the greyscale was a little challenging because of the number of samples that looked alike towards the darker side of the scale. 

this was the first scale so it also took more tries to get the consistency of the paint just right.

this scale was one of the assignments that i enjoyed the most. the red and pink chips turned out very consistent and the colours looked beautiful.

this scale was was also interesting to work on because of the rich shades that were produced on mixing red with black.

a) scale with india ink 

this gave a water colour like effect and resulted in dull colours.

c) lipstick stains that were imprinted on paper after one application of lipstick to the lips. this showed the reduction in pigment after each imprint.

 

learning from mistakes

the first attempt to the grey and colour scales was done with acrylic paints which resulted in very patchy application. moreover, the darks looked extremely dark and there was not a gradual change in color throughout the scale.
