Palette Kit

Palette Kit is a digital tool designed to simplify the colour selection process for artists who work with coloured pencils. Born from a collaboration with My Colourful Country Life, this project addresses a common challenge faced by coloured pencil artists: finding the perfect colour combinations to achieve desired effects.

About #

Palette Kit was created to help artists navigate the overwhelming world of coloured pencil selection. With countless brands and colour options available, finding the right combinations for blending, layering, and creating depth can be time-consuming and frustrating. Palette Kit streamlines this process, allowing artists to focus more on creating and less on searching for the right colours.

Background #

The inspiration for Palette Kit came from observing the meticulous process that coloured pencil artists go through to find the perfect colour combinations. Many artists, including Karen Stivala of My Colourful Country Life, spend considerable time experimenting with different pencil combinations to achieve specific effects in their artwork.

By digitalising this knowledge and creating a platform for sharing it, Palette Kit aims to make the artistic process more efficient while still maintaining the creative exploration that makes coloured pencil art so rewarding.
