互补色文字

为了更深入理解互补色,我们创作了一幅绘画作品,使用所选互补色的不同明度进行绘制。我们在正方形画纸上,用方格辅助,以粗体字形式绘制一个三字母单词。目标是为每种选定颜色至少创造出8 种变化。
例如,我们选取互补色组合:蓝色与橙色。我们可以利用现成的蓝色系颜料(如青色、群青、普鲁士蓝、绿松石色等)来制作多种蓝色变体;通过加入白色或黑色来调整其明度;混合不同蓝色;或加入红色、黄色,调出偏紫的蓝色或偏绿的蓝色。同样地,橙色也可被调得更浅或更深、更偏黄或更偏红、更淡雅或更饱和。
通过这项活动,我们学习了如何调色,从而获得同一浅色调的多种变化。由此,我们得以体会色彩在饱和度、明度及冷暖上的细微差异。

Words in complementary colors

In order to better understand the complementary colors we created a drawing to paint with different shades of complementary colors. We chose a three-letters word to draw in bold type on a squared grid, on a square drawing sheet. The aim is to create at least 8 variation of every chosen color.
For example we consider the couple of complementary colors blue and orange: we can create many variation of blue using the ready shades of blue (cyan, ultramarine, prussian blue, turquoise etc…), adding white or black to these blues, by mixing them or adding red or yellow to create purplish blue or greenish blue. In the same way the orange can be lighter or darker, more yellowish or reddish, paler or more saturated.
With this activity we learned how to mix colors in order to find many variations of a same tint. In that way we can understand the slight differences of saturation, tone or temperature of a color.




Here below you can watch the video-tutorial created by Chad Brown. In his video this great art teacher and friend shows how to do the painting step by step.
