Color Theory

The Color Wheel
• The color wheel fits together like a puzzle - each color in a specific place.
• Being familiar with the color wheel not only helps you mix colors when painting, but in adding color to all your art creations.

Primary Colors• Primary colors are not mixed from other
elements and they generate all other colors.
• Red
• Yellow
• Blue

Secondary Colors• By mixing two primary colors, a secondary
color is created.
• Red + Yellow = Orange• Yellow + Blue = Green• Blue + Red = Purple

• Intermediate, or Tertiary, colors are created by mixing a primary and a secondary.
• red-orange• yellow-
orange• yellow-green
• blue-green• blue-purple• red-purple
Tertiary Colors

• Warm colors are found on the right side of the color wheel.
• They are colors found in fire and the sun. Warm colors make objects look closer in a painting or drawing.

• This is an illustration of the use of warm colors - reds, oranges and yellows.

• Cool colors are found on the left side of the color wheel.
• They are the colors found in snow and ice and tend to recede in a composition.

• Note the cool color scheme in this painting (greens, purples and blues).

• The principles of color mixing let us describe a variety of colors, but there are still many colors to explore.
• The neutral colors contain equal parts of each of the three primary colors.
• Black, white, gray and sometimes brown are considered "neutral”.

• Color values are the lights and darks of a color you create by using black and white (‘neutrals”) with a color. This makes hundreds of more colors from the basic 12 colors of the wheel.
• white + color = tint
• color + black = shade
Color Values
![Page 12: Color Theory - amandapowellsellars.weebly.comamandapowellsellars.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/9/1/26910614/colour_… · • Color Schemes are a systematic way of using the color wheel](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053009/5f0ce9707e708231d437be85/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Tints are lightened colors.
• Always begin with white and add a bit of color to the white until the desired tint is obtained.
• This is an example of a value scale for the tints of blue.

• Shades are darkened colors.
• Always begin with the color and add just a bit of black at a time to get the desired shade of a color.
• This is an example of a value scale for the shades of blue.

• Color Schemes are a systematic way of using the color wheel to put colors together… in your art work, putting together the clothes you wear, deciding what colors to paint your room…..
Color Schemes
monochromatic, complementary, analogous, warm and cool.

• “Mono” means “one”, “chroma” means “color”… monochromatic color schemes have only one color and its values.
• The following slide shows a painting done in a monochromatic color scheme.
Monochromatic

• This non-objective painting has a monochromatic color scheme - blue and the values (tints and shades) of blue.
![Page 17: Color Theory - amandapowellsellars.weebly.comamandapowellsellars.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/9/1/26910614/colour_… · • Color Schemes are a systematic way of using the color wheel](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053009/5f0ce9707e708231d437be85/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel provided a high contrast - if you want to be noticed wear complementary colors!
Complementary

• This painting has complementary colors and their values - blues and oranges.

• The analogous color scheme is 3-5 colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
• This combination of colors provides very little contrast.
Analogous

• Analogous colors are illustrated here: yellow, yellow-green, green and blue-green.

Painting Tips• When mixing paint ALWAYS add the dark
colour to the light colour.
• To make a colour more dull, add a bit of its complement (this is useful when painting shadows).
• Clean your brush before changing colours.

Painting Tips• When mixing paint, use a dry brush and work
quickly before the paint dries.
• Only pour out/mix as much paint as you need for one class.

Painting Clean Up• Wash and dry your brushes after every class.
Do not leave them in water.
• Store clean, dry brushes in the proper containers with the bristles pointing up.
• Pour unused paint into the proper containers and make sure the lids are fastened.

Painting Clean Up• All mixing trays must be cleaned, dried, and
stacked neatly by the sink.
• Tidy your table’s basket and put it back in the proper place at the end of class.
• Make sure the sink is clean and empty before you leave.
• Wipe your table with a damp cloth if it is messy.
