"COLOUR IS NOT INTENDED TO DESCRIBE BUT TO EVOKE." -LE CORBUSIER

Oklahoma is derived from the Choctaw Indian words "okla" meaning people and "humma" meaning red. Oklahoma is my home. Tinctoria is Latin, meaning to dye or color things; this is my work.

The Three Primaries

Canoe Trip Buffalo River, 2009
Color is visual language. The basics of color theory gives us an understanding of how colors interact with one another. 

The three primary colors in the pigment spectrum are RED, YELLOW and BLUE. All other colors are made up of primary colors, but the primary colors cannot be made from any of the other colors in the spectrum. 
They are first and powerful and the color wheel is designed around RED, YELLOW and BLUE. 
The primary colors can be found in unlikely places with subtle proportions and accents.
