What I know now

The primary colors are red blue and yellow
the secondary colors are orange green and purple
you create secondary colors by mixing the primary colors together
complimentary colors are colors that are across from each other on the color wheel
two ways you could emphasize something in a painting is by the color and the placement
if i were trying to creat a shadow on an object in a painting i would mix a complimentary color with the color that i am using
if i were painting an object and i wanted to create the illusion of a highlight on it i would make the color of the object lighter than it is
if i were trying to make an object look lies it's far away i would make it smaller
these are the steps i would take to build a painting are making a small sketch, pick out the colors, get all my material, run it rhought miss roberts, and start
