For this assignment we had to mix the primary colors of Red, Yellow and Blue to make our color wheel. This is how my wheel turned out. I added some graphic tape around the samples to give it a more finished look. The black colors in the middle are showing the difference between a mixed Black (on top) with an Ivory Black out of the tube (on bottom). I used gouache water paint for this assignment.
