◾Calligrafikas Color Focus◾ Color name: Light Red Brand: Mijello Mission Gold Pigment Composition: PBr25, PR112, PY150 Color Info: Semi transparent, staining, extremely lightfast I find this color bordering on red & brown spectrum. I am fond of using earth or brown colors mixed with pinks, they are great for old rose mixtures. By itself, it's like a rich red orange. I can see myself using this color for my dreamy landscapes, another alternative for earthy colors. I can also use this for florals probably mixed with red violet, magenta or purple. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #painter #pigment #colorfocus #color #calligrafikascolorfocus Paper: Hahnemühle Deko 140gsm Brush: Art Secret 881 series round no 7

◾Calligrafikas Color Focus◾ Color name: Prussian Green Brand: Mijello Mission Gold Pigment Composition: PB27, PG7 Color Info: Semi opaque, semi staining, extremely lightfast This color is not a necessity color since you can easily mix this one but it's handy to have a tube especially if you are using this color that often. You might think that in reality you might not grab for this color that often but I do uses this color to mix some experimental mixes like if you mix this with magenta it can turn into a deep violet. If you want to have a mud color that doesn't look really muddy but instead a deep color, this is a good alternative to use. I use this for foliage a lot or in my seascapes painting. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #painter #pigment #colorfocus #color #calligrafikascolorfocus Paper: Hahnemühle Deko 140gsm Brush: Art Secret 881 series round no 7

Primary Colors Day on Thursday!

Our color focus for this week is a combination of colors- primary colors. Join me in the exploration of all things primary colored this week as we surround ourselves with this combination of colors to better understand what they collectively offers our lives and our creative work. Wear your primary colors and bring your insights and observations of this combination of colors to our conversation in class on Thursday!

color theory refresh throuh two infographics describing how complex even the idea of primary colors can be...what are the primary colors? If you noticed, I was careful not to name them in this post. The answer depends on what way we percieve the colors, either reflecting off a surface or directly to the eye. O Color! You are are so mysterious!

Color Focus: Green

Today we will focus our color thinking on understanding greenness. Wear your green and note your perceptions, experiences and understanding of greenness in our discussion today!

Green Light Corridor, Bruce Nauman, 1970, wallboard and green fluorescent light, 10ft by 40ft by 1ft.

From Chromoaphilia: The Story of Color in Art by Stella Paul:

"This work is an assault on the senses, brough on through management of color and space...The persuasive green glow comes from overhead fluorescent tubes, and the light is claustrophobic rather than radiant or transcendent...While in the corridor, the eye and brain accomodate the color and it almost starts to feel neutral, although in reality, the brain's visual system is becoming fatigued by the stimulus. When you exit the corridor, you experience an optical phenomenon called "after image", the illusory senstioant of a complementary color. Having been over-exposed to such an abundance of green, now the eye "sees" a rosy, pinkish blog. The time immersed in Naumans unnerving green results in an alteration of the viewer's perceptions."

an infographic of color symbolism for green. Do you agree with this summary of what greenness can offer us? How do different types of greens change how green behaves in a creative work?
