Once you have tried the exercise, you will understand the basic skills needed in deciding which colour scheme is right for your own paintings. You will learn about the colour wheel, primary colours, secondary colours, tertiary colours, warm and cool colours, monochromatic colour palettes, high key colour palettes, tints, shades, complementary colour palettes, analogous palettes and split complementary palettes. While doing this exercise we will use only one colour composition for us to decide which palette works best with the composition. At the end of the course, with my own colour sketches of each of the palettes I show you how I critique a colour sketch and decide which piece is best to paint in a larger format. Master artists from all over the world and throughout history have used many of these colour palettes regularly and now you will too. Each of the exercises will be fun and you will learn a lot of skills in order for you to create great abstracts on your own.
