1.  The color wheel was relatively easy to make.  But the value scale was really, really hard.  I found it quite difficult to control how hard I pressed with the pencil and things like that.  It took much longer to do my scale then my color wheel, but I found the color wheel more fun.

2. I enjoyed working with the paints far more.  It's much easier to apply and to mix then trying to get the pencil to grade.  Painting is relaxing!

3. Well I suppose the most important "discovery" was just how hard it was to make a grey gradient with just one pencil.  It looks relatively easy, and I suppose if you use different/multiple pencils then it is easier.  But with just one pencil it was very, very difficult for me.

4. I suppose the most important information I got from the videos was that the primary colors for painting were "wrong."  Like, I knew about yellow/magenta/cyan for printer primary colors, but I didn't know it had transferred to painting. Or that the secondary colors were now green/red/blue, instead of green/orange/purple.  I want purple/violet to be a secondary color again.
