Get ready to dive straight into painting with COLOUR THEORY— this is all about hands-on learning! Mixing paint is a joyful way to uncover beautiful new colours. As we explore the principles of value, hue, saturation, and contrast, you’ll see how they can bring your artwork to life with depth and vibrancy. Don’t worry about making a mess— every mix is an adventure and unexpected combinations often lead to delightful surprises. With just a handful of colours, there’s endless potential for creativity!
What is a limited palette? (only primary colours)
Using a limited palette means keeping the number of colours in your painting to a minimum. The idea is that you can mix the primary colours—red, yellow, and blue—to get a ton of different hues. The main aim of this approach is to create a nice balance of colours, make it easier to choose which ones to use, and have better control over how they work together in your artwork.
