Colour exercises

We were asked to make a colour wheel and mix primary gouache colours together to create a range of tones. The primary shades I had were not as bright as most people's but the effect is quite nice. Because the colour samples were in a single block, they form a cohesive collection, resembling a woven piece.

We were then asked to create proportional colour stripes based on drawings from our Journeys project. I used one, two and three images to make each of the samples above. From the stripes, I would say the colours on the right hand one are too grey and masculine together, but I like the drawings they are derived from; this means that line, texture and form help to break up colour and alter how we see it.
