The Colour System Artists Are Obsessed With
The Sarah Renae Clark Colour Cube system is one of the most talked-about colour tools in the world right now, and for good reason.
If your colour choices keep letting down your artwork, you’re not alone. Choosing colours that actually work together is one of the most common struggles artists face, and guessing your way through it isn’t a strategy.
Designed by colour educator Sarah Renae Clark, this range of colour cubes, journals, workbooks and swatch systems gives you a clear, repeatable way to build palettes that look intentional, not accidental.
Art Shed is an Australian stockist of the Sarah Renae Clark range, available online with fast delivery across Australia.
What is the Sarah Renae Clark Colour System?
Sarah Renae Clark is a globally recognised colour educator who has helped millions of artists build real colour confidence. Her Colour Cube (also known as the Sarah Renae Clark Color Cube) system is built around one simple idea: colour selection shouldn’t be guesswork.
Instead of randomly picking colours and hoping they work, you use curated palettes and structured tools to guide your choices.
The system works across all mediums including acrylic paint, watercolour, gouache, coloured pencils, markers and mixed media.
