Day four of our challenge!  It's time for some color today.  Today's challenge is to draw or paint a color wheel.  Paints are recommended, but digital or colored pencil works too.  

To learn more about color theory, use the following method to paint your color wheel:

1. Draw a triangle surrounded by a circle.  Draw another circle around that, and divide the space between the two circles into 12ths, and divide the triangle into 1/3rds.  (See image above).
2. Paint the three primary colors (red, blue and yellow) on the triangle and on the spaces that the triangle touches.
3. Mix a color inbetween each of the primary colors.  These "secondary" colors are: green, purple and orange.  Paint the middle spaces inbetween each primary color and the space around the triangle.
4. Mix a color inbetween each secondary color.  These are "tertiary" colors.  Examples: blue-green, maroon, reddish orange, etc.  Paint the spaces inbetween the secondary and primary colors.

By the end of this exercise, you will have learned a great deal about color theory and mixing colors!  Have fun :D

Extra credit: make a drawing or painting using some or all of the colors you mixed.

Please upload your drawing to Deviantart and comment on this journal with a link.  Also, please critique the drawings that you see others make, remembering to be kind and critique constructively. I will be in comments as much as I can to provide feedback.  

How are you guys feeling about the art challenge so far?  Let me know :)
