SB06: Watercolor Color Wheel

You will create your third color wheel, except you will use your watercolors to complete it. Be sure to use a sheet of your watercolor paper, and then rubber-cement or tape the page into your sketchbook. Again, you can use any shapes you like – you are not committed to repeating the shapes from the first two color wheels. Reference these tips for using watercolors, and next to your color wheel, write down 3 skills/techniques/approaches you learned from the videos and guides on this page that you’re trying to incorporate into your color wheel.

If you are in ADVANCED DRAWING, the shapes of your color wheel must tell a story.


Practice blending on a different sheet of paper before executing the colors on your color wheels. Be sure to spray seal the color wheels immediately after completing them to prevent smudging/flaking. Craft is the main factor in grading this assignment.
