Well, i haven't drawn much, from little age, i wanted to be an artist, but my parents wanted me to be in some assured profession.. Got very less motivation from my home, also liked to study , finally ended up in Engineering, recently started working in software industry, but my heart still is in painting, i consider i am not too much old to come completely in arts field professionally, but I haven't got any training etc. And also as regular gaps occured, i am not much efficient in painting. So Please give some time to see my paintings .. Especially one which i did when i was 15 link - http://fav.me/d4934rb , and give some KIND comments, if i am bad, say it, i will accept it, as My life is hanging in between these two fields. I don't want to be in some dream of my own. Here is the Link for drawings till date.. http://mritunjaynit.deviantart.com/gallery/<br />Help me!! with your comments and suggestions.<br /><br />Regards<br />Mritunjay SinghMritunjay Singhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942797782549905187.post-86257966874269372162012-09-03T17:49:18.638-04:002012-09-03T17:49:18.638-04:00Hi there Susan!...

Reference to how you put a complete outfit together or decorate a room was made. I had them choose the photo they would paint and think about the color family it pushed them towards. They selected all their swatches and could instantly see how these colors would look together. Later when they got stuck painting, those swatches were right there to remind them of the direction they set out for in the first place. For some, it's all they needed to get back on track.<br /><br />They also just had fun touching, playing and moving the colors around. <br /><br />We used them to answer color questions. We did an exercise where they picked a color and had to use a warm shade and a cool shade of the same color. It was an exercise on contrast. The colored squares came in handy and reference to the color wheel helped it all make sense.

What did you use the color swatches for? I've used them to help me mix color more accurately, with some success.Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.com
