We started a new block of sessions today, looking at watercolour combined with colour theory. We looked at different watercolour papers, what they are made of, three weights and their qualities. We looked at six basic primary colours, two each of yellow, blue, and red (roughly speaking a warm and cold of each. I will list the specific colours, along with their colour number, for the next session so you all know exactly what they are).
In order to understand these colours better we made simple colour wheels and charts with the colours. We then mixed a clear purple, a clear green and a clear orange. We experimented a little with mixing less saturated colours but we will look at that further in future sessions. Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm today. We will continue next week!
