Negative Painting Exercise

I painted this exercise in watercolor but you can do it in any medium you have. I listed the colors I used below but again use what you have.

Hansa Yellow (light cool yellow)

New Gamboge yellow (medium warm yellow)

Cobalt blue (medium cool blue)

Quinacridone red (medium cool red)

For this exercise I used a 6×6” square and made my smaller squares 2×2”, but you can make it any size you want.
