The next few lessons that we worked on were mixing color and working with value. I found that I liked mixing colors but I didn’t like some of the mixtures that I got. I decided that my tube Benzemide Orange was a nicer color than the orange that I mixed. Likewise for Chromoxide Green and Thioindigo Violet vs. mixed green and violet. The value scales of all the different colors was challenging. I found it easier to get the tints rather than the shades. I had to modify the shades several times. This was a useful lesson.
