basic color building |
identify a hue by placing your value viewer over your photo reference, then asking yourself these four questions:
- what basic color do you see? red?
- where on the color wheel is it? is it a red on the warm side? (orangish) or the cool side (purplish)
- what is the intensity of the red? is it bright (high intensity - no gray) or dull (low intensity - lots of gray)?
- what is the value? is it a light red (when compared to the white of the value viewer) or a dark red?
|
with the hue identified, begin with the lightest value color you see, applying lightly.
add layers by value, starting with the lightest and gradually increasing to darker values. |
building a light grayish-greenish blue like this might go like this:
10% french grey
cloud blue (pale blue)
20% french grey
light cerulean blue (pale, grayish blue)
celadon green (pale, grayish green)
light cerulean blue again
