This is a recording of our live demo of Triad Template Tips with Lisa Spangler to celebrate the launch of our new product, the Triad Template, codesigned by Lisa herself!
The Triad Template is two tools in one: a template with six sections to plot your primary and secondary colors and a circular protractor. In this demo, we will explore color with Lisa: she’ll share suggestions for mixing triads, three ways to use our new Triad Template, and tips for setting up your palette. From Lisa, “We’ll have a spectrumtacular time!”
This demo also celebrates the launch of our limitededition Triad Palette! Working with our mutual friend and expert paintmaker Kelly Hollstrom, founder of Letter Sparrow, Lisa curated a set of four triads to align with each season of the year. We designed a special Pocket Palette in a beautiful teal blue with a custom pan arrangement of Mini Pans and Small Mixing Pans. The custom lid design features the clean, geometric linework of an overlapping triad.
Over the past few years, Lisa has shared her enthusiasm for watercolor and design with the Art Toolkit community through demos, a workshop, and as an Ambassador.
Thank you for watching!
