Mixed Colors Unit

Here's the most recent results from the dyeing class I'm taking. There were three different "experiments' of various mixtures of colors assigned, each is shown in one column. These are all combined in the dye solution, not over-dyed like in the previous units.
First up, on the left, trying for various shades of a color. Combinations of dye colors from top to bottom: Red-Orange+Violet, Blue-Violet+Red-Orange, Violet+Orange, Red-Violet+Orange

Next, on the right, Analogous combinations, from top to bottom: Yellow-Green+Green, Blue+Blue-Violet, Blue-Green+Green, Red+Violet-Red
 Finally on the right, Complementary color combinations. From top to bottom: Yellow+Violet, Red+Green, Yellow-Green+Violet-Red, Blue-Violet+Yellow-Orange.
I think this one is my favorite out of the twelve. Sure, it looks kinda like a bruise, but the way the colors split and combined as well as the patterning from the rubber bands in the upper right really look like something to me.

I'm really learning a lot more about how the pure colors work alone and in combination, this is going to be really useful going forward.
