Hodgkins’s color palette
Nine colors from three of Frances Hodgkins’s paintings. Free for Procreate, Adobe and print.



Frances Hodgkins left New Zealand for Europe in 1901 and became one of its boldest painters. These three, from before the First World War, pair warm creams and camels with vermilion, leaf green and a sea blue.
