Colors and Values

1. It wasn’t very difficult to create the value scale or the color wheel. The greatest challenge I had was with finding the colors. I went to 3 different stores and the closest I came to finding cyan or magenta was an shimmer aqua color and a shimmer magenta.

2. I enjoyed working with both. However mixing the paints to get the new colors was fun, even if it didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted.

3. The most important discovery in the creation of these studies was how colors worked and how values worked, which are both qualities of light, so how light works.

4. The most important thing I learned were what the true primary colors were, as opposed to the red, blue, and yellow primary trio I was taught in elementary school.
