Course work: Painted the color circle (Project One), using the specified colors. The mixture of crimson and ultramarine blue makes a very dark, rather brownish violet that photographs as black; had I been given my choice, I would have mixed violet with pthalocyanine blue and alizarin crimson. The mixture of cadmium yellow and lemon yellow can be distinguished from its neighbors only in a strong light. I was unable to get a good uniform application of crimson or ultramarine blue. In other respects, the project went about as I had anticipated.
