The Colour Wheel

Module 1 - Chapter 1


Here is the colour wheel I painted with Reeves Gouache.  I like precision tasks so I enjoyed this very much.  I think I am going to choose green and red for my pair of complementary colours as it is a favourite combination of mine, often seen in nature – think of holly, red roses or a poppy field and it is wonderful how bright red ‘sings’ against a green backdrop.    I really love the drama of complementary colours so I am looking forward to painting some papers at the weekend when I have a bit more time.
