Note: I used Guerra Paint to achieve the Blue Green mixture, but for the white, I used the Golden Fluid Acrylic. I'm not sure if I should mix these two brands or medium together because the Fluid Acrylic is thicker and more full-bodied already. I didn't add a lot of white to achieve the LT (Lightest Tint) of Blue Green, to compensate for the existing opacity of the paint.
Observation: Not obvious in this scan is the fact that the Coloraid row is a tinge yellower than the Paint mixture row. I didn't bother adding yellow into the mixture to really mirror the Coloraid swatch because the task is really an exercise in tinting - applying light/white onto a color/pure hue.
Rationale for Reinterpretation: I reinterpreted the tints in an ascending staircase manner instead of a descending one in our teacher's blog because 1) I didn't want to mimick the homework that was already done for us on the class blog; and, 2) because it makes more sense to me that the light will rise from a sort of horizon, instead of falling down from the sky. (And here I go again being poetic) I think that light will move just like temperature does. And since it is synonymous to warmth (the brighter something is, the warmer it must be, like an actual flame), then I figure that light, just like hot air, rises.
