Color scales-Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna plus White
Objectives:
Paint opaquely
Push the development of color options, examine warm vs cool, light vs dark.
Be aware of your mixture, devise a recipe-quarters, thirds, parts, etc.-you decide- just know how to get to a desired color.
Next step:
Oil sketch- Bread and Water
Use your color scales as a reference to help determine range and as a tool to adapt what's observed with the goal to create a warm/cool oil sketch-
Paint warm in the darks and cool in the lights.
Often, lower key/darker colors feel cool and can even deaden a painting. (Warming up) the shadow area helps create a more lively painted image- also, it helps avoid creating a dark void or flat mass within the painted image.
