Color Theory Mini Workshop
Learn how and why we, as painters, use color theory to create beautiful pictures. Follow along with the printable workbook above (hint: you can print it on any type of paper; it doesn’t matter!), or follow along with a blank sheet or two of regular paper as you watch the guided class video.
Some materials you will need to take this workshop class include:
- One paintbrush
- Something to mix paints with (such as paint spatulas, popsicle sticks, even a butter knife)
- Something to mix paints on (like a palette or a paper plate)
- A water cup and towel or napkin (for brush cleaning)
- Acrylic paints in these colors:
- White
- Red
- Blue
- Yellow
In this workshop, you’ll get a crash course on color theory, plus you’ll learn all about primary, secondary, and tertiary/intermediate colors. And, if that all sounds foreign to you, don’t worry—it won’t for long.
