing us!
-
Wow! IMO you matched those perfectly! Just beautiful- I have no clue how to do any of this but I loved watching it all come together.
-
I love this with the color companion which is her digital version so you can flip through that and just pull the corresponding number from the box!!
-
I love these color cubes. When I am stuck for an idea or color palette I pull them off the shelf and have a look. I often just want a quick idea for sketching or drawing - so these help with warming up....
-
Wow! Another wonderful tutorial. Many thanks!
