You continue mixing complementary color mixes with yellow-green and red-purple in this lesson. I will walk you through the steps of mixing the two desaturated yellow-greens and two desaturated red-purples. You will mix and place each of the four mixes onto your template, moving across the color wheel. By the end of this lesson, as shown below, your color wheel will have more colors across the interior of the color wheel, from yellow-green to red-purple.

There are four (4) video parts to this lesson. At the end of the lesson, click on the “Complete and Continue” button at the top right corner or the bottom of the lesson page. Doing so will help the system remember what you have completed and what you have not.

I suggest the following to have a better experience in the studio community.

• Please double-check to ensure the “Receive instructional and promotional emails from RL Caldwell Studio.” is turned on in your student account under the “Edit Profile” section. If this is not turned on, I can not communicate with you about class updates. If you don’t want me to send you any promotional emails, I don’t send many; email me with your request, and I’ll make sure to remove your email from my promotional email list.
• While you are in the “Edit Profile” section, turn on the “ Email me when someone responds to my comments” and “Email me when someone comments on a discussion I've commented on.” By doing this, you will have a more robust experience with other Artists in the community.
• Also, let the other artists know who you are by adding a profile image to your account let other artists know who you are. Teachable uses Gravatar, and creating an account to set up your profile image is very easy.

I look forward to seeing your progress, and I’ll see you in the next lesson of the course!
