Color Inspiration from the Masters of Painting
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008As I’ve said before, I absolutely love the ColourLovers blog.
Their latest post is the best yet.
Basically they have hand picked some of the greatest pieces of art and then compiled the colour palette used by the artist.
Here’s an example:
The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci |

 |
 Painted between 1503 and 1506 in Florence, Italy. It is painted using the sfumato method, a term coined by Leonardo referring to a painting technique in which translucent layers of paint are applied so subtly that there is no perceptible transition. Her enigmatic smile has been both evocative and cause of speculation as to whom she might be. |

This is a post you can’t afford to sleep on.
