Do you wish you could paint more color harmony paintings?

Have you tried using the color wheel to achieve your color harmony paintings?

Color Harmony Paintings

Believe it or not learning to paint color harmony paintings is not as hard as it may seem at first. Many find that after using the techniques I give you here, they are able to see the world in a totally new way as they learn about color. Here are some suggestions to get you started. Once you have the basics down it will be easier to use these instructions to fit your needs, paint distinctive, and stimulating paintings. Today we learn to tell the story of color as we make harmonious paintings.

Using the artist color wheel is the place to start with your color harmony paintings. From here we learn to create a pleasing arrangement of color, producing rich, vibrant paintings.

I want to make a painting using the primary color of blue. There are many different pigments of blue to make as you will see on the wheel. As you turn the wheel many different combinations will be seen. So, let’s make a tint, tone and shade of blue. Choose Cobalt Blue for this exercise.

First make a puddle with blue adding just enough water to be fluid enough to drip off the end of your brush.

From this puddle make another puddle use enough water to make it very soupy and it creates a tint.

From the original puddle make another puddle and take enough to mix with grey making a tone of blue.

And, third, again from the original puddle make another puddle and take enough to mix with Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Umber to make a lively black or dark color creating shade.

As we continue to learn to make color harmony paintings, decide what colors to use with blue. Turn your wheel to the Illustration of Color Relationships or Harmonies side, decide if you want to paint a complimentary, split complementary, triad or tetrad color scheme.

For the sake of simplicity choose the split-complementary color scheme and find the triangle in the center, turn the dial to blue and notice that the complementary colors are yellow-orange and red-orange. These are tertiary colors, in other words one primary color and one secondary color mixed together.

As you see, choosing harmonious colors is the first step to color harmony paintings.
