How to Make your own color wheel
Make your own color wheel. Follow Steps 1 to 3 to draw your own color wheel and continue with Step 4. Use the colors you own to fill in the color wheel. You need to buy the primary colors, but you can mix your own secondary and tertiary colors, which I call luxury colors. Luxuries make life easier. The purchased “luxury” colors are more intense, but the mixed versions of secondary and tertiary colors create a unity in your painting .
1. Draw a circle with a pencil on a piece of watercolor paper. Trace around a plate or something round. You choose the size you want.
2. Using a straight edge, make two triangles inside the circle. Make the first triangle’s points touch the circle with the bottom leg horizontal, and try to make all three sides equal in length — an equilateral triangle. Make another triangle upside down so the points fall on the circle between the points of the first triangle.
3. Label the first triangle’s points with the primary color names — red, yellow, and blue. It doesn’t matter which point gets which color. Divide the triangles whose tips point to the primary colors by drawing a straight line from the point to the middle of the triangle leg on the opposite side of the wheel.
4. Paint each primary color where named. Apply a little water to the paint (if you haven’t set up your palette yet, refer to Chapter 2). Mix enough pigment with water to get a rich color in the mixing area of your palette. Fill in the whole little triangle with the color that corresponds to the label name. Use a round brush and practice making a graded wash in the little triangle. Let the paint be darker near the outside edge of the triangle, but keep it transparent enough to read the name of the color through it. Adding more water makes the paint lighter; less water makes the paint darker.
5. Mix secondary colors next. If you have tubes of paint that are secondary colors, skip to Step 6. To mix primary colors to get secondary colors, follow these steps: A. Add water to two primary colors and mix a little puddle of each color on your palette leaving an inch or two between. Rinse your brush between using each color so you don’t contaminate your pure pigment puddles. B. Rinse your brush again, then bring a little of each of the two colors together in the middle. Equal amounts of primary color should produce a nice secondary color, but sometimes one primary is more potent. You can adjust the color by adding more of one or the other primary. By gradually mixing the colors, you get a variety of color choices as opposed to mixing both whole puddles together and having only that one color. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Play. Label. Discover. Write down the names of your mixed colors and their recipes or formulas. After you add your secondary colors to your color wheel, you can refer back to it to remember how a color was made. If you have tubes of paint in secondary colors, compare the color you mix and the tube color. Which one do you prefer?
6. Fill in the points of the second triangle you drew with the secondary colors. Make sure to put the colors between the correct primary colors. Use the mixtures from Step 5 or pure paint pigments that correspond with the secondary color names.
