A Triadic Color Scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. To use a triadic harmony successfully, the colors should be carefully balanced – let one color dominate and use the two others for accent.
Adding white or black to any of these colors changes the Tint or Shade giving you either a lighter or darker color. When looking at the color schemes above, keep in mind that, using tints and shades add a world of variety to the basic schemes above. You can change the tint and/or shade of your colors and still follow either a primary, triadic or analogous scheme.
Now, the Challenge! Find these three objects...a peice of fruit...a small bowl...something glass and cloth for the backdrop. Place all objects in your lightbox with a strong light strong source and paint using a Triadic Colour Scheme of your chosing!!

Wow! ....what an exciting challenge Ree ....it does sound really challenging too!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the Triadic colour scheme .... I'd better start this one before next Wednesday!!! I'm excited!
Neat challenge Ree, but you can't count woman. That is 4 things rotflol
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this right, I need a small bowl, a piece of fruit, AND a glass object. I have to set it all up my light box, with a cloth background..? Sheesh you don't want much hahaha.
This should be fun!!
Hmm..my light box may be a little small. This may be a set it up on the table type thing. hehe Looks fun. I hope colored pencils are alright to do this in since hubby is trying to save money and spent a lot of money on them to make me happy. lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you girls are excited enough to want to have a go at this challenge...I think it will stretch us a bit but that's what a challenge is all about and how we handle something outside our comfort zone! We'll have fun, I'm sure...:P Hehe!
ReplyDeleteYes, Charity, you can join in too, with your coloured pencils and I'm looking forward to seeing your work in colour! ;)
Yep...JJ, I know I counted incorrectly, none of us are perfect, you know, plus I'm older than you and more decrepit, so I have a good excuse....! ROTFLMAO!!!
I don't possess a light box Ree but I will try to set up something tricky with shadows and reflections if that is what you are looking for.
ReplyDelete((*****I'm older than you and more decrepit, so I have a good excuse....! ROTFLMAO!!!****)) You got that right haaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha. I am only 35!
ReplyDeleteColleen she means you to use the light box I suggested everyone make. Look at this link.. http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles2/2514/127/
