Aye Eye Captain!

Here are some of my fiddlings from Color Theory class today. I really enjoy combining gouache, pen, and marker to try out some different color relationships. These little experiments may be used as college materials for my final piece or who knows, maybe just fun for now.

Color Theory: Color Anomaly and Bridge Tones

In this exercise, I created a design using monochromic or analogous schemes for the palette. From there, I made 2 more almost identical designs. In one, I added the bright fuschia to create an anomaly with this blue/green atmosphere. I turn to the third design to "solve" this anomaly. By changing some of the original spaces into more red/purple tones, the anomaly is more cohesive with its surroundings.

Color Theory: Palette Studies

Here are two color theory assignments. The first was a triadic palette, where we were to combine red, yellow, and blue to make a dark tone. The dark tone was then mixed with white and used as the background of the design and palette. To create this palette, I mixed mid, dark, and light tones, six hues for each. Including the original white, red, yellow and blue this palette consists of 22 colors. From this palette, I made this busy design.

Triadic Palette Design

The second was an altered palette, where 4 colors are individually mixed with the same darker tone. From this palette came the design below included all of the colors mixed.
