Color wheel and Value scale

1.)I felt comfortable drawing out the value scale because I work with them all the time when I am drawing anyway, so it was a fairly quick, easy, and familiar thing for me to do. I also thought I have always done the typical 6-step color wheel the right way, but  I was wrong! I had always thought the primary colors were red, blue, and yellow, but it's more specific than that; the primaries are actually magenta, cyan, and yellow. I think a color wheel is a good way to learn about working with colors, and getting a feel for complimentary colors, and mixing.
2.) I definitely prefer working with paint (acrylic), because it involves color. Pencils or charcoal are good for learning techniques, but I am a huge fan of color which is why I prefer paint. I liked being able to mix the colors and see their results.
3.) The most important discovery for me like I mentioned before, was the fact that instead of just red, yellow, and blue, the primary colors are actually magenta, cyan, and yellow.
4.) From watching the videos, some important information I learned was, to correctly make a value scale,  it takes a sharpened pencil that has been filed down (with a nail filer). One is supposed to build up the surface gradually, creating layers of color in a circular motion. I also learned a technique that saves space, where you blend colors in the middle of the palette, while keeping solid colors on the sides of it. If you keep brushes clean, and the palette neat, the color wheel will stay neat as well.
