COOL PRIMARY TRIAD:

-Shmincke Helio Cerulean PB15:3

- Winsor & Newton Winsor Yellow PY175

- Schmincke Permanent Magenta PV19

-Conclusion: makes nice purple and green but a weird gold orange color.

WARM PRIMARY TRIAD:

-Schmincke Ultra Marine Finest PB29

-Schmincke Aureolin Hue PY151

-Schmincke Scarlet Red (Pyrrole) PR 254

-Conclusion: makes nice orange but the green is more Olive and the purple is too dark/muted in my opinion.

MIXED PRIMARY TRIAD:

- Shmincke Helio Cerulean PB15:3

- Schmincke Transparent Yellow PY151

- Schmincke Crimson Quinacridone (Quinacridone Magenta) PR 202

- Conclusion: I like the purple and the green but I dislike the orange made from the magenta.

SPLIT PRIMARY TRIAD:

- Cool Blue: Shmincke Helio Cerulean PB15:3

- Cool Yellow: Winsor & Newton Winsor Yellow PY175

- Cool Red: Schmincke Crimson Quinacridone (Quinacridone Magenta) PR 202

-Warm Blue: Schmincke Ultra Marine Finest PB 29

-Warm Yellow: Schmincke Transparent Yellow PY 151

-Warm Red: Schmincke Scarlet Red (Pyrrole) PR 254

- Favorite Purples: Cool Reds/Magentas mixed with either cool or warm blue (using warm red equaled really dark colors where the cool red made nice bright shades of purple in my opinion)

-Favorite Greens: Either Yellow + either blue (I like them all and they all seem like they would have a use whether bright or mossy or muted)

Favorite Orange: Warm Red + either Yellow (cool red made weird gold colors but not really Orange)

MIXING COMPLIMENTARY COLORS & BLACK/BROWN:

- Best Black = Warm Red + Cool Cool Blue?

- Purple + Orange= Brown color for me

- Magenta + Green made a really dark brown almost black for me

FINAL PROJECT

Yellow: DaVinci Raw Sienna Deep (PY42)

-An earthy golden, warm yellow.

Blue: DaVinci Pthalo Turquoise (PB16)

-A bright, rich turquoise

Red: Schmincke Madder Brown (Quinacridone Burnt Scarlett) PR 206

- An earthy, warm, brick red

Conclusion:

-the combinations were very interesting. Combining the matter brown with the phthalo turquoise made a secondary purple that's almost black in color. This was probably my least favorite combination but it could be useful if one needed to do shadows, etc.

-I really enjoyed the golden orange secondary color that came from mixing the raw sienna deep with the matter Brown. Think they would do really well in an earthy picture.

- the secondary color that came from mixing the phthalo turquoise with the raw sienna deep was interesting. I liked the mossy green tertiary color that set right next to the raw sienna a but I didn't necessarily love the other turquoices.

- Fun to mix and experiment!
