My concept behind this color wheel was to be a heart that was made up of little hearts. In the middle I put the colors that I used to make the rest of the colors within the wheel. Throughout the creation of this wheel I felt nothing but pure joy for the beautiful colors that I made. I would have to say though for me blue was the color I had some struggle getting but eventually I got it. This took 1 hour and 30 minutes.
To the left is a broad range collage and to the right is a high key range collage. Each collage took 3 hours to complete, in total this part took 6 hours.
It didn’t take me that much to finish. When I mixed red and blue, somehow it did not make purple but a weird dirt color. However, it turned violet when I mixed magenta and cyan. I was glad; made the painting to be flower.
This phase took me about 4 hrs to finish. The left one is broad and the right one is narrow low key. The hardest part in this phase is painting, I spend most of theĀ time on painting, but fortunately the brush control getting Ā little a bit better than the last time.
Each painting took me about almost three hours. It was hard for me to make the broad color than the narrowed one. I was not really sure about the colors for the narrow high key, because I saw example from my classmate. However,Ā like how it turned out including the shapes that I picked.
In order to create this color wheel I had to use only the 3 Primary colors, (RED, YELLOW, and BLUE). To create the rest of the colors, I then had to mix these colors together to create the secondary colors (ORANGE, GREEN, and VIOLET). And so on.
Time Spent – About an hour and half.
In this project, I experienced painting and Photoshop. Before I started this project, I thought I the painting part would most interest me, but after i did the paint, I realize that painting is most challenge part of the project. The most part I enjoyed in is making the 3D image, even though I can’t really see the 3D effect, but I still enjoy of making it, it make me feel I’m professional.
