Colour Palette 

To really focus on the colours I want to use for my collection, I have tried different ways to present the colours. This also helps me see more clearly what colours contrast each other and which ones compliment each other. Below are the different ways that I presented my colour palettes;

For this sample, I used a mixture of acrylic paints and Pebeo metallic paints to create the colours I want to focus on for my collection. Once I had mixed the paints I painted them onto A5 pieces of acetate and then stuck these together in a line, placing the colours in the order they flow in. As I haven't made a keywords page in my sketchbook yet, I decided to add the words I believe to be relevant to my collection. A few of these words were; cool, calm, natural, subtle, organic, and soft. These words should reflect how my sketchbook looks, and also my final collection.

This is the other way I have displayed the colours I want to be using. However, to do this I have used the colours that I can see in my primary images of the beach, and to correspond to the colours I have placed fabric swatches next to the images. For the images that only involved the water near the edge and the sand, I used colours such as nude, sand, brown, light brown, mink, pewter and white. However, for the images that include the deeper sea where the water is more blue, I have included fabric swatches with more blue hues. This was just another way to present the colours I will be using for my collection.
