This card is from SVS Magic of Color.

This lesson is about how to select colors for a piece. Beginners especially just pick random colors based on the true local color of objects, but color really needs to be designed just like shape and light. In this lesson we just pick some basic colors and learn how to work with them to add light and shadow, and get a feel for how to pick colors to convey an emotion. Some of the ideas were harder to work with, I feel like a lot of it is by feel instead of having a set plan. We’ll see how it develops.

Next time I will work with this in watercolor just to try that out as well. I also need to try working with a range of colors and not just pure red, blue, and yellow.

I did 30 minutes working through the class, then another 30 minutes to complete this image.
