Colour wheel

It takes several attempts to make one perfect colour wheel. Something I learnt from here is that things which seems simple mostly are the most difficult ones to put together into. A perfect colour wheel is made from cobalt blue, chrome yellow and poster red alone. A slight change in proportion destroys the entire wheel. We mic primary colours to create secondary colours and further secondary colours to make tertiary colours. Making things in one direction is the best way to start for example taking blue and yellow and if we add slight blue to yellow we get lime, a bit more of blue might give green and so one till it doesn't give any new colour. In my 10th attempt a good a perfect colour wheel meeting my level of satisfaction and calibre.



The process..



Starting with primary colours


Making swatches

cutting out the best and neat swatches



arranging to check the uniformity of colour change.



Failed attempts on a colour wheel.


ATTEMPT 1 : The brush strokes are visible and non uniform shift in colours.





ATTEMPT 2 : Sketch pens highlights the lines and looks patchy. No mixing of primary colours





ATTEMPT 3 : Watercolours. Patchy and positioned wrongly.




ATTEMPT 7 : Thin, improper and messed up. Poor and watery strokes near to borders.
