I began reading this chapter, thinking that I knew what was
going on when I saw all the color wheels. But no! There’s a lot more to color
wheels than I realized. I didn’t know
there were so many different ways to represent the color spectrum… It makes me
wonder which is best? It sounds like Munsell’s color wheel is the preferred
color wheel for artists, but I’m not sure. Also, I think it’s interesting that
each color reaches peak chroma at different values. I saw a three-dimensional Munsell color chart
in one of my classes this last week, and thought I would love to buy one
someday!! But now the more I learn, the more I wonder if it would be better to
paint my own so I can understand it all better. I also love what Gurney shared
about grays- more paintings fail from not having enough neutrals than too many!
“Better gray than garish.” –Ingres I also learned a lot about how to handle
greens well- I’ve always had trouble with them as well, so I’m glad he
addressed using different shades, smuggling reds, and other methods to use
greens effectively.
