Week 4 Homework

This week, we will be moving from monochromatic painting to using color. For homework, we needed to create a value chart of colors. The color scale is broken into primary, secondary and tertiary colors.  Each color is created from 5 paints. These paints are combined based on a color wheel chart to create each color. We did not have every color listed on the recipes, so I had to adjust the mixtures accordingly.  For example, one of the colors called for cadmium yellow medium. I, however, only had cadmium yellow light. This changed the mixture needed for that color.

This was a more finicky project because while you think you are able to eyeball the mix, it really is difficult to be accurate. Especially since some tubes had larger necks than others. I can definitely see why it would be good to have all the same size tubes.
