Week three, color scale


1. I like doing value scales and color wheels because no matter how many times you do them, the results will most of the time be different, you will never get the same color every time, unless of course you are doing the value scale, in which, the case may be that you gradually reduce the color in a different way or you learn to do it better every time.

2. I enjoyed working best with acrylic paint. Acrylic paint happens to be my favorite media of really anything and I really enjoy using it with water to get brighter shades, although I didn't do it this time because it wasn't the assignment, I really like experimenting with it.

3. the most important discovery in the creation of these studies, I think, is how much of each color you need to use to get the desired results. You know you're going to need less blue if you're making a blue-violet or a blue-green. Same goes for yellow if you're making a yellow-orange or red-orange, you need less orange and red.

4. the most important information I learned from watching the video for this project is that blue and red are actually too dark to be primary, which explains why teachers before this year in my advance painting classes have us by magenta. My opinion of the videos is like the other ones, I'm not too thrilled about watching videos on things I've probably seen a lot, but I learn new things so I take with me some knowledge.
