Color Harmony With Watercolors
Make colorful artwork without all the rigid, complex color mixing theories.
Description
Hi, and welcome to Color Harmony with Watercolors. In this class I will share color harmony tips that will help you create better art! It's a fun class and suited for all levels, so don't be intimidated if you are just starting out, join in and embrace the wonderful world of color.
The focus is color and I will be using florals as my muse. However, these ideas can be used on any subject. Even if you don't like painting flowers I still recommend you check this class out.
The class has four main sections;
Section One: I'll share a short video of the materials I use in the lessons, then I have two more short videos on some of the color mixing techniques used along the way. This should help answer any questions you may have about terminology, colors descriptions and so on.
Section Two; Tonal & Chromatic Color Harmony - This section includes two short videos on how the ideas work and I will paint a simple cube to illustrate the idea. Then I'll paint two quick floral paintings using tonal and chromatic palettes.
Section Three; Dominant Temperatures - As with the previous section I'll paint two simple cubes and then follow up with two floral demonstrations where you will get a great visual for warm and cool dominant palettes.
Section Four; Dominant Values - Again, I'll illustrate the two ideas by painting a few cubes, then I'll paint two florals using a dominant light and a dominant dark palette.
Project Time! Now, it's your turn! There's a recommended project at the end of the demonstrations so you can master these color harmony ideas. Feel free to use the templates furnished in the resources or use your own subjects. You can opt to paint florals or pick any other subject such as a landscape, still life and so on.
