How to mix shadow colors (yellow)

In conjunction with the three dimensional colored forms assignment, here's how to mix some shadow colors for yellow. We always want to use a colors compliment when creating a shadow color, yet we also want to retain the "yellowness" of the color itself, so be careful about allowing the Pthalo blue to overpower everything, and don't be afraid to add more yellow to it, so we know it's a yellow shadow color, as opposed to a violet one! If you want to create the painting this exercise is designed for head to www.painting-course.com/painting-intensive/three-dimensional-colored-forms and work from one of the images you find there! You can mention me on Instagram as @paintingcourse or tag your work with #paintingcourse . I love seeing what everyone has been up to, and then you can see what others have been doing as well!
