Using Colour
All artists need a good understanding of colour, how to mix colour and to create subtle tones. As we become more experienced using colour and colour mixing we can, if not careful, get rather stale. Occasionally, we might need to review the palette of colours we always use. Perhaps we might want to change our colour palette for something more adventurous. You may be wanting to paint abstracts rather than landscapes and are looking for a more dramatic palette of colours.
Whatever it is that you want do do with colour, there will be something here for you. Why not have a look at the article on, ‘Colour ideas for more advanced painters’. Maybe you are into painting portraits? If you are you might find, ‘Mix great flesh tones in acrylic’ really interesting.
Whatever ways you are using colour, there are bound to be some new ideas here for you to explore.
