Stage 1 Introduction and preparation
The twelve colour circle
This second assignment has got me quite excited.
Very strange….I don’t draw or paint, but still…..can’t wait till I reach the chapters where I can get the fabrics out and start dying and painting them. But as always I am trying to run before I can walk. There is a colour wheel to be made!
So of I went, upstairs to get my big tubes of paints out. I mixed up the right colours and the wheel was made in a jiffy. The next morning I saw the results of my paintwork, it looked like the colours had split whilst drying. Hmmm, maybe I needed better quality paints?
So of to the art shop, ouch those gouaches are expensive! Luckily Winsor & Newton have got a boxed set of CMYK mixing colours, that was just what I needed and far more reasonably priced.
