A Mathematician Paints: Color Charts
Introduction To prepare for a "plein air" workshop in the desert of California in Borrego Springs I have constructed color charts with the recommended palette of colors. I am a painter but I was a Mathematician. How does this affect me? More on this in later posts. After I sit on this project for awhile, I will discuss on this blog how I look at painting and art from a Mathematician's point of view: geometries, algebras, perspective, shapes, patterns, groups and their graphs, fractals and chaos in the landscape, golden spiral, dynamic symmetry, etcetera, all with an eye on understanding if a Mathematician's insight can add to the ability to paint. Or at least with an eye to understanding how mathematicss and painting are interwoven in MY life. These posts will include one on the mathematics of color charts!
