graphics Pathway - Day 10 Colour And Illustration.

 During todays work shop we started by looking at the colour wheel, starting with the primary colours : Red, Yellow and Blue. Then making the secondary colours by adding 2 of the rimary colours together: Yellow and Red to make Orange

Red and Blue to make Purple.

Blue and Yellow to make Green.

I was really confident at making the colour wheel so i found it really easy and quick to complete.

I then started by looking at the Tertiary colours by adding:
Orange and Blue to make umber brown.
Yellow and Purple to make ocher brown.
 Red and Green to make burnt sienn's brown.
i found this task pretty simple and easy to do.

We them went on to create a illustartion for each tertiary colour by looking at a piece of text which could have been a poem a quote or a lyric.

illustration 1: 

Be there to guide me.

 Illustration 2:

But never hold me down.

 Illustration 3:

The time is killing me

i am really happy with my illustrations i think that they work very well apart from illustration 3 which is no correct to the tertiary colour for it contains black instead of green, but illustartion one and two work very well for i have used the tertiary colours, the illustration fits the quotes really well.
