P1 Color Assignment

The most frustrating thing about this project was the use of colored pencils. The medium didn't allow for any careless strokes. Using the complementary colors of purple and yellow proved difficult as well because of the enormous value difference between the two hues. Other complementaries don't quite have this problem. As a result the purple had to be extremely tinted to create a 0 value color contrast. One rewarding thing about this project was the satisfaction of having the colors vibrate against one another.

P1 Color Observation

This assignment really made me look hard at my immediate surroundings. Color and color combinations were every where. I didn't have to leave my house to get these images.

It seemed that most of the complementary color combinations were red/green. I didn't find many examples of orange/blue. The desaturated purple with the yellow  gray walls I feel is the most intriguing of the group.

The analogous color combinations where more prevalent because I feel the it is human nature to bunch like colors together. People I think shy away from using other color schemes because they feel it is to daunting of a task.
