2. EARNING ZEN COINS

  • General Members can earn zen coins on the purchase of qualifying online products at zenartsupplies.co. To receive zen coins for your Online purchases, you must be signed into your account. You may check at any time to see if you are signed in to the Site by looking in the upper right-hand corner of the site. Gift cards do not qualify for zen coins. Other products that do not qualify for zen coins are noted on the Site.
  • Earning Rate. Members earn 5 sen coins for every $1.00 spent on qualifying purchases (in other words, one (5) zen coins for every one dollar ($1) spent). Zen coins are based on your order subtotal, after any discounts, only. Zen coins are rounded down to the nearest whole number. For example, if you spend $9.99, you will receive 9 zen coins. The calculation is as follows: $9.99 x 1 zen coins per dollar = 9.99 zen coins, which is rounded down to 9 zen coins. This program started on August 17, 2020, and initial levels were set on the 2020 amount spent on ordering products. Note: Shipping and Taxes are not taken into consideration. If an item is return and/or price adjusted that will also be removed from your rewards calculations.
  • Gift Cards. Gift card purchases are not eligible to receive zen coins. However, once a gift card is redeemed, zen coins will be awarded to the recipient for the subtotal after any gift card values, provided s/he is logged into the account, as outlined in these Terms and Conditions.

Any rewards discounts that are applied to the order, will be distributed equally to the applicable items in the order when completing a return. Zen Coins redeemed on an order will not be reapplied back to your rewards account for any reason on a returned order. If a return/cancellation will cause your account to have a negative zen coin balance, you will not begin earning zen coins again until your zen coins balance is returned to zero (0), by making purchases, or engaging in other promotional activities offered from time to time. If an item is exchanged (different product) any redeemed rewards on the initial purchase may be transferred to the exchange one (1) time only. Rewards used on an order that is canceled cannot be reapplied as they are good for just one use.

Yellow and Gray: Pantone Colors of the Year 2021

Yellow and Gray: Pantone Colors of the Year 2021

In this article, we will be covering a range of topics about the colors yellow and gray and some ideas on how we can use this for our art practice this year. We will look at art journaling as therapy and Pantone's Color of the Year. Lastly, we'll explore color palettes in paintings by Picasso, Van Gogh, and two awesome ZenARtists from our community-Petro Konstantynov and Salvatore Fidone.

Yellow and Gray: Pantone Colors of the Year 2021

In December 2021, to everyone's surprise, Pantone once again announced two "Color of the Year" for 2021. If you're a visual artist, an interior, graphic or fashion designer who's been following all of Pantone's colors of the year, you'll know that this is the second time the leader in color language selected a pair for the year. The first time was when they named PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz and PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity the color of the year 2016. Rose Quartz and Serenity are meant to blend into each other, a balance between a warm pastel rose pink and cool calm blue reflecting the acknowledgement of gender equality and fluidity.

"A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting." -Pantone

This year is the color of yellow and gray. Pantone announced PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating and PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray as 2021's color or should we say "colors" of the year. Unlike 2016's color pair, 2021's Illuminating and Ultimate Gray are two independent colors that highlight how different elements come together to support one another.

We may say that this year's colors are indeed greatly influenced by the happenings of the year 2020. As more and more people look for ways to reinforce themselves with the much-needed energy and clarity to overcome the continuing uncertainty, bright and spirited shades might just inspire us to hope and move on. 

"The selection of two independent colors highlight how different elements come together to express a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting, conveying the idea that it's not about one color or one person, it's about more than one. The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude," said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

The contrast between Illuminating (#F5DF4D) and Ultimate Gray (#939597) creates a balance. Pantone image via pantone.com

Using symbolism to explain how one might visualise these colors, Pantone described Illuminating as a "bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power" while the Ultimate Gray is "emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation. The colors of pebbles on the beach and natural elements whose weathered appearance highlights an ability to stand the test of time, Ultimate Gray quietly assures, encouraging feelings of composure, steadiness and resilience."

What exactly is Pantone? 

Pantone colors are color codes that stand for a specific accurate shade--colors that can be communicated precisely using the Pantone code. Simply put, Pantone is another standard language for colors developed by the company Pantone in the 1960s.

Standard Language for Colors

These color codes and names have been used for decades by designers to communicate accurate colors to their team, their clients and the printing companies. Though it's widely used in graphic, interior and fashion design, here are two ideas we visual artists can use.

Idea #1 Naming your artwork

Use it to put a title to your artwork! Are you used to labeling your paintings "Untitled" in exhibit title cards? Why not add color names or codes to their titles? This is also perfect for abstract paintings. Write down this idea and you might just be able to use it someday.

Idea #2 Create a collection using a coded palette as inspiration

Create a 3, 4 or even 5-piece series or collection of paintings. Claude Monet created around 250 predominantly blue-hued paintings for his Water Lilies series, meanwhile, Vincent van Gogh created his yellow Sunflowers series.

Decades of Pantone Colors

Pantone started in the early 1950s as a small printing company in New Jersey, USA. In 1956, its founders, both advertising executives, hired Lawrence Herbert who later in 1962 purchased the company's technological assets and renamed them, Pantone. In 1963, Pantone introduced the Pantone Matching System-a color communication system with 500 colors. In the next two decades, Pantone successfully established themselves as the graphic arts industry standard for the color specification extending their library of colors to 747.

In 1983, Pantone established the Pantone Color Institute-their arm specifically focused on color consulting and trend forecasting aimed to help designers and brands "harness the power of color." It was the year 1999 when Pantone announced Cerulean Blue as their first-ever "Color of the Year" for 2000, the color of the millennium.

 

Yellow Art Journals to Lift the Spirits Up

Getting the ideal life we want requires real work and tracking progress seem to be an insurmountable task that overwhelms our creative souls. Sometimes it's just too overwhelming-juggling our art practice, promoting our art plus the occasional creativity block whilst making sure our personal well-being is in top shape. It's important now, more than ever to engage in self-care and boost mindfulness, and we can start by journaling.

For this year, why not uplift your mood with colors? Our vibrant Zesty Lime Art Journal will definitely give that lift, maybe inspire you to keep moving, keep creating. Read more about how journaling as therapy can lead to a better life.

Let's explore yellow and gray Pantone Colors in oil paintings.

Using color-matching tools available online, our team explored yellow and gray Pantone and hex codes in the paintings we selected for this section. Let's take a look at oil paintings from Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, and ZenARTists Petro Konstantynov and Salvatore Fidone.

Guernica by Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso's most famous work, Guernica is also his most powerful political statement. Guernica depicts in devastating metaphor the sufferings of innocent civilians and animals during the war. Picasso painted Guernica as his reaction to the Nazi's bombing practise on the Basque town of Guernica in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The use of greys in this monumental oil painting gave depth and intensified the drama and emotion. This gray, black, and white painting is 3.49 meters or 11 feet 5 inches tall and 7.76 meters or 25 feet 6 inches across.

Lemons by Petro Konstantynov

Wheatfield with Crows by Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh's Wheatfield with Crows is argued to be the artist's very last painting before his death. The iconic painting depicts a bright yellow wheatfield and looming over the landscape-turbulent dark cloudy skies filled with crows. In a letter he wrote to his brother Theo in July 1890 about his paintings, Vincent van Gogh mentioned that he made a point of "expressing sadness" and later adding "extreme loneliness" or "de la solitude extr^eme."

Whichever oil paint color you choose to use more often this 2021, make sure to utilise them well by experimenting and trying out various color mixes. Read this comprehensive article on "Creating Fabulous Colors with Oils." Use grays to add depth and yellows to shine some vibrance to your pieces this year. Read our insightful feature "Color Yellow: What It Means and How Artists Can Utilise the Benefits for Their Artworks" to gather a multitude of ideas and maybe thank us later.
