Color Palette


Considerations:

Organize your palette the same each time, location of paint on your palette will become intuitive and allow you to respond to the painted image, encouraging a continuous flow while in the process of making a painting. 

Your palette is inspired by the Zorn palette, modified by replacing Ivory black with a mixture of Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna. This allows for additional mixtures with the goal to examine an endless options of mixtures.

Concepts:
Tint/Shade-Light/Dark
Color Complements
Color Temperature


Use complementary colors to neutralize the chroma or darken-down your color choice- 
Also, color shades can be achieved by neutralizing and adding darker values like Rembrandt brown-
The goal is to achieve the lower key without suppressing the color.

Color scale assignment:
Create 1 x1 inch color scales of the modified Zorn palette- use the palette page as reference-
16 x 20 inch canvas
Goal: First, Make the color in your palette, then paint the scale-
Due for a grade-Wednesday at the beginning of class-

Paint opaquely when creating your color scales.

A limited palette requires exaggerated moments of color to create an effective illusion.
