Let's take a closer look at the two new groups of colors we will be focusing on:
WARM COLORS & COOL COLORS

<<<------------------------------------

WARM & COOL
Colors groups can be found on opposite sides of the
Color Wheel

Why are they called
WARM and COOL colors?

The Warm Colors
remind you of real life things that are actually HOT or WARM

The SUN often looks Yellow and Orange

LAVA from a Volcano is Red

Flames from Fire is Orange, Yellow, and Red

The Grass is NEVER too hot, even in the heat of summer. It is always cool to walk on.

The ocean is cooler, and can even have ice in it.

Grapes are just one example of a purple fruit that grows outside naturally and will never burn your throat if you eat it.

The Cool Colors often remind you of things that are COOL or Cold to the touch.

STEP 4:
Follow the video below to:
-use our WARM COLORS to add color to our Pumpkins!
