What I know..

The primary colors are blue red and yellow. The secondary colors are purple, green and orange. You create secondary colors by mixing primary colors. Complimentary colors are the colors opposite of eachother on the color wheel. Two ways you can emphasize something in a painting are using color and placement. If I were trying to create a shadow on an object in a painting I would realize where the light source is and shadow in the opposite direction. IF i were painting an object and I wanted to to create the illusion of a highlight on it i would take a lighter color, realize where the light source is and paint as if this light source is hitting the object. IF i were trying to make an object loolk like its far away I would put it at the top of the page and make it really small. To create a painting i find a picture, make a sketch and start!
