Skill builder Colour matching exercises
Choose one landscape and one portrait. Print out the page in colour so that you can see the colours accurately. Try to match the colours in the squares as closely as possible. Start off by mixing a general colour using small amounts of each primary. Then adjust it to match.
Keep an eye on the over all lightness and darkness of the colour. Test it out on the paper around the square.
Do the landscape first and the portrait second: all those brown tones are tough.
Remember, a brown is just a red or orange colour that has been grayed out.
