This is the beginning of one use for these simple grids. It is really a color circle, just each color painted randomly in a square. Below each grid I make the best "burnt sienna" and "burnt umber" that I can from that set of primaries. The paint was wet when I photographed it, so the color isn't that great here. Will scan it when it's dry and replace this one...
You can pretty easily pick out the primaries. This one is Winsor Red Deep, Phthalo Blue and Cad. Yellow Med. I'll do it again with a different set of primaries like Alizarin Crimson, French Ultramarine, and Cad. Lemon.
Once a few of these are done with different primaries, you can compare them and see a difference in the color "flavor" so to speak. Then it's fun to choose which color set best suits your needs for a particular light situation.
There will be more color study and and a tutorial on pounces in the posts to follow.
Happy Painting! : 0 )
