About This Class

Did you go to art school? If you don’t have formal training but you love making art, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by some of  the “language” of art. What you probably want to do is to learn some concepts and practice making beautiful paintings, right? That’s the goal here! 

Calling all beginner artists! In this color theory class for even the newest beginner, we’ll keep it simple and focus on 3 color properties: hue, value, and intensity…and of course make a few quick and fun projects along the way.

Whether you choose to use these words in your art vocabulary or not is up to you, but you’ll end this class with three concepts to think about, which can help you make color choices as you create your own art! 

Hopefully this will be the first class in a series where we simplify art words for art nerds like ourselves, who probably did not go to art school.

What you’ll learn:

  • Three color properties: hue, value, and intensity.
  • Examples and a quick project page to practice each one.
  • How to think about using these properties as you create your own artwork.

Who might enjoy this class:

  • Beginner artists who want to learn the very basics of color theory. 
  • Artists who have experienced frustration when selecting colors.
  • Anyone who might enjoy a quick and simple project. 

I’ve included A downloadable workbook full of quick and simple mini projects to help you practice each concept.

For this class you will need just three supplies:

  1. The class workbook printed on the paper of your choice (thick card stock, acrylic paper, watercolor paper, etc).
  2. Your favorite art medium. I’ll be using acrylic paint, but you could use gouache, watercolor, colored pencils, or even crayons. 
  3. Paint brushes 

We’ll walk through each color property and workbook project so that you feel confident with the process and excited to make decisions about your own art. You’ll end this class with a cute little mug painting that you can share in the project section. 

Please keep in touch with me on Instagram @amielynnmurray (I love to see your projects there)! Or, by joining my monthly email crew, where I offer my latest updates, freebies, first access, and other fun goodies. 

I believe everyone is an artist and I'm so glad you are here!

I grew up in an art studio. My mom taught children’s art classes and we had a studio in our home - right off the kitchen. You could grab a snack and sit down to paint a few feet away. Art always felt totally natural and I loved it.

In 2010 I decided to take art from hobby to a full time career. Since then I’ve painted and shipped over 1200 original paintings all over the world, and am happy to share my creative process with you.

While I will always be a painter at heart, I’ve grown to enjoy Ipad art and surface design. I like the challenge of figuring out how to relate my traditional painting to new creations in digital art. I love color, thick texture, and often p... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Welcome: Did you go to art school? I did not. And honestly, if you're like me and you love making art, but maybe don't have formal training. It can be a little overwhelming to hear all the language of art. And truly, kind of intimidating. There are a lot of art vocabulary words out there. And I've even questioned after years of painting, Do I know what these words mean? Do I know what that artist is talking about? And does it even matter? My name is Amy. I'm a lifelong painter who grew up in a home with a mom who taught art classes out of our house. Though I do not have formal art school training, I've been making art my entire life and have been running my own creative business, Murray Designs for the last 13 years. I am also a mom to three kids. Woodle named Sonny and our little bird named melody. My hope for this beginner class is to keep it simple and focus on three art words relating to color. Today's art words are the three color properties, Hue, value, and intensity. We'll learn about these three words in this quick and simple class, and we won't take all day to do it. The project in this class is a workbook. With a separate page and a quick mini project for each word. I'll be using acrylic paint on paper, but you can easily use any medium you have on hand, like watercolor, gash paint, colored pencils, or even a box of your kids crayons. By the end of this class, you'll have a good understanding of hue, value, and intensity. Now, do you have to use fancy art words in order to make beautiful art? No. Whether you choose to use these words in your art vocabulary or not is completely up to you. But you'll end this class with a few tools to help you make color decisions about your own art. Hopefully, this will be the first class in a series of classes where we unpack art words for art nerds like ourselves who probably did not go to art school. Let's move on and talk a little bit more about the class project. 2. Project and Resources: For the class project, you'll find a downloadable and printable workbook in the class resources section. If you have the capability to print this on a thicker specialty paper, That might work out for the best, but if not, don't worry about it and don't let that hold you back. For example, if you're using acrylics, you can print out your workbook on a thick card stock or even acrylic paper, if you have that. If you're using watercolor, you might be able to print your workbook out on watercolor paper. No need to use top quality. An quality watercolor paper will be just fine for this. I printed mine out on a thick card stock paper, but truly use what you have and don't let a material like paper hold you back from completing the work. On each page of the workbook, we will talk about the color property definition. We'll look at an example, and there's a space for a fun mini project to help you remember hue, value, and intensity. Feel free to share a photo of your project in the project section of the class. You can share any page of the workbook, but I think the most fun one to share will be our last bonus project since everyone's will be a little bit different. You really don't need many supplies for this class. But in the next section, we'll briefly talk about the supplies that you do need for this. 3. Supplies: There are not many supplies needed for this class. All you will need is the workbook printed out on the paper of your choice and your favorite art medium to complete the workbook. I will be using acrylic paint. But please feel free to use any art medium you have on hand. Watercolor paint works really well. Guash paint is another great choice. Colred pencils or even crayons can work just fine. You can learn about hue, value, and intensity with any kind of art medium. Let's jump in and talk about our very first art word. Hue. 4. First Art Word - Hue: It's time to talk about our first of three art words, and that is Hu. Hu is super simple. It is a fancy word for the name of the color. Yep, that's it. Blue, red, green, yellow, orange, purple. These are all hues. If a color has a name, then that is its hue. Let's look at an example from a famous artist. This is a painting painted by Claude Monet called Chrysanthemums. We can clearly see contrasting hues of red, yellow, pink, white, and blue. A very different example is the tragedy by Pablo Pacaso. This is a good example of a monochromatic painting where the artist paints with variations of just one hue. In this case, he used blue. Now it's time to think about your own artwork. What types of hues do you like to use when you paint or make your own art? Do you like using primary colors? Do you like complimentary colors to contrast with one another? Do you like analogous colors that live next to each other on the color wheel? There are a lot of choices you can make relating to hue as you make your art? It's important to know the definition so that you can then think through that and think through your own choices? For our hue mini project, we are going to fill in the color wheel on page two of your workbook? We are just sticking to the basics here. There are very complicated color wheels out there, but we are going to focus on our three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue, and our three secondary colors, orange, purple, and green. If you don't have the exact primary hues that you need for this, don't let that hold you back. It is more about the process than creating the perfect color wheel. Just use the closest color you have. 5. Hue Mini Project: All right. I have the second page of the workbook here. H u, and we have a really simple color wheel. What I'm going to do might get my paint brush tiny bit wet. I'm just going to fill in each primary color starting with yellow. I find it quite relaxing. To do coloring exercises like this where you don't have to make any decisions. You're just kind of filling in the color. The yellow I am using is just a yellow light. It's kind of a lemony shade of yellow. Use what you've got, though. If you have a yellow crayon, use a yellow crayon. And I'm going to fill in my next color. The red I'm using is Naphthal crimson. I'm filling in my primary red triangle. Now, primary colors, if you're newer to color theory, these are just the colors that can't be mixed. You couldn't find two colors together to make yellow. It's primary. You could make different types of yellows by mixing colors together. But you're never going to be able to just mix a yellow. I'm moving on to blue. I'm using an ultramarine blue, but use whatever blue you have on hand. It's a little thinner, but truly, it doesn't matter if you're using a heavy bodied paint, a fluid acrylic, a craft paint, truly makes no difference. Now I've got each of my primary color spots filled in, and now is where the fun begins, we are going to do our secondary colors. Fun thing about these colors is that they are mixed by combining the two neighbors. We can start with orange. To make orange, we are going to mix our yellow and our red. I will say when you mix orange, You want to go a little heavier on the yellow and a little lighter on the red. Red can be an overpowering color. We do need more than that. But if you did equal parts red and yellow, you would have a very red looking orange. I did mostly yellow and just added in bits of red I got this nice little orange. You can just take some time and fill in your orange triangle. To make green, I'm sure you can guess, we are going to mix yellow and blue together. We mix our two neighbors. To get our secondary color. Again, yellow, yellow is just not as strong of a color. I am doing a lot of yellow. Then I will add a bit of blue in until I'm happy with the color. A little bit of blue will give you this lighter lime green. The more blue you mix into your yellow, the deeper that green hue becomes. This is a fun green, so I'm going to use it. I'm going to fill in our little green slice of the wheel here. Our final secondary color is purple. Purple you technically get by mixing a red and a blue. But purple is a little tricky. Let me show you why. If we take our primary red, add in some primary blue. It looks Yucky. I find you do need to add just a touch of white. So I've got a little titanium white here. So if you add just a bit of white, it can help you actually see the hue a little bit better. So this looks good. It's a darker purple. Often with purple, you guys eye squeeze it out of a tube, or else it ends up like this, kind of maybe even a little bit grayish. If you had, like, a pinkish red that you were mixing in with your blue, you might get a prettier shade of purple. But we're just kind of using what we have in the paint box, and so we are going to get the purple that we get. Which is this. This is our little hue mini project. It's all finished now. And it's just that simple color wheel. We have our three primary colors, three secondary colors. This was just a good opportunity to play with Hue. Hue is just the name of the color, and we've just done six quick hues right there. We are going to use this later. So set it aside, let it dry, and we'll move on. Hopefully this was a huge help for you. Next, we'll chat about value. 6. Second Art Word - Value: Now it's time to talk about value as it relates to color. Value simply means how light or dark a certain color is. To change the value of a color, we don't alter the hue at all. We simply adjust the level of white to make the value lighter or darker. A gray scale moving from black to gray to white shows a change in value without using any hue at all. Let's look at a famous example that shows a wide variety of value in a painting. James McNeil Whistler painted his mother in 18 71, and he clearly used a big range of light and dark values in this piece of art. Now that you know what value is, you can think about value as it relates to your own art. When you're drawing or painting, adding a variety of value or a variety of light and dark can help give objects a three dimensional look. So that's something you want to think about when you're creating your own art. Do you want your art to look like it has dimension? Play with a lot of value change. If you like your artwork to have a flat look, you want to keep value change to a minimum. For our value mini project, you will find two value scales to fill in on the third page of your workbook? 7. Value Mini Project: I've got the third page of my color word workbook, and this is where we are going to do a little value exercise. So we have two scales here and we're going to fill in these value scales. Remember, value is just how dark or how light a color is. What we are going to do is take a color. Any color could be the red yellow or blue that you used in the first project. I'm using turquoise deep because it is one of my favorites, and it is really fun to see the drastic change that happens as we shift the value of this color. In the very first rectangle, I am just going to fill in the color straight out of the tube. This will be the darkest value in my row of turquoise here. We are going to take the color straight out of the tube and add a bit of white. We're going to do one, two, three, six shifts in value. So you don't have to add, you know, a ton right up first. So we've shifted the value just a bit lighter, and I'm going to fill in my second rectangle. See how it already looks so different than what has come straight out of the tube just by adding a little bit of white to the paint. It has become more opaque by just adding a little bit of that white to shift the value even lighter. We're going to add a bit more white and fill in the next square. I am going to shift that value even lighter, and if you want to make it lighter, you can even start a new blue section here. Instead of adding a ton of white. You're just going to add a little blue to a lot of white. This one is really mostly white with a teeny, tiny bit of that turquoise mixed in. So we have finished our first value scale, and you can see how different it is. Just by adding white and changing the value. We didn't mix in a single other hue into the deep turquoise blue. We have created a nice, pretty shift in value. We're going to do a value scale using only gray shades. We're not using any color here. We're just using a gray scale. This technically is black. And we can start with a black square, if you would like. Or you can start with a dark gray square if that is the color that you have on hand. Now, you'll see me do the same process where I just add a bit of white and lighten it to it will still be a darker gray, and I will fill in my next rectangle. Now, I should note when I'm using acrylic paint, the way that I lighten a hue is by adding white. If you are using water color, The way that you would lighten a color is not by adding white, but by diluting your water color more and more as you move down the value scale. If you're using a medium like colored pencil or crayon, you'll just press lighter, and you'll get the same effect where you're using same hue, no hue shift, but changing the value by pressing lighter. If you're using gah paint, Gach, you can either lighten by diluting with water or adding white or a combination of both would be fine too. You could make this scale go on and on forever. You could have 100 variations of value going from darkest darkest to, like, white, basically. But I think our six rectangles really give us a good picture of value and how to change value. And now we have this pretty page in our workbook that shows us a really good example of how to do that. Now, it is a great time to pause your video and go ahead and work on your value scales with your favorite color and your gray scale. Feel free to post this in the project section so that we can see what your favorite color is too. I hope that that was quite valuable for you. Sorry for the pun. Onto our last word, intensity 8. Third Art Word - Intensity: Our last artword for this class is intensity. Intensity describes the brightness or dullness of a color. A color straight out of the tube is in its most intense form. The easiest way to tone down the intensity of a color is to add gray to that color. Or to add the opposite color, which is also called the complimentary color. For example, when we look at the most famous Monalisa by Leonardo Da vinci, we actually see a lot of low intensity colors. We don't see intense primary reds, yellows, or blues. Everything looks a little bit more subdued. Let's contrast this to this painting by Pablo Picasso, which shows us high intensity. We see bright colors in probably very close to their fullest intensity in this painting. Now you get to think about your own art. How you use intensity in your artwork is completely up to you. But the benefit of understanding that concept is that then you can make that choice for yourself. 9. Intensity Mini Project: I have my intensity page of the workbook right here. And we have two scales that we're going to do on this page. Remember, intensity is the brightness or dullness of a color. On our intensity page of the workbook, we are going to use two scales again, and we're going to shift intensity from the most intense bright color, and we're going to tone it down to be a little bit more dull as we progress. So I do think I will use this turquoise color that I used on my value scale. So if I just put my turquoise on there. This is full intensity. Just turquoise, nothing else. Muddying it up. This is beautiful to use in artwork, but there might be times where you don't always want the most intense color in your artwork. And so when that is the case, you will want to choose the opposite color from the color wheel to help tone down your color So if we grab our color wheel from our hue project, we would see that something in the blue hue like our turquoise. The opposite color is going to be an orange or an orange red, and that is going to help to tone down the color a little bit, reduce its intensity, and just make it a little more dull. I'm going to take my turquoise here. I'm just going to mix in the tiniest bit. Of that orange. We might even want more of an orange red for this. I'm just going to put that in the next little square here. Actually, this one might be a little bit hard to tell. I don't know if I mixed enough in there, but it has just reduced the intensity a little bit. I did not tone down this first color a lot, but on this next one, I will add even more of this orange red shade to the turquoise. You'll see that it becomes even more toned down. It's not really getting lighter or darker necessarily. It's simply becoming a duller version of itself, which sounds sad, but is useful in painting. So this can be useful. I like, when you're making a painting, if you find that, gosh, I finished my painting, everything just looks so bright. Nothing is standing out to me or you know, there's no good focal point because everything is just super intense. This can be a good exercise to do because you can easily reduce the intensity of certain parts of your painting. We have gone from this nice, bright, intense turquoise blue, and we have reduced the intensity by adding in the complimentary color until we ended with this kind of neutral grayish hue that still relates back to the deep turquoise, but looks completely different and quite a bit more dull. The nice thing about using a toned down version of your original color rather than just adding a different brown or a different gray is that these two colors will relate well to each other in your overall painting. This takes a little bit of practice working in the right amount of complimentary color to reduce the intensity without it just turning into, totally brown or just a color that you didn't intend. So play with it and see some different different levels of intensity and just see what you like and what you don't like about this. Another way to reduce intensity is by adding gray to a color. Let's do red for this one. We have a lot of red on the palette here that we can use up. If we want to reduce the intensity of our red, and this red is heavy bodied, so I do add a little water. We're going to add in a little bit of grey. So you can see just by adding that little bit of gray, we have taken down the intensity. So we'll add a little more gray. Reduce that intensity even more. This kind of has almost worked itself down to a true gray, but it is a gray that has a bit of a red feel to it. Again, say you were painting a red apple and you wanted to add some shadowing in certain areas? Instead of just grabbing like a black or a dark gray by using a toned down version of that color, the colors will relate to each other better in your overall painting. Here you have it. Two intensity scales done two different ways, one using a complimentary color, and one adding gray to the original color. Was that intense I mean, you knew it was coming, right? Hopefully, these three lessons have given you a simple but thorough grasp of the concepts of hue value and intensity. If you stick with me, we have one more fun bonus project that will combine all three of these color concepts together and we'll make a fun little painting along the way. 10. A Cute Bonus Project Part 1: Now, for our bonus project, we are going to combine all three of these color concepts, and we're going to paint a cute little mug. You'll find this mug sketch on the last page of your class workbook, and you're welcome to use it and just start painting right away, or you can sketch your favorite mug if you prefer. We are going to use hue value and intensity to make this little painting. And the first thing that we need to make some choices about are our colors. I'm going to use purple for my mug, and this is just some violet mixed with white. And then I'm going to use a minty green for my background. You can pick whichever colors you like. You can take a peek at your color wheel and maybe you want to choose some complimentary colors. Maybe you want to use hues that are right next to each other on the color wheel or something totally random. It's completely up to you, but the first step is just to make your decisions about the hues that you will use. I'm actually going to take this violet paint, and I'm going to do a few value changes with it because my mug is going to have some light medium and dark values. I've got my darkest, my medium, and this can be a nice light value of that violet color. The next decision I need to make is where my light source is. So for this composition, I am going to decide that my light is coming in from the top left corner. Maybe this is where the sun is shining through a window or there's a light. But everything that that touches is going to be a little bit lighter, and then everything on the other side will be a darker value. So a lot of this little mug will be a medium value. I am going to, I think, make, like, a dark stripe on the bottom of my cup. So I'm gonna leave that part for now. You know, some of the inside of the cup will be a medium. And then some will probably be darker in the more shadowy areas. Let's mark in what should we do? Lighter or darker. Let's do darkest. Our darker value is going to be on that inside of the cup where the sun is not shining. And if you notice, I'm not blending everything. I'm just sort of marking in the color. This side of my mug will also have that darker value because it is not going to be directly hit by the light source. The bottom of the handle we decided would also be a darker value because it's farther from the light, and I did want to make my stripe across the bottom. Down This is where the light source would be directly reaching our mug. I'm just painting it in, not super worried about blending. We'll blend a little. We'll not make it such a defined line right here. But for now, first coat, we're just marking in the colors. Another place that the light might be directly hitting is just right here where it first reaches the edge of the mug, and perhaps if there was a rim on this cup, it might hit the light because it'd be on the top part of the cup. And I think it's already looking kind of fun. It's stylized with the color blocking. I might take some paint like directly from the tube and do an even darker, darker value. I'm just going to mark in this bottom stripe since it's a value might have an even darker shadow. We might get a little bit of the darkest darkest here at the bottom of the handle, where light will not be hitting it, and we might even get a little bit on the inside of that cup, where It's hard for the light to reach. And so just like we did that, we're also going to mark in just a little bit of, like, super light value. And maybe this is where there's even a high light going on. And maybe, like, right here on the edge of the mug. I might even grab a little light right there. I like the look of this. You can leave it with separated colors if you want. Or, if that is not your style, you can add like a transition color in between your shades to blend it a little bit more. The choice is totally up to you. I might leave mine a little bit and not blend it in. But again, totally up to you. You can even do a mix, see how I just added a little transitional color in there, but I didn't do a ton of blending. A I kind of like mine like this. I don't want to overwork it. I think I want to just leave it B. I did not change the intensity on this. I just only worked with a value shift on this particular mug. If you wanted to have some really shadowy areas, you could tone this color down and add that in. I actually kind of like the intensity of it. So I think I'm just going to leave it just like that. We will work with intensity when we create a shadow for this c. 11. A Cute Bonus Project Part 2: For my background color, I have this, like, minty green because I love minty green. I always pick a mint green. I'm just filling in like the bottom of this tabletop area. I drew an outline for you, but you don't need to, like, use my blob shaped outline. If that bothers you and you want a square, make a square, if you want a different shape, make a different shape, or you can just use what's on the paper. So I am filling in just my regular old mint green hue on this bottom. And then I am going to change the value when we get to the top part. For the top, like the background, I'm going to just take that same minty green, but change the value and make it quite a bit lighter. And this just helps differentiate between, you know, where the cup is sitting and the background behind it. You can add variety to your background. If you want some spots to be a little lighter, some spots not as light. That is totally up to you. It can give it, kind of an interesting effect if you don't make it just one complete, completely flat shade. Just give it like a tiny bit of variety in there. Now, remember, you can use whatever colors you like. And I think this would be really fun to share in the project section because everyone's mug will look a little bit different. But it's not like such a complicated project that, you know, you couldn't finish it or you wouldn't want to share it. It's just a simple, fun little project. And so I think we should all shares and show each other what we need. You notice, I even added a little bit of that lavender into this background. It just kind of unifies it a little. It actually kind of tones it down even a little bit more by adding a different color back there. I just makes it a little more visually interesting. You can do that or not do that. It's totally up to you. Now, we are going to play with intensity a little bit right here. We are going to work with intensity change when we think about a shadow. Now, remember our light is coming in from the top left. Which means our shadow will move in the opposite direction. Our shadow will move to the right. To make the shadow, a lot of times people will just use a pure gray or even just like black. And if you look at like a tabletop and put an object on it, that's not actually the color of the shadow. The shadow is typically the color of the tabletop, which in our case is this mint green, but it's a toned down maybe slightly darker version of that color. So I am just adding gray Now, you could also use the opposite color, which in this case, would be like a reddish color because red is the opposite of green, or you can just add gray to your tabletop color, and we are going to create a shadow. And when you create the shadow, I like to do a little bit of shadow directly under the cup. So just like a line under the cup, and then swoop it out to the side, and you're going to kind of make an oval shape to connect it. If it looks weird, you can use your other paint and paint right over. Mine might be a little bit big for this cup here. I'm going to cut my shadow down a bit. A little bit out of control there. But you can add a little bit of variation with your shadow, if you want to, you might even add a little bit of purple to your green like the color of The mug might reflect just a bit into the shadow. And unify those two colors together. I might play around with this a little bit and add a little bit more detail, maybe make a pattern tablecloth or something. We'll see where this takes me, but this is just such a fun way to look at hue, where you pick your colors, value, where you pick your lights and darks, and intensity, where you pick spots that you might want to be a little bit toned down a little bit less intense. So, feel free to play with yours and make it your own. And I can't wait to see what you make. 12. Final Thoughts : And that's it. You're finished with the class. I hope that this was a fun way for you to learn our color properties hue value and intensity. Just to quickly review, Hue is the name of the color value refers to the light or darkness of the color, and intensity is whether the color is bright or dull. I don't think anyone should have to feel overwhelmed out in the art world because they did not go to art school or learn a bunch of fancy vocabulary. Most of these concepts are super simple and are probably things that you have considered while you're making your art without even realizing it. While, I don't think it's crucial to use proper art vocabulary in order to make beautiful art I do think it's good to understand the definitions of some of these art words. That way, you know what other artists and teachers are talking about. And most important, you can use this knowledge to make decisions about your own artwork and be intentional about the way that you choose to use hue value and intensity. Don't forget to post your cute little Mug project in the project section, or you can tag me on Instagram at Amy Ln Murray so that I can like and share your work. If you liked this class, be sure to leave a review and follow along for more. I would even love to get suggestions from you on art words that we can talk about in future classes. I believe everyone is an artist, and I hope that you enjoyed painting along today. Bye.
