The Squint Test Color Study

And The Beekeeper Episode of The Ruins Podcast

This post is for anyone interested in color but was written expressly for collaborators of The Ruins Beehive.

There are many ways to do a color study. My job in these coming weeks is to help you see possibilities. Consider each example as something you have the opportunity to try, even if you choose another path. Whether you have one, two, or three triptych frames, decisions will be made. There is not a wrong way to do a color study, but you need to be able to explain (even if just to yourself) what aspect of color you are studying. Make sense?

Reminder: this Sunday, February 18th at 1pm EST is the first Bee Gathering. If you miss getting into this one, there will be two more.

For beginners wondering things like, what kind of glue adhesive do I use? What is this piece of mesh for? and where in the world do I start? the online Bee Gatherings are where your questions will be answered.

If your frame package has not arrived in time for the first Bee, no worries…
