Color Basics

Dusting off my art teaching (many years for pay, mostly with women, and 19 years volunteering to teach men in prison), it occurred to me that you might enjoy some basic art principles, which I will send over the next several Mondays. Here’s a homemade color wheel. There are only three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. When combined, they produce three secondary colors: orange, purple and green. When all three are combined evenly (in the middle), they make brown or black.
