Color Fundamentals Class

I thought I would post some of my projects as they come up so I can see the progression. Some of the projects will be very very rough and bad because I have not sketched or done any basic techniques in several years. Let me know what you think.

Color Branding....Basically why do they use certain colors and what do those colors make you feel. I choose Orbits gum and I went from there. Color Wheel - painted wheel and labeled. The paint I used was Gouache so you can see the colors pretty well, but the orange I did in acrylic so you can't see it clearly.

I pressed these petals and then started thinking they looked a little like butterfly wings. It was probably late at night or I was low on sleep but I glued them to the inside of my sketchbook. Just a touch of whimsy..who can pass that up. Plus the colors stayed nice after drying out..to go with my color class theme.
