Color Mixing
Today we started discussing color theory and using watercolor to mix colors and create a color wheel by using only the primary colors.
Terms to know
Primary Colors: RED, BLUE, YELLOW - The three main colors in the color spectrum that are used to create every other color, with the exception of white
Secondary Colors: ORANGE, GREEN, PURPLE (Violet) - Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors together
Tertiary Colors: Also referred to as intermediate colors. These are the "hyphenated colors" like YELLOW-GREEN, RED-ORANGE, BLUE-GREEN, etc. Tertiary colors are made by mixing one primary with one secondary color.
