COLOR, Day 8

OK, wrapping up Lesson 5.

Here's my final study; I like this little piece:

Color #8, exploration started

Color #8, exploration enhanced
---
two warm roughly analogous colors predominate;
one cool neutral sits on the edge in small doses in three places;
 transitions in hue and value are soft in the red-orange area;
more dramatic changes in value and some saturation appear in the magenta area;
the celadon bits have some value change and saturation, and remind me how effective
neutrals can be in getting other colors to pop—much more contrast exists between
celadon and magenta and between celadon and red-orange
than between magenta and red-orange;
the contrast between magenta and red-orange is stronger 
where one is a light value and the other more saturated

On to a new lesson. Wondering what it'll be. I know I'll be away for five days of week 6—compounding the challenges, I'm guessing!
