Exploring Value and the Subtractive Color Theory

 I created this value scale and color wheel.  I liked making the color wheel better then creating the value scale because I like to paint.  Making the color wheel was a little more difficult because the secondary colors were coming out very dark.  I had a hard time taking a photo that showed the difference between the green, purple and black.  I ended up adding water to lighten the purple because it was so close to the black.  I found the color theory video interesting.  The video talks about the primary colors and shows that they are not Red, Blue and Yellow, but actually Magenta, Cyan and Yellow.  I found this interesting because we are taught all our lives that the primary colors are Red, Blue and Yellow.
