The aim of this exercise was to find scenes or parts of scenes that were dominated by the primary and secondary colours shown on the colour wheel below. Primary - Red, Blue, Yellow
Secondary - Green, Orange, Violet
The idea was to find the colour and then alter the exposure to match the primary/ secondary colour as closely as possible.
the results can be seen below
Reflection.
This exercise was difficult for a number of reasons :-
- its hard to match a colour its either too light, too dark, too vivid, too dull or the wrong hue (an orangey red or a purpley red for example)
- Its not easy to find naturally occurring examples of these colours without turning to flowers and producing a seed catalogue.
- I am very much out of my comfort zone here and I feel I am floundering through this part of the course mechanically completing the exercises but without a real insight into what am supposed to be doing or producing.
One thing that I am noticing is that I am becoming more aware of colour in everyday life. I am looking at colours and asking myself where they fit on the wheel and are they bright vivid dull dark deep etc
