I am using my time off teaching this Easter to work on colour mixing & studies for my own painting progression and as an teaching aid.
The above is my palette with 4 yellows and 4 reds all mixed together to create –
ORANGES, 3 versions: Yellow-Orange, Orange & Red Orange
I want to improve on speed of colour mixing when I paint and having a chart to help me with colour combinations and comparisons at a glance.
I will do more charts for my other ‘Secondary’ Colours – Violets and Greens.
Colours I used today are:
YELLOWS
Cadmium Yellow Pale
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Yellow Deep
Yellow Ochre
REDS
Cadmium Red
Crimson
Magenta
Burnt Sienna
I used 24 different brushes to do these charts! – Which keeps the colours clean
