Back to the Basics
In this course, I dive into the fascinating world of color theory. I explain valuable concepts and how the color wheel helps us understand and use colors effectively in our artwork. We explore different groups of colors, such as primary colors, warm and cool colors, analogous colors, and complementary colors. I also discuss the importance of value in creating depth and form in our paintings. Join me for a 15-minute crash course on color theory!
Once you've got your wits about you, you'll get three tutorials to practice what you've learned.
What's included
Complimentary Colors
In this course you'll learn the complexity and numerous benefits of working with complimentary colors. Learn how to neutralize colors as you blend to create this simple mountainscape.
Color Mixing
Play with color mixing as you playfully draw and paint a rainbow assortment of mugs. This tutorial will provide you an opportunity to play with analogous colors as you mix and work across the color wheel.
Layers of Value
Creating tones, tints and shades in watercolor is different than other paints. In this lesson you'll put into practice layering the values to create form and texture in your painting.
