Intensity!!

2/14/2016

As you know by now, the most intense color is on the outside of the color wheel.    The primaries are Red, Yellow, and Blue and Secondaries are Orange, Green and Purple.  Mixing the colors across the color wheel, or the complements in equal parts will become gray.  
Mixing all three primary colors will also make gray.  
But mixing any color across the color wheel in uneven  parts will produce colors that are neutralized or naturalized.  
We very seldom see full on intensity in nature unless it has been altered, such as hybridized plants.  Lots of browns,
 grayed greens and rusty reds.  

But some tubes of paint are now being produced to create a higher intensity than a simple intense color.  New methods have increased our ability to make a bright splashy color.  
Today we're going to try a new 'modern' type of paint made by Golden, a manufacturer of acrylic paint and mediums.  The brand is QOR and we'll be using the HighChroma set. 

We'll also be looking at QOR Watercolor Ground.  This brand can be worked on in 24 to 72 hours while the Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground takes a full 72 hours to dry.

And the type of support we'll be using is aquabord by Ampersand.  This is an archival clayboard artists panel.
