Complementary Colors:
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors (example: red and green). The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation.
Assignment:
Paint a complementary color wheel.
Materials
Acrylic Paint: Medium Yellow, Medium Red, and Ultramarine Blue
Bristle Brushes
Palette Knife
Water Containier
Paper Towel
9 x 12" 80 lb Drawing Paper
1. Draw a word from this list in capital letters to fill your paper. The letters should be shapes that you can paint inside (i.e. "block" letters).
2. Divide the paper into 12 triangles by drawing 6 straight lines through a central point.
3. Using only yellow, red, and blue, paint inside the letter shapes with the colors of the color wheel. Start with yellow (Some students find it easier to indicate the colors by penciling the initials of the colors before painting.).
4. In the forms outside and around the letters, within each triangle, you will use colors that are opposite (or "complements") of the letters. That is, if the letter is painted yellow, the area outside the letter (but within that triangle) will be painted violet. Look at the color wheel above to determine complements.
5. Clean your brushes well at the end of each class with soap and water. Lay them flat. Cover your paintings so they don't dry out overnight.
