The image above is of the color wheel used by artists. If an artist wanted to create a artwork with analogous colors, how would he/she use the color wheel to achieve this result?

• Each time the artist chose to use a certain hue, he/she would want to make sure that all hues next to it in the artwork are from the opposite side of the color wheel.

• The artist would want to choose a certain hue to begin, and then alter the hue by adding tint and tone to the hue to create values

• The artist should consider only the intensity of the colors he/she uses, since all colors work well together so long as their intensities compliment one another.
