Orange Tonal Study - Video



A short 2 and 1/2 hour color theory exploration into orange tonal colors. Liquitex Acrylic paint shot with a Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone in recording mode.

Orange Tonal Study

I think this is the last in the series. Perhaps I'll do a black and a white tonal study but I think I have done studies that are similar enough to move forward. Working with a cadmium orange hue - I think it's too red - so I add a small amount of primary yellow to get the orange I want.

Color palette included:
Cadmium Orange Hue
Primary Yellow
Titanium White
Mars Black

The battery was almost dead halfway through the painting so I was unable to record to the end.

Red Tonal Study

Red tonal study. For some odd reason I keep putting paint on my palette that I'm not using. I need to buy air-tight containers to put the paint since I can't put it back in the tube after it comes out. Perhaps I can buy Basics out of a jar. That would be nice.

Color palette included:
Naphthol Crimson
Titanium White
Mars Black
