Here is an additional reel to answer some of the questions from my last reel that went viral! I tried to keep this as simple as possible, I hope it helps other painters out there. It's hard to condense something like this into 45 seconds. Yes you can use 2 colors, or more than 3, and the shape doesn't have to be a triangle. Experiment and see what you can come up with! Have fun.

For a more detailed explanation check out @jamesgurneyart blog posts and his amazing book on Color & Light. His work has inspired me massively over the years!

If you have questions let me know in the comments.

Sometimes before jumping into a painting it can be helpful (and fun) to do a quick palette test to see what your color options are. Everyone has a slightly different way of creating these. You could use a hexagon shape, or triangle, or start with a different number of colors. It's up to you.

 At the end you can see an example of how I've used these to understand my color range before starting a painting.

Description I'm learning both color and composition with these little paintings. The limited color choices force me to think outside of the box while I start to understand how each color interacts with each other. And the composition part is pretty simple, haha. I plan to keep doing these, they're actually quite helpful! Not to mention like, really super fun.

By Adriana Guidi in Art Tutorials > Painting Tutorials When you’re first taught to paint with a limited palette, you’re usually given three primary colors—red, yellow and blue. Limiting yourself to just a few colors teaches you how to mix colors correctly, see value and temperature, and encourages thought and planning in your color choices.

by TJ Cunningham“Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.”Claude Monet Eleven years ago, I was beginning my young career as a professional artist. Having just graduated from college, I had spent the last four years surrounded by my classmates and teachers. Suddenly, I felt like I had been launched into outer space. Until that point, I had focused solely on drawing correctly, but I slowly realized that all of my paintings had a greyish-brown tint to them. Despite having at least 12…
