Artist Don Jusko has devised a new color system that will revolutionize the way artists view and use color. His system uses 36 hues that have been derived from a keen observation of nature and how the elements in crystalline structures combine to create neutral darks. This system is unique because it does not rely on black pigment to mix shadow colors, which often results in poor mixes, muddied color blends and dull lifeless tones.

He has a full training course for the New Color Wheel online at realcolorwheel.com.

You will not only learn about his color system. He has step-by-step painting instruction and tips that illustrate his proven system in action. Whether you are a photographer, digital artist, novice painter or seasoned professional, you will find something of value to enhance your work. Detailed color analysis, paint formulas used by the old masters, and aerial perspective color analysis are just a few of the many items that he provides that are invaluable to the serious artist.

The beauty of this system is that it produces vibrant, correct color mixes and it is simple to learn and teach. You will not be left alone as you learn. He hosts a forum for anyone using his system where you can ask questions, gain further help and guidance as well as post your own experiences. For a meager fee you can purchase a laminated copy of his color wheel and a CD (DVD now) of his entire course to have on hand as valuable reference tool. This is a groundbreaking achievement for color theory that will change the way artists view and mix color.

Real Color Wheel, October 20, 2012/ Press Release/-

Don Jusko, a renowned artist and on location painter has discovered and pursued a unique theory of the color wheel. His colorwheel is exceptional in that it joins the pigment and light colors for the first time. This is the only and first ever hue diagram where opposite colors mix into a neutral black.

One of the fascinating elements in this world is color. They bring life to everything and make each inimitable color distinct from one another. There had been many theories presented in the past from many centuries that talk about the basic primary colors as red, blue and yellow. With my passion for art ever since my childhood, I have strong connections to colors and to our surroundings. My discovery leads to a new generation of theory that changes the way color is used and viewed, says Don Jusko.

The Real Color Wheel exemplifies a distinguished pattern that utilizes 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 or 108 colors, drawn from a dedicated observation of nature and how the elements in crystalline structures unite to generate neutral darks. His study is one-of-a-kind as it does not utilize black pigment to blend shadow shades. It reveals an original structure of opposing hues mixed together to make neutral darks.

This colorwheel uses the transparent primary colors of Yellow, Magenta and Cyan. Secondary colors, complementary colors and split-complemantary colors mix to neutral darks thus removing the need of black pigment. Anyone can access this diagram online, on his website where artists and aspiring painters, art teachers and students can learn its application. You can also have access to step-by-step painting instructions and tips on how to use this diagram in real painting work. You can surely get something worth while with this application in your work, whether you are an art instructor, commercial artist, digital artist, photographer, interior decorator, a beginning painter or an art student. It improves your work when you can mix any color you see in front of you.

This innovative color scheme is available for purchase to anyone interested. You can buy a laminated copy of his color wheel that comes with a DVD of the complete color course. Learn all about color.

Don Jusko is a well known artist and on location painter in Maui, Hawaii, who pursued the theory of the Real Color Wheel. He has been painting in oils, acrylics, pastels and water colors since 1976 and has recorded 35 years of painting notes and tips of paintings done only on location.

Evolution of Color Wheel Theory

Color theory is a formal representation of how colors are mixed together and how they interact. Although it was said that it existed in the earliest days, the said study was credited to Isaac Newton and continues with the work of Itten and Don Jusko. Leonardo Da Vinci's notes have shown his discovery of the premise. But the majority of color theorists have pointed to Isaac Newton as the main developer of the principle. His study reveals the phenomenon of colorsin the late 1660s. He then experimented with elements of light and that resulted in his color theory in 1672.

Newton's premise of color reveals that objects possess a definite hue due to their absorption and reflection of various wavelengths of light. His color wheel chart demonstrated that Red, Yellow and Blue are primaries. Those were the most obvious colors from a prism. No one had interceded Newton's system until Johann Wolfgang Goethe came along. In 1810, he pursued the emotional impact of color to people. He, as a scientist and a writer as well, reformulated the premise of the system in a new way. Based on his hypothesis, color variables are affected by light and a person's perception.

Another popular artist in color history was Johannes Itten, a Swiss painter. As Newton lead to the discovery of the premise, Itten followed it with his development. He emphasized the tones contrasting properties as well as its emotional attributes. He developed the "color chords"concept and modified the color system.

"Color is life, for a world without color seems dead. As a flame produces light, light produces color. As intonation lends color to the spoken word, color lends spiritually realized sound to form." said Johannes Itten. Many claim that Itten's work is essential to the world of Art. It made designers and artists of today use his concept in their artwork.
It took a long time after that for the renowned artist Don Jusko to succeeded with the controversial paint color wheel of many theorists. His inception of the Real Color Wheel shows the oppositions of 36 hues that have been derived from his observation of nature, they match elements in crystals and combine to form shadow colors.
Through the years, the concept of color has been developed to show how they affect the physical and emotional world. This color system assists people who are involved in color and how they can enhance their work.

USEFUL APPLICATION OF REAL COLOR WHEEL
Real Color wheel, November 15, 2012/ Press Release/-

Don Jusko's discovery of the new color wheel reveals the use of opposing tones to produce neutral dark. This avant garde Real Color Wheel is genuine and exceptional for its theory that relies on the application of opposing colors in order to mix shadow colors. This is an important turning point for people who are engaged in photography, artists and painters as well as students and teachers.

The RCW uses opposition colors to darken shadow colors. It is original and one-of-a-kind, different from the other studies in past years as it matches the way the elements of colored crystals get darker. That is why it is also called the "crystal color wheel". It represents how the tones of these elements are made as they get dimmer.

This just means that the old theory of the colorwheel is erroneous as it does not darken the way nature and crystals do. Their oppositions don't mix to a neutral black which is a combination of oppositions. They depend on adding black pigment or subtracting light. Getting dimmer to black has an inaccurate effect on the shade colors. "With my discovery, anyone engaged in art must try this and see how your work improves." Don Jusko.

The Real Color Wheel is useful for matching pigments in order to come out with the proper neutral-dark shade mixing complements. Basically it works by mixing shadows and tones without utilizing black pigment. The RCW shows 18 various complement sets and 648 split complement sets.

Presently RCW is gaining popularity worldwide. More and more artists, painters and even universities are teaching this new concept of colorwheel to many students. It has been presented to the San Francisco Academy of Art University students in their color theory program, International Middle School of Geneva, Switzerland was the first to implement it. Western Kentucky University, Northern Arizona University, BYU, Glenn Carleton College, United Arab Emirates University and more now teach it. People are becoming aware and appreciated this study. I am glad how they can also appreciate it in their own artwork. Anyone indulged in painting on location, photographers and those who take art seriously as their work or hobby will surely gain usefulness of the Painting color wheel.

All About Color, the Real Color Wheel
Author: Don Jusko

Color is used in variety of concepts, definitions and applications. Through proper arrangement, we can classify groups according to their hues and we can correlate relationships among them.

Since myriads of artists and scientists have revealed various studies on color meanings, this color wheel offers a visual understanding of a new theory, and assists many interior designers, painters, illustrators and other artists to create work that can influence the visual impact and mood of the onlooker. This color wheel is also very useful for mixing paints. It allows the user to understand and know how colors will be mixed to create different hues and liveliness. In the circular RCW wheel, primaries are composed of transparent Yellow, Magenta and Cyan. They are used in paintings and mixing pigments. Since these hues are fundamental, they can be combined or mixed with other colors. They are the original source where all the other colors came from. Secondary colors pertain to Red, Blue and Green. They are produced by combining the primary colors. The tertiary colors of the Real Color Wheel are, Orange, Scarlet, Purple, Cobalt Blue, Turquoise and Yellow-green. They are formed by mixing the primary or secondary colors together to form in-between colors

Colorwheel or Color Circle is the conceptual illustrative organization of color. It illustrates the relationships among primary, secondary, tertiary and complementary hues. It is founded on the main principle of the basic colors, transparent yellow, magenta and cyan which have been the basis of arts foundation. In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton proposed the first diagram of colors which is still being taught today, his color theory is composed of red, yellow and blue, the only obvious colors in the prism and the wrong colors for the pigment artist to conceder primary.

With harmony, color, music, poetry or anything else that portrays a pleasant outcome is possible. But when it comes to the painting arts, it pertains to something which is pleasurable to the eyes. Because of this, it can call the attention of the viewer and can produce a sense of classification making them appear balance and organized. A color harmony therefore can be created based on analogous and complimentary colors of nature. In the RCW color wheel, color schemes are the rational arrangement of hues. They help create appeal and style.

Arts have never been the same since the introduction of color theory. The color circle enables many to understand how to carefully use the hues in everyday lives whether it is in art, architecture and design or the simple classification of objects around us.
