Shading between the lines and mixing to paint

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.
Honestly, I had a hard time with the color wheel. I’m 32, and I haven’t painted since I was 16. So I had a hard time with mixing the colors. They were also cheap acrylics, so I think the color accuracy was a little off. I had an easier time with drawing, and that used to be one of my best talents in art. Still a little rusty though.
2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I would say I would have liked paint better, especially if I had an easier time mixing them. Did anyone else have issues?
3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
I would have to say that I’ve always thought cyan, magenta, and yellow made up the primary colors.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
I’m a visual person, so watching, and then doing a project is easier for me than verbal or written instructions. The videos were a bit dry, not as cool as a Bob Ross video, but they were very helpful to me.
