A Little Bit of Color

Color Wheel Studies

One of the ways to begin to understand color is to create designs and even paintings which require you to manipulate color in very specific ways.  The next several paintings are designs based on the 12 colors of the color wheel using tints and tones with  monochromatic, analogous,  and complementary color schemes.

The next two paintings are based on all 12 colors of the color wheel using tints and tones but in a regular painting format.
