We’ve decided to introduce you to the split-primary
palette colour theory right out of the gate.
It will give you a much better understanding of actual
paint mixing as opposed to an idealized version of
mixing “all” colours with 3 primaries. (Which isn’t ex-
actly true.)
First – you can draw out the colour wheel by hand –
or you can just print out the image and trace the lines.
Here are the steps for hand drawing:
- Trace a round object – a palette or dinner
plate or anything else that fits into the space
of your paper is fine.
2. Split the circle into thirds.
