The Color Timer podcast aims to speak with professionals who work with color.

Yet, so often, I fall into the habit of speaking with professionals closer to my field of film and television, but I really do want to cast the further and learn from professionals working in other disciplines—that is what we are doing in this episode!

Anna Evans is a contemporary New Zealand landscape painter, children’s book illustrator, mural painter, and games artist.

With so many talents at her disposal, who better to learn about color from?

I discovered Anna while watching an Instagram video she made about color mixing that challenges some of the fundamental things we learned in art class as children. I was totally hooked by the way Anna explained things.

Her passion for color and the threads of science that keep popping up throughout our conversation make this an episode for both technicians and artists. Anna’s work is beautiful, so after listening to our chat, please check it out through the links below.

It made me wonder, whose art most inspires and provokes you to try new color grading techniques?
