Color and Light - Premixing Chapter 7

MIXING COLOR STRINGS

  • A color string is a group of prepared paint blobs of a given hue mixed with a palette knife in a set of steps from light to dark.  
  • saves time to prepare before you start painting 

GAMUT MAPPING 

  • The entire group of possible colors for a painting is called the gamut.  
  • the gamut for a triadic scheme would be a triangle 
  • start with parent colors everything you mix will come from them.  
  • You can mask over a painting with gamut colors to unify it even more 
SHAPES OF COLOR SCHEMES 


The most common shape is the triangle 
hues directly next to each other are harmonious 

MIXING A CONTROLLED GAMUT 
  • remove tube colors 
  • try not to mix too many after initial mixing plan 

COLOR SCRIPTING 
  • Sequential art needs to consider previous and future color schemes as a whole 
  • consider the change in color schemes and what it means
