I am working on understanding color. Specifically Stephen Quiller's color wheel. Last week in Monteagle, a friend brought a Stephen Quiller video for us all to watch. He stressed that by mixing the exact complement of a color you will avoid mixing a muddy color. I have only a few minutes today to play around. This is my beginning of mixing true complements. I am using some of the brands he suggested and some that I already had in my collection. Colors vary by manufacturers but I think I have a good start. The colors in the middle should produce a grey. You can see some warm and some cool greys. I remember doing this exercise in college but I didn't have quite the appreciation for it then as I do now.
