After doing a color wheel and a color matrix, it was now time to try my hand at black and shades of grey. I started with an even mix of Prussian Blue and orange made from an even mix Cadmium Yellow and Alizarin Crimson. It looks very black on the canvas. I then added more and more white to get shades of grey. It turned into a beautiful battleship grey which had a very slight blue tint to it.
The bottom row of colors are where I mixed Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Red Medium and Cadmium Red Light with different shades of the grey paint. The mix with the yellow turned green so you can definitely tell that it was a blue-grey paint mixture. It created colors that I didn't have matches for on my previous exercise of creating tints.
