Color and Value

I thought that creating a color wheel and value scale was fun.  Working with paint and buying materials made me want to get more brushes, start mixing colors and see what I can do on a canvas.  I liked working with the paint better than the charcoal.  I thought the paint was fun to move around mix and manipulate while the charcoal seemed like it took an extra light touch to achieve a desirable effect, which can be frustrating.  The most important discovery I made while creating these was the fact that I could achieve different tones of secondary colors with how I mixed the primary colors, it was fun and it made me want to create.  The most important thing I learned from the video was to use a circular pattern when creating value; I had used a more linear pattern which worked for charcoal especially when keeping the white end of the scale light.
