Hour 057

This card is from SVS Magic of Color.

This lesson is about doing a paint swatch from dark to light. The light color of the base green is really hard for this exercise. The green is already at a very light greyscale value, that it makes it hard to tell the levels of white to add. It goes to very light very quickly. I like the lower value end of the scale. This is the pure RBG green, so it was good to work with, but it took me even longer than usual because I had to keep going back and redoing sections.

Next time I will work with a non-primary color, maybe a purple, just to have more to work with.
