TWELVTY
An Adventure in Color
Throughout 2020 I’m taking another trip around the color wheel, with a year long exploration of color. 12 colors in 12 months.
I’m documenting my journey along the way – catch up with the story so far at Mixy.Art.Blog
I’d love for you to join me. TWELVTY is open to everyone, and better yet, it’s free!

the TWELVTY story
TWELVTY is a year long exploration of the color wheel: 12 colors in 12 months.
It’s a deep dive into creativity. It’s an adventure.
Twelvty began as a personal project. In 2012 I decided to create an art journal using just one color at a time for a whole year: The 12 colors of the color wheel, one each month.
When I was ready to revisit this idea, I adapted the project into an online program.
Joined by a group of artists and creatives from around the world, we all created our own variations of a 12 color project.
It was a real joy to share the adventure. I expected this to be a one-off… But TWELVTY had other plans for me.
It’s testament to how much fun we had that almost half the students rejoined for a second year full of color.
A new version of the program evolved, and inspired by the overstuffed art journals that preceding TWELVTY adventures had borne, this time I adapted the art journaling techniques into a way of creating a 3-d mixed media color wheel.
