THE DISCOVERY OF AN
IMPORTANT NEW COLOR TOOL
As an artist, you’ve seen everything. At every turn there is the new thing that is
going to change your life. Right? Sadly, most of those things are a disappointment.
After all, there is rarely anything new under the sun.JOHN POTOTSCHNIK: CREATE UNLIMITED COLOR WITH A LIMITED PALETTE™ © 2019 AND ©/™ LILIEDAHL VIDEO PRODUCTIONS, INC. 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Sometimes things happen by
accident. Such was the case when
I was sitting at the lunch table at
the Liliedahl studios when John
Pototschnik was there to shoot his
first video, a little over a year ago.
John said, “Want to see what I’m
working on? It’s my life’s work.” Th
he pulled out a stack of about 60 s
paintings of a house. Each painting
the same scene, yet every scene lo k d
completely different.
Artists Struggle with Color
Unnecessarily
When I asked what I was seeing, he said,
“Color is what every artist struggles with,
and there are all these theories about color h y to
use color to make your painting better. But it
most artists, and there are lots of different theories. So I started
working on a system that makes it easy to understand, and a way
you can just pick the mood and feel you’re looking for and see
how to mix it.”
Hundreds of Color Moods
He went on to tell me that everything I was seeing was done
with the same three colors and white, and yet, by putting the
emphasis on certain combinations, he had created all these
variations. John went on to say, “It’s been a monumental tool
for all the artists I teach, and they all want copies of all these
paintings and the formulas — but that, frankly, isn’t practical.”
A Eureka Moment
Then I had an “aha” moment. What if we were to put all the mixing
formulas in a book so artists could turn to the mood they want,
and then mix to get the exact feeling they
desire? John loved the idea, and even
suggested we make a companion video to
teach them how to do it.A New Kind of Book
As we brainstormed, we decided there
should be a transparent palette included,
and to make the book sturdy and spiral-
bound so it will lie flat. Artists can mix
the colors on the palette directly over
the page they want to copy. I don’t think
that has ever been done.Our First Video/Book Combo
