Color Theory, Value Scale and Color Wheel

Creating the value scale and color wheel were fun but difficult. I found the value scale was the easier task. However, the difficult part was getting my squares to gradually get lighter. When it came to the color wheel...something went terribly wrong! I went to several different art stores and none had cyan, so I got the closest thing to it. But when I had to mix the three primary colors to make black, it came out more of a brown color.
     The media I enjoyed working with the most was the pencil. I liked it because I was able to manipulate and control the outcome more. I could press hard to get a darker line, or lighter for the opposite. I also was able to use my finger to blend and shade.
      The most important discovery I made in creating these color wheel is the importance of having the right shade of blue. From the video I learned that you can't just mix half-and-half with the primary colors to create the secondary colors.
