I am halfway finished with creating shades of the colors. I have the primary and secondary colors done. I relearned that colors darken quickly. It takes very little of the complementary color to darken a color. I wasn't sure I would like the shades as well as I liked the tints but I do. The red tinted down to a nice, deep red. The blue turned a nice blue grey. The yellow and green was beautiful as well. Most of the colors start heading toward a shade of brown but the blue I think will darken toward black.
I have one more session to go to finish the tertiary colors and I will be done with the tints and shades of the warm color palette. I really need to do this same exercise for the cool color palette but I think it is time I get back to real painting. I will come back to the cool palette eventually.
