The following exercises will introduce you to the way tone and colour combinations can create a temperature within a painting. Look at the following images in your image gallery to see how various artists have employed this to convey a strong dynamic and temperature within their work. Take some time to read the article on Luc Tuymans and consider how he uses colour and image construction to create a mood and sensation in his paintings.

Requirements
• Full range of oils or acrylic paints.
• Water or turpentine.
• Palette (large & preferably white) that allows plenty of room for colour mixing.
• 1 primed support, A4 or A3 size (primed ply board, masonite or acrylic paper).
• Decent brushes (the more you have the better) and rags.
• A simple image, model or object. If you have trouble isolating different tones choose something that has a limited tonal range.
For this exercise you need to use a divisionist technique (of small separate marks), to paint the object in monochrome.
Things to consider
1. You should paint a monochrome painting first and then apply the colour to it.
2. To make this exercise easier use the tonal scale you made earlier as a guide.
EXERCISE 2
Requirements
• Oil or Acrylic paint – warm and cool red, warm and cool blue, warm and cool yellow.
• Palette knife.
• Palette.
• Rags.
• Water or turpentine.
• Jars.
• 1 primed support, A4 or A3 size (primed ply board, masonite or acrylic paper).
• The simple image, model or object from Exercise One.
The following exercise will familiarize you with potential tones and temperatures whilst using complimentary colours. If you are working from a model or object place the selected item on a plain sheet of paper. Ensure that whatever is behind your model to form the background is simple.

EXERCISE 3
Requirements
• Oil or Acrylic paint – warm and cool red, warm and cool blue, warm and cool yellow.
• Palette knife.
• Palette.
• Rags.
• Water or turpentine.
• Jars.
• Selection of brushes.
• 1 primed support, A4 or A3 size (primed ply board, Masonite or acrylic paper).
• The simple image, model or object from Exercise One.
Again this exercise will familiarise you with potential colour variations and temperature whilst using complimentary colours. Once again, if you are working from a model or object place the selected item on a plain sheet of paper. Ensure that whatever is behind your model to form the background is simple.
Choose a primary colour and a complimentary opposite colour for this exercise.
