DEGAS' use of "Broken Color"

Another master of color in drawing, Edgar Degas used pastels on these images of dancers and women.
Look how he has LAYERED up the colors to make a shimmering quality.

Consider copying his mark making techniques... lines, cross hatch, dots, and other layering techniques...

Using Color in Drawing

Explore the idea of "Broken Color", by recreating a sample sheet of color experiments. Create a sample ( one color inside another) for each of these categories: Hot and cold color reactions, color complements together, a value change, a saturation change, and create three samples of color marks to create a "shimmer" effect..... OPTICAL mixing of colors...

Here is a sample sheet:
