Here is the information on the three sets of Primary Colors. You will need to research David Briggs website to be sure you understand the concepts and differences between the three types of Primaries.
Due Monday, March 12- Good painted gouache swatches for each of the Primary Color sets.
Here is a breakdown of the perfect swatches you will need to paint and how many:
- Yellow- 3 swatches total.
- Red- 2 swatches total.
- Blue - 2 swatches total.
- Cyan (Green-Blue)- 1 swatch total.
- Magenta (Blue-Red)- 1 swatch total.
- Green - 1 swatch total.
For Monday- Please bring in all your painting supplies and cutting supplies.
From David Briggs website:
"Ideal yellow, magenta and cyan colorants would be the optimal primaries for paint mixing, if such pigments existed. However, even today our best magenta and cyan pigments are well towards red and blue respectively, compared to the ideal magenta and cyan subtractive primaries. No high-chroma pigments are very close to an ideal magenta hue.
The closest high-chroma oil painting pigment is quinacridone magenta (PV 19), which is distinctly redder than ideal magenta.
The closest popular oil painting pigment to an ideal cyan is the green shade variant of phthalocyanine blue (PB 15.3), which similarly is distinctly bluer than an ideal cyan.
Note:
Cobalt green is closer to ideal cyan in hue, and does mix some
blue-green colors not obtained using phthalocyanine blue alone as the
primary, but yields fewer colors in the bluish range. It is also more
expensive, and being opaque is less suited to mixing dark colors.
Yellow pigments are available in an essentially continuous range of hues, and a pale or lemon yellow seems to provide the optimal gamut of colors."
