Mixing Colors

The class went great yesterday.  Remember, we didn’t have time to make a chart mixing your primary colors with your secondary colors and then changing each of the mixes value by tinting the mix with white to change the value, so make that chart. 

Also remember that your blue, green and yellow charts will use a cool (Alizarin Crimson) red and a warm red (cadmium med) for your temperature changes.  The yellow chart for landscape hues use burnt sienna for the warm yellow and the ultramarine blue for the cool temperature changes. 

Always fill the entire square, don’t leave any white edges and experiment with the temperature changes by tinting them with white to change their values.    I’m open to your comments or questions.
