[Carol Diamond]

Hello all,
Thank you for work­ing in­de­pen­dently to­day- I’m sorry I couldn’t find a sub­sti­tute. Some­one will be in to take at­ten­dance at the be­gin­ning of class, mid­dle and near the end – will let you at at 1:40.

This is a chance to help one an­other – teach, learn as a group.
As I de­scribed, after you fin­ish the first paint­ing pro­ject with tri­ads and value scale, con­tinue:

Color Pan­els.

PAINT ON SKETCH PAPER IN 4-5 STRIPS, TO THE EDGE OF THE PAGES.

You will use those Mon­day to cut and paste in de­signs which show the con­cept Si­mul­ta­ne­ous Con­trast, which will be ex­plained in full.
Re­mem­ber: All col­ors have their nat­ural value – yel­low is very light, or­ange is medium, red/greens are medium/dark, blues and vi­o­lets are dark. Mixed hues of brown and gray are dark as well. To change Value to light, add dif­fer­ent amounts of white and pale gray.

PAGE 1 – all light tints – any hues you want, dull, in­tense, all col­ors mixed with dif­fer­ent amounts of white to cre­ate beau­ti­ful tints.

PAGE 2- medium value hues – look at a black/white value scale on a color wheel or on­line – match the mid­dle val­ues. For in­stance, Or­ange is mid­dle value, yel­low/green, greens, blues, reds with a lit­tle white or pale gray, etc.– if you mix browns and grays, add how­ever much white to match the value key you’re look­ing for.

PAGE 3- all dark hues.

TAKE YOUR TIME. THESE ARE DUE MON­DAY. GO SLOW, MAKE IN­TER­EST­ING VA­RI­ETY OF SEN­SI­TIVE COLOR. USE LOW IN­TEN­SITY AND HIGH IN­TEN­SITY COL­ORS.
