Problem Statement: Define the colors that are in your images using the color aid packet. Take one image and identify all the color within the "visible and undertone" areas. Take all those colors and place them in a quantity relationship interval. Take the neutrals and find their parents.
1st EDIT: Playing with color, Fluting & Seeing Color
I chose one of my final images from the leaf/shadow project to use as my image for my color study. I chose it because of the variety of texture that was illustrated in the photo and I felt like there were so many hidden tones in it. At first, it was hard to distinguish immediately what the visible colors were. I was trying to match the colors from my color aid to the exact value of the color in my image. That just made it harder for me to pick/distinguish colors and it slowed me down. I then learned that there are different color values within a photo, not just one. So instead of trying to match the same value, I could pick the same color in a different value that's close, and it would still be in the photo.
The next step was trying to understand color more by learning how the "flute" worked and seeing color being pulled from another to reveal what colors were in it. I had the most difficulty with this and had to spend a lot of time working with color to get my eye used to seeing color vibrate off the edges of the swatch. I started off with the simplest/easiest colors: orange (red & yellow) green (yellow & blue) and purple (red and blue). Then once my eye got used to seeing colors, I moved on to defining the more challenging colors that I found in my photos (browns and undertones).
