Color wheel progress
my project is going slow but scheduled time to work on more swatches. I have a hard time with paint consistency and should have painted more of the same swatch colors.
What i learned about color
i learned that color is a human construct as well as that hue is specifically a color lined up in a spectrum
Project in the making
While working on the value/scale project, I learned that I should have done the guache paint after the 3rd value scale to conserve paint

Definition:
Texture: “refers to the surface quality in a work of art. … Some things feel just as they appear; this is called real or actual texture. Some things look like they are rough but are actually smooth. Texture that is created to look like something it is not, is called visual or implied texture.”
Density: “The degree of tone, weight of darkness or color within a photo or reproduction measured by a densitometer.”
In my own words: Creating texture by adding objects also in turn adds density
