Class Overview: Learn how to create a multitude of colors from just 3 cool and 3 warm primary watercolors: Brights, Neutrals, Darks, Secondary Colors, and everything in-between can be made from this introductory 6-watercolor tube set made by Daniel Smith. Simplify your watercolor practice without needing to purchase every color separately, and by learning to mix your own colors, it will help you create more harmonious paintings!
What You Will Learn: I will demonstrate creating various colors with these 6 primaries (red, yellow and blue in warm and cool tones), and give you a foundational understanding of color theory and how it helps your paintings.
I will show you how to create bright and subdued secondary colors by creating a warm and a cool value color wheel. You will also learn how to create vibrant and subdued neutrals in a variety of hues, and even how to mix your own luminous and interesting gray and black colors.
You will learn how to achieve these colors by pre-mixing paint from the tubes, as well as letting them blend wet-into-wet, and also by glazing (transparent layers over dried paint.)
For the final project, you will learn how to paint an Autumn Leaf by using many of the skills, techniques, and color-mixing knowledge you learned in the previous lessons.
