We'll be using the tried and true three systems color. With these three colors, there are many possibilities. One of the things that you need to know is a thing called after image. Now an after image is when you take color like red. This is a cadmium red, but it's a light, cadmium. There are many hues of red.

So we'll put another view over here. That is alizarin crimson. Now we can mix the two and we'll get another red. And maybe we'll put this one at the bottom of this one with two reds and orangey, cadmium, we say orangey because it's tending towards yellow. And we have the elixir and now the interesting thing is that red produces an after image of green. Green is a mixture of two colors.

We call it a secondary color. I'm going to mix it right beside the yellow. I'll keep that side clean. I'm going to put a green beside the red. Now if I put them together I'll get brown. By putting them together, I sort of defeats the whole purpose of them being together because once you've combined them you lose the purity.

So I'm bringing that purity back by just drifting a little water around them. What happens when my colors get dirty? Can I clean them off? Yes, you can. watercolours won't sit into the paper until they've sat for a while. takes a while for them to go in.

Okay, there's my red and green. And now I can add a little bit of yellow to clean it up a little and I am See that the cobalt, it's okay for green. It makes a washed out green, more like army green. The fail scene on the other hand, makes up very, very dramatic green. The kind of green that gets us excited. So now I've done my little experiment and I said, Well, I don't think I'm going to use cobalt for my greens, because it's not the best green in the world.

But I do like to cat them. So there's the red and green together. Let's try that again. Now. Take a little bit of the cadmium, put it on some dry paper. Drop a switch of the lizard into it.

And then not touching it but close to it. We'll add the sale green. Well let that dry and we're going to take a look at that moment. Next we have the blue and orange. I'm going to do the orange with some fairly strong cadmium. And then come at it with a little bit of a lizard.

Mix it on the paper. So many different kinds of orange. What's a little more here, a little more yellow. Mix it in. Just kind of Taylor it off now. So we've gone from an orange to an or a red orange to it later orange and almost to a yellow.

Now we're going to put the blue at the other end. Now this is the strong blue so I'm gonna put it here, but I'm keeping my eye on my red and green here. But as I just tried to do some to shapes and edges, hard edges, soft edges but not touching because then you will get intermediate colors. When you get all three colors going. They turn into intermediate Add colors and those are fine, but they're not lively. So notice I'm keeping the edge soft.

There we go. So I've put the blue next to the orange. No strengthen it up a bit there. That's the blue. The cobalt blue, which I'll use a little thicker. No water.

I think it's colder. We're just kind of making a little shape there. Nothing very fancy. Maybe bring it down here beside the orange, not touching it. So we have a classic car. combination of red and green, orange and blue.

Then we have a yellow and a blue. These are called adjacent colors. It means if you take a blue like here and yellow and then just add a little bit of the blue into the yellow, you get a warm, green. See, some people might call it turquoise, but it's a yellow green. Or if there's more blue, it's a blue green. So just a little bit more just just balancing the color here.

Using fe low and cadmium. Okay, so they're close. Then as you move out of the blue into the yellow, now we're really getting a yellow green. Kind of a summer green on a plant. Keep the edges soft and I don't go over and over it. And eventually you'll have pure yellow.

If we can manage to lose some of the blue will end up with a peer barrier. And once again, soften the edge. The idea of this experiment is to find out when all the colors do okay? So this would be called adjacent colors are analogous colors. They're in the same family like red is as far from from green as hot as from cold. A bread has to go a long way before it melts into green.

So the red would have to go to the next is violet. And then from violet, it would have to go to blue and then from Blue blue, green, and then from blue, green to yellow, green, and then from yellow green, or let's just think it will to yellow. And then oh, well we made green there were no there was that's how far we had to go. See so you can make them all come together and we call that a color wheel. Frankly, I think you're better learning it this way just in the beginning, because you get to experiment with colors.
