Creating a colour wheel eye is a captivating way to explore colour theory through art. To begin, gather essential materials: a blank canvas or thick paper, a set of watercolours or acrylic paints, a palette, brushes, and a compass or a round object to trace.

Start by sketching a large circle at the centre of your canvas. Next, divide the circle into twelve equal segments, like slicing a pie. These segments will represent the primary colours: red, blue, and yellow, along with their secondary mixtures: green, orange, and purple.

Once your segments are marked, begin painting. Apply the primary colours in their respective sections, making sure to use vibrant shades. Afterward, blend each primary with its neighbouring primary to create the secondary colours. For example, mix red and yellow to produce a bright orange, and paint it into the adjacent segment.

Finally, once the colours have dried, you can add a layer of detail by outlining the segments or adding small labels to indicate the different colours. This colour wheel eye not only serves as a visually appealing piece of art but also as an educational tool to help understand the relationships between colours.
