1. These activities helped me learn a lot about painting; I hadn't done much of it before this project. I learned that paints are pretty easy to blend if you have a wet brush, that you can make textures in a lot of ways, and that there are certain ways to make colors more muted, darker, or warmer/cooler.
2. I think the tint, shade and tone exercise will be most useful for my painting. My reference photo has a lot of blues in varying shades, so knowing how to get to specific blues using black and white is useful. 3. I learned the most from the color matching exercise, because it helped me start viewing colors as just a bunch of primary mixed together. I figured out how to make colors more or less saturated, darker, and lighter. 4. Brown is generally made by a combinations of the three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow). Usually the best way to get to brown is to take a secondary color (orange, purple or green) and mix it with its complementary color, which is a primary color. This will result in a brownish shade, then add colors you need to make it the correct hue. 5. To tone down a color, you generally just have to add the color's complementary color, which is the color across from your color on the color wheel.
