When the three primary colors yellow, red and blue are mixed together, the result is brown. There are infinite varieties of brown, depending on the proportions and intensity of color, but it is always a result of mixing the three primary colors. Add white to the mix and you have delicious beige.
A neutral palette, then, is one where this mix is achieved. The neutral palette is the one preferred by nature.
In January 2002, scientists at John Hopkins University announced that they had discovered the color of all the light in the universe… and it was beige! The color was quickly renamed “cosmic latte” by the team.
In celebration of all things neutral and brown, here are some of my mixed media pieces from the ongoing series "Of the Woods".
