Exercise: Primary and Secondary Colour Mixing.





Acrylic.

Identifying primary colours.
go through all your  primary colours
find the most intense
you need to mix a little white to see the hue of the darker reds and blues

then

Exercise: Mixing Greys. Anachromatic Scale.

Acrylic.

I found this to be a helpful Exercise. 
By placing the neutral grey on ether end of the scale I could see that to the eye it appears much darker against the white and vice versa beside the dark.
It was also interesting to see how many different grey tones I could achieve.
This is especially useful for me, as I do struggle to make enough variety of tone in both drawing and painting, and is something I hope to improve on over this course.
