Sketch painting using palette of Blue and Orange
Using the same principles as described for palette building in Colour Theory Experimentation 3, here I create a palette of Blue and Orange.
As we found from applying black to Yellow to create smokey greens (see article referred to above), its very interesting to see the gorgeous warm browns that can be created from just applying black to Orange. These shades of Orange are shown in the top row of the palette (see below), from left to right.
The second and third rows from the top show the tints of Orange.
The left-most bottom quadrant contains the Blue hue, with two shades of Blue (black applied) and one tint of Blue (white applied).
The right-most bottom quadrant is made up of hue mixes from the rest of the palette, to create useful greys and browns. Since its easy to drag any hue and drop it into an empty box to play with, experimenting can be a very rapid process without wasting any physical paint!
