A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires. Hedy Lamarr

Exploring Colors

Every beginning artist should experience making his/her own colors. Mixing colors is a fun and memorable process-as well as educational. An easy way to this is to allow your child to explore the relationships among colors by mixing paints on his/her own. With an older child, use the terms primary, secondary, and complementary colors.

Have your child work with small amounts of primary tempera paints (red, yellow, and blue). The secondary color can be produced by mixing small, equal amounts of paint color on a foam tray. (Be sure to clean the brush before mixing other colors.)

Identify Complementary Color
Identify Complementary Color
Identify complementary by finding which color lie directly opposite each other on the color wheel. Complementary colors look good together. They can also be used to produce other colors. If equal amounts of complementary colors are mixed together, brown is produced.
