Kitchen cupboard observational study


 The task was to produce x1 A3 tonally shaded observational study of the kitchen cupboards content. We had aprox of 3 hours to do it, but I did 5 hours. 

First of all I took a photo of my kitchen cupboard content so my parents didn't disturb the placement of the objects. 

Then I got a A3 piece of paper, a HB pencil, 4HB pencil, rubber and a sharperner. 

I divided my A3 page into 3 Asif it was 3 shelfs so I could make the objects in proportion. 

I used many different types of tonal shading such as, cross hatching, sitting, shading and a simple continuous lining. 

One thing I enjoyed about this was drawing the making each object in proportion. 

One thing I disliked about this activity was how dark I did my shading. 

Next time if I do this activity I shall lighten up my shading by using a different pencil and us will also neaten up my drawing in general. 

This was the kitchen cupboard as my photo. 
This was my drawing after I drew the content of the kitchen cupboard.

Primary, secondary, tertiary colours!


The colour  wheel or colour circle is the basic tool for combining colours. The first circular colour diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.

The color wheel is designed so that virtually any colours you pick from it will look good together. Over the years, many variations of the basic design have been made, but the most common version is a wheel of 12 colors based on the RYB (or artistic) colour model.

Traditionally, there are a number of colour   combinations that are considered especially pleasing. These are calledcolor harmonies or colour chords and they consist of two or more colours with a fixed relation in the colour wheel.

ColorImpact is designed to dynamically create a colour wheel to match your base colour.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colours 

In the RYB (or subtractive) colour model, the primary colours are red, yellow and blue.

The three secondary colors (green, orange and purple) are created by mixing two primary colours.

Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colours.
