Color plays a huge role in making visual compositions look harmonious and cohesive.
🌟 Whether you draw or paint, you can benefit from deepening your understanding of Color Theory because it will make the art-creation process easier and will help you arrive at better results.
The color wheel is an essential tool that helps us understand color relationships so that we can do two things:
👉 Know which colors to reach for as we're painting so that we can develop the range of hues, values and saturations we need.
👉 It helps us plan which colors we'll be bringing into our drawings or paintings so that we arrive at the effects we're after, and to communicate the mood, message, idea or story, we want to communicate to the viewer.
🚩 Don't forget that it helps you, not only WHILE you're painting, but also BEFORE you begin, as you're planning and preparing.
Always go in with a strategy and plan your colors!
Thanks for reading and enjoy your art practice. 💕👩🎨
