Water is to CLEAN YOUR BRUSH – not rewet your paint
Use water often and clean your brushes as soon as you use them, otherwise they harden and are impossible to clean.
If your water looks “painty” empty it and get new water
CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF – brushes in turpenoid, water cups or brush rack
Palettes are clean and in dish rack when finished
Make your paper towels last
DON’T PUT A BRUSH WITH PAINT ON IT IN A DIFFERENT JAR OF PAINT!!!!!
If you are mixing paint, use DIFFERENT knives and/or brushes, DON’T double dip in the jar…Since this is all about shades and intensities your slightly mixed hue on your brush will greatly effect the intense jarred color (and make it useless)

2. Quarter 3 / Project 1-2 The next few weeks will deal with color
YOU WILL KNOW:
1. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors
2. Warm Schemes vs. Cool Schemes
3. How to mix value and intensity scales
4. How to apply this to a work of your own

3. Grades broken down as follows:
First project – combination of your:
color wheel, mixing chart,
(both) value and intensity scales
Quiz on basic terms – 10 questions
Quiz on intensity – 10/15 questions
Cont….

4. Second Project grade –
You will do a four part reproduction of a black and white image from a comic strip or coloring book that you will paint in a: 1. graded black and white 2. full intense color palette 3. warm color palette 4. cool color palette /each panel 4X4 or 5X5 inches and mounted on tag or matte board.

6. Basics before we paint Primary Colors:
These are the pure colors of red, yellow and blue.
Known as first or principle colors
They cannot be made by mixing together other colors, they can only be manufactured.

7. Secondary Colors: These are orange, green and purple.
Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors together.
R + Y = orange. B + Y = green. R + B =purple.

8. Tertiary (transitional) Colors
The 6 colors between your primaries and secondaries.
You can tell by the fact there are two colors in each name.
Blue Green, Red Orange, Orange Yellow, Yellow Green, Blue Violet and Red Violet.

9. Complimentary Colors:
These colors are opposite to one another on the color wheel.
Examples of complimentary pairs are: red and green; orange and blue; and yellow and purple.

10. What complimentary colors do:
Placed side-by-side complementary colors seem to intensify one another. Creating vibrating color schemes. A strong color contrast.
NEXT TO EACH OTHER = STRONGER
MIXED TOGETHER = WEAKER
MIXED EQUALLY = GRAY OR BROWN
When complimentary colors are mixed into each other they subdue or neutralize each other’s intensity. For instance, adding purple to yellow makes the yellow less bright, duller.
Based on this principle it is important to understand that by mixing complimentary color pairs together some of the best and most sophisticated grays are created.
Making gray but just using black and white paint is too simplistic and will start looking fake when used in a full color painting.

11. Complimentary Pairs

12. What black and white does:
Black: absorbs all light waves
White: reflects all light waves

13. Terms to know…***cough cough*** Quiz stuff…
1. Hue: is another name for the word ‘color’. 2. Value: This describes the lightness or darkness of a color. 3. Tint: Is a color that is mixed with white or is lightened by adding lots of Turpenoid. 4. Shade: Is a color that has been darkened by mixing in a dark color like black, brown etc. or a second color, usually its compliment. 5. Transparency: Describes the degree to which a color allows light to pass through it and reflect back from the color beneath. In oil painting you can use a technique called glazing to achieve transparent layers. 6. Opacity: This is the opposite of transparency. Images and other colors cannot be seen through it. 7. Saturation: How deeply and intensely hued a color is. 8. Temperature: All colors can be described as being either warm or cool

14. Everyone – make a basic color chart
Use a compass and create a circle
Use a ruler and create two reverse triangles within the circle: one pointing upward, one downward
Label as follows
Start painting in the most external spots with straight values from the tube (all equilateral triangles)
Mix your combinations and paint the blends (in the scalene triangles)
The inside hexagon should be left white.

15. Where everything is…

16. How you do it.

17. Intensity
Idea‐ All the colors come to us at their brightest intensity. The artist usually dulls or alters this intensity with a complement.
All color comes to us as intense and as bright as it can be.
Colors should be mixed either with complements or with value changes for most applications.
You cannot make a color brighter by mixing with any other colors.
The painting manufacturers start with the colors as bright as they can be.

18. Activity 2: list and identify six complementary pairs.
The three basic complimentary pairs are blue and orange, red and green, and yellow and violet.
The next three are: blue‐green and red‐orange, yellow‐ green and red‐violet, blue violet and yellow‐orange.
Paint them as pairs on the color chart by mixing the colors to be as close as you can to the example. Look at the color wheel supplied to see how they are placed on the wheel.

19. Black and White – Create a 9 step grey scale with black and white paint
Should be 9x2 inches with 9 1x2 inch squares paint in gradients of white to black.

20. Create an intensity scale for blue and orange.
An intensity scale will show the changes between a complementary pair and how they dull gradually into a neutral.
These two colors take away the hue and chroma of each other and create a neutral (flat grey) which has no hue or chroma.
The neutral is sometimes called brown and a different neutral can be made from each complementary pair on the color wheel.
Use a 9 color scale., Start with pure blue and pure orange on each side of the scale. By mixing a small amount of blue to the orange produce a dull orange and paint it in the rectangle next to the orange.
Underneath the grey scale, map out a space of 9”X2” inches with each of the 9 squares being 1X2”.
Tape off each square if you need to and fill it in/ work left to right.
Add more blue to dull it some more and gradually dull it into a neutral. The neutral should not resemble orange or blue.
Next dull the blue with orange working your way towards neutral again.

22. The uses for neutrals and intensity changes.
When you need to show shadows on an object or shading of a colored form, you should use the complementary pairs to show this instead of using black.
Using this mixing scheme is more realistic and shows how light or brightness is taken away from a color.
A neutral can be added to many colors to help make it appear more natural.
You can also add black and white to a dulled color and get many different tints and shades that might be right for your work.
A true neutral has no hue or chroma; it also is not on the color wheel.
A dull color can still be recognized as that color even though it has been dulled.
These pairs can be used as a color scheme along with black and white and they can produce many different colors that have contrast and variety.

23. Warm/ Cool Colors.
Understanding the relationship between warm and cool colors is the foundation to working with color.
Cool colors (such as green and blue) and warm colors (such as red and yellow) when used in combination with each other can create spatial effects.
The strong contrast in temperature: warm vs. cool, makes these colors seem to vibrate in space, with one pushing forward and the other falling back
Remember even your classic “warms” like yellow and red have cools while your classic “cool” like blue has a warm to it.
Primary Color Warm vs Cool
1. red = cadmium red / medium alizarin crimson
2. Blue = Phthalo blue / ultramarine blue
3. yellow = cadmium yellow medium nickel / lemon or zinc yellow

24. PART ONE:Make 2 color temperature wheels
Color Wheel #1; Warm
Straight from the tube use:
• Cadmium red for your red
• Yellow ochre/oxide for your yellow
• Phthalo blue for your blue
Mix your secondary colors by using these warm primaries above, not by using green, purple and orange from the tube.

25. Wheel 2 Color Wheel #2; Cool Straight from the tube use:
• Alizarin cadmium red for your red
• Medium Cadmium Yellow for your yellow
Ultramarine blue for your blue
Mix your secondary colors by using these cool primaries above, not by using green, purple and orange from the tube.

26. PART TWO:
Make color scales for each of the pairs of complimentary colors. There should be five steps between the compliments
1. Red and green (Cad. Red and mixed cool green)
2. Purple and yellow (mixed cool purple and warm yellow—Cad yellow)
3. Orange and blue (mixed warm orange and Phthalo blue)
