Process
Steps to colour mixing in a colour wheel
step 1: With your blank sheet of paper, take your pencil and use a circular object to make a circle. make sure to align the circle at far end of the page.
step 2: Take a ruler and sections the circle into 6 equal parts.
step 3: You will begin to colour by adding the primary colours. As you add the first colour skip 1 section so that the coulours will be opposite to each other. This means they are complementary colours.
step 4: After this step there will be 3 sections that are not colours. Those are where you will be mixing your 2 primary colours to make your secondary cololour.
step 5: Paste the complete work neatly into your crap-book.
