Choose a painting that has 10-20 distinct colors. Send me a link if you did not get my approval in class. You will make two (2) paintings of equal size and proportion on a single page of Bristol board (or other sturdy paper). 1) The first is a proportional inventory of the color in the painting. This means you will mix colors to match those found in the original, and then paint them systematically in the same proportion. Each color should appear just once in the composition. 2) For the second, you will use the same color palette, but its composition is completely up to you, and you should shift the balance of colors. In addition, add one distinct prismatic color (on the outside ring of your original color wheel) that most closely corresponds to a color in the painting. For example if there is a warm, unsaturated orange-brown, include warm, saturated orange in your new painting. Incorporate collage into this piece in some manner. Some examples from David Hornung’s Color: A Workshop Approach.
