Mixed Color
How to Creat complementary colors ?
A complementary color of a primary color is the secondary color opposite it on the color wheel. They look nice together; maybe that's why they're complementary. Tertiary colors can also be complementary — any colors opposite each other on the wheel are complementary colors.
You can use analogies to remember complementary combinations. For instance:
Orange and blue are the colors of sunsets. Living in Colorado, I remember the colors of the Denver Broncos football team.
Yellow and purple are the colors of spring and Easter eggs.
Red and green are Christmas colors.
Make a chart of complementary colors.
- Draw a 4-x-1-inch rectangle on watercolor paper using a pencil.
- Use a 1-inch flat brush to paint clear water in the rectangle area so the area is damp — no puddles, no dry areas, just a shiny, even, wet surface.
- Paint ultramarine blue on one short side of the rectangle, rinse your brush, then paint burnt sienna on the other end. Blue and orange are complementary. Burnt sienna is a red-orange-brown color. You can use any complementary combination you want.
- Before the clear water dries, brush the two colors toward the middle of the rectangle to make a smooth transition between the two. Let the colors mix in the middle. The middle should mix to gray if the colors are diluted with water, or the mixed colors should be nearly black if you're using thicker colors with less water in them. You may even want to try mixing colors using more or less water to see the variety of new colors you can discover.
- Label the colors you used with a pencil.
- Repeat these steps with other complementary colors and label your choices. Try mixing black and yellow. These two colors usually turn green because black has a lot of blue in it. Make a chart of as many greens as you can figure out to mix, using whatever blues and yellows you have. Write down the names of the colors you use so you can remember your formulas when you want to create these colors again. Now observe a landscape in the summer. How many greens are in nature? It's probably infinite. Now you are aware and really seeing that landscape. Marvelous!
Practice making a gradual change from one color to the other. When you mix complementary colors together, they make a neutral gray. After you make several complementary color bars, look at all the gray colors you created. Use the chart to remember how to obtain those colors when you need them in a painting. These colorful grays are more lively than straightout- of-the-tube grays.
