17th Century Watercolors
In 1692, a Dutch artist known only as A. Boogert compiled a guidebook on mixing watercolors titled Klaer Lightende Spiegel der Verfkonst comprising nearly 900 pages of handwritten descriptions about how to mix colors and 2,088 hand-painted samples.
This project explores the complete collection of mixtures created in the manuscript in an interactive visualization and posters.
