Exercise - Color Scheme Game Color Wheel

Create a Limited Palette Color Wheel

Using the Color Wheel Game Templates, you can easily and quickly create a color wheels for a limited palette of one yellow, one blue and one red.  In the following video I used Aureolin Yellow, Permanent Carmine and Joe's Blue.  I label every color wheel so that I know which pigments result in the mixes on the wheel.  I save the wheels for future reference.  You may be surprised at some of the extreme variations available from a limited palette of three tubes of paint.

The video is 8 minutes long.... it may take a while to upload.

This week's exercise is to make at least four color wheels using different combinations of a red, yellow and blue.  Try to use a cool red (Ali arin or Crimson) and a warm blue (Ultramarine) in one of your wheels.  In another, try a warm red (Cadmium or Scarlet) and a cool blue (Phthalo).  It's not necessary to have the templates to make the color wheels.  You can simply draw circles and divide them into twelve sections.  The color wheel template kit is available here.
