Value Scale and Color Wheel

I was looking forward to this project just to start getting in the habit of working with some form of medium again, although these specific projects were pretty much a basic introduction to the medium and a bit redundant to me. I think because of this I ended up procrastinating on the work and found myself rushing to get this done. In waiting to the last minute, I ended up using my oil paints for the color wheel as the stores all closed earlier than I expected to get some acrylic paints.

For this particular project I enjoyed working with the paints more than the graphite. I think the mixing of the paints and applying the color just didn't seem as tedious as the value scale. I do enjoy drawing, however, and would just prefer to actually apply that scale in my work.

For me the most important discovery was really just a recognition of how I tend to work and the way I tend to rush things through at the last minute. I think my work suffers in the end, as I become complacent with just getting things done, even if they are not completely finished in the way I really want.

The color wheel video was interesting because I basically discovered that I had the wrong colors in my wheel.  What a waste, but I updated my wheel anyway...
