In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of color theory for painting. You will practice on color mixing principles using gouache techniques. All practices will help you to understand the relationship between complimentary colors and color values to settle them in a composition.
The practises in this course, encourage you to discover relationships between colors and their values. Through making value maps, using graphite, you can assign light and dark values to the sets of color based on natural objects and atmospheric perspective. By analysing the colors, you can describe them, and as a result, you would be able to convey what you see in nature into your art through proper color mixing methods.

By practising on making colourful grey tones, you will learn color values, and will represent those values into an artwork depicting what you see in nature. Observing colors in nature and recreating them with any medium is an incredibly complex area which needs dedicated practice.
In course 7, we will review commonly misunderstood terms; value, tone, hue, saturation, shade, and tint. You will learn all these terms practically through 8 lessons using gouache techniques.

By analysing the colors, you can describe them, and as a result, you would be able to convey what you see in nature into your art through proper color mixing methods. By completing 4 separate practices, you will learn to create variety of effects applying gouache paint, and being improved in practical use of color in painting.
At the end of the course, you will be reflecting your knowledge of color theory developing your language and style through creating a painting. This approach helps you to explore the subject on your own language being ready to practice more advanced mediums as well as unconventional techniques through upper courses.
