Downloads
Below, you can find printable pages that help me to experiment with different paints, pigments, and colors. I've built these pages as A4-sized printable sheets. If you're using water-based paint, I recommend using thicker paper, and any artistic paper will work for dry mediums. Notice that your printer might not be able to process paper that is too thick.
Paint Wheel
It's a printable implementation of Bruce MacEvoy's paint wheel. I often paint with a limited palette; with this tool, I can visualize the color gamut of my paint selection.
Portrait Reference Booklet
A collection of cinematic faces for sketching practice. The portraits in this booklet come from old movies now in the public domain. I downloaded those films, went through them frame by frame, and picked moments where faces were clear and expressive. Each image was gently enhanced to restore a bit of contrast and life lost over time. From there, I chose the ones I liked most — simple, well-lit scenes that are easy to draw from. This booklet is meant for practice, not perfection. Just faces worth sketching.
Paint Lightfastness Tester
Here, you can download Bruce MacEvoy's paint lightfastness testing matrix. I do the test occasionally to remove weak pigments from my palette.
Mixing Grid
It is a tool for convenient mixing three or four colors into a grid with proportional gradations. I use it to test my paints. I can mix two colors with white or black, three or four colors with each other, or a color with two different tinting colors.
Color Diary
I paint with acrylics, which dry fast. That's why I cannot keep the paint on my palette forever. Whenever I mix a color I like, I record it as a formula in my color diary, and that's how I can re-create it again with accuracy.
