Munsell Neutral Grayscale


Today I'm posting my Munsell Neutral Scale. This is a useful tool when I'm painting still life's in my studio. The Neutral String is important as Value is probably the most important thing in setting up a painting.

This was created with a sheet of Acetate and I painted oil paint mixed to the Munsell Chips on the back. Now I can check my color by daubing on the front (acetate) and then just wipe it off.

The Munsell system breaks color down into Value, Hue and Chroma. I'll try to post later on Hue and Chroma.
