Traditional Painting (RYB)
RYB uses pigments, similar to CMY, which combine subtractively by absorbing light. Thus, combining colors using the RYB system will result in a darker color. The composition is red + yellow = orange, yellow + blue = green, and blue + red = purple.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or painting:
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
