Skillshare - Unlocking Color Theory: Powerful Watercolor Painting Exercises with Secondary Colors

• Secondary colours orange, green, and violet hold a special kind of magic. In this class, we’ll explore how these three expressive hues can form the backbone of stunning, harmonious watercolour paintings. Whether you're just beginning your journey with colour or looking to deepen your understanding, this class offers a creative and practical approach to mastering secondary colour relationships.  We’ll begin with a series of hands on exercises, mixing swatches, experimenting with pigment pairings, and exploring colour triangles and wheels to visualise balance and contrast. Then, we’ll put everything into practice with a final project: a striking rose painted entirely using orange, green, and violet. You’ll see how much depth, atmosphere, and visual interest can be achieved with a limited palette.
