Primary and Secondary Colours 2

Title: Yellow

Exercise: Using the primary and secondary colour wheel find scenes that are dominated by a single colour. With each colour that you find vary the exposure slightly to produce an image that most closely matches your desired colour.

Take your time. Try not to concentrate on artificial colours, make sure you examine the natural colours of materials too. Use the experience to develop and refine your colour sense.

Approach: Undertaking this exercise in late Autumn has proved challenging although I did find examples of foliage and the last remaining poppies. As far as possible I have tried to find naturally occurring yellows but I was drawn to the waterproof fabric as the yellow was so strong.
