Color Wheel
Workshops began at the Randolph County Community Art Center today.
My adult beginners watercolor class met first. We covered brush basics, painting techniques and color mixing. We made color wheels by ONLY using red, yellow and blue. Here is my example.
After mixing colors for our color wheels we started a new assignment. The students divided their papers into columns and rows. Then I painted the left section in each column. The students had to then decide which colors I had mixed together to get that specific color. Not only did they have to guess the colors to mix but also the amount of water to use, in order to match the intensity. Here is what we have so far. The white areas are unfinished. These paintings will be finished next week.
