Paul, I've mentioned before about my color wheel project in college. We didn't use the Munsell system. At 49:43 you mention value scales and chroma scales. That's exactly what we did with our color wheel. We started with all six color wheel colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple...we used those colors straight out of the tubes. The instructors choose what tube colors worked best. We then had to mix 10 steps of value for each color...we used a value scale similar to the one you have to check the colors. We also mixed a set of value scales for colors in between each color wheel color...such as red/orange, orange/yellow, yellow/green and so on. Those colors we had to mix (not out of the tube colors). So, the complete color wheel had 120 differed paint chips. We used acrylic on stiff paper and would start by using white and we would slowly mix in a particular color and paint a swatch. Then we mix in a little more and paint another swatch. We continued that process and filled many, many pages of color swatches. Once we got about halfway, we then would start with the straight, darker tube color and slowly mix in white. And we would mix in black to get the darkest values. Then we cut them all out and choose the ones that best matched the value scale. If you didn't have an exact match, that you had to mix more and paint more swatches. Once we had all our swatches we, cut them out with a craft knife and glued them into the final color wheel pattern on a board. I think we spend half a semester on that project. We where graded on the color and value accuracy as well on the quality of smoothness of our paint chips, and overall draftsmanship of the entire project. The finale color wheel was about 2 foot square in size. It was quite the project! Here is a link to the value scale we used: www.ebay.com/itm/155393939833?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JhWqeGz3Rmi&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I was planning to but we had a weird early spring - the daffs came and went again so quickly I didn't get round to painting any! Roses are coming soon though :)
The importance of having quality reference photos cannot be understated. I know he touches on this. It's what makes the shadows and reflected lights in the shadows work so well. If the source light was tinted or the background was high chroma it would change the mix for these areas
Just in case you do not get a fast response from Paul.. You should buy the glossy version. Because it will be necessary to put your test paint onto the Munsell chip for comparison purposes. Then you will need to wipe the chip clean. This is easier with glossy. But difficult maybe impossible with Matt version. Hope you don't mind me commenting on your msg. Paul does not always respond to txt or other messages.
The most beautiful rose! ❤

Hello Paul, where can I get that value scale chart? I found one from Amazon but it's not as details as yours.

Mr Paul is The Is the munsell big book you use the matte addition or glossy addition ?
Louie from Florida
Glossy
