The first round of color scales I made used two primary colors, for example Red to Yellow.\u00a0 It didn’t take long before I started making value scales\u00a0– taking a color to a\u00a0white and then taking a color to a black. After awhile, I started making\u00a0color scales\u00a0using complementary colors to find the earth colors and neutrals\u00a0in the middle of the color wheel or color triangle.<\/p>\n

Mixing complementaries often resulted in duplicate colors where the lines crossed in the center of the triangle. I wanted a way to avoid the lines crossing and the\u00a0“Base Mixing” system was born.\u00a0\u00a0 I still use clay from these trays\u00a0that I put together to test the\u00a0base mixing\u00a0idea.\u00a0To help you get started with the base mixing system, here’s a video that\u00a0I made two years ago with my nephew, Joey Sipos,\u00a0\u00a0showing you how to make your own Color Scales Triangle. Do\u00a0all the\u00a0scales even if you just leave them on a tray and\u00a0never string them up into a triangle! Its worth it just to see the beautiful colors in the middle.
