Unlock the Power of Primary Colors!

Have you ever wondered how much expression you can achieve with just three colors? Join me as we dive into color theory, exploring the vast creative possibilities offered by the primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. Whether you're new to watercolor or a seasoned artist, this class will give you the tools to blend, layer, and mix these colors to create vibrant hues and tones that bring your artwork to life.

Through a series of hands-on exercises, we’ll explore how the interplay of these three colors can create depth, light, and atmosphere. Our final project will be a stunning candle painting, where you'll master how to represent light and shadow using only red, blue, and yellow. By the end, you'll have a better understanding of how even a limited palette can elevate your painting to new expressive heights.

In this class, you’ll learn:

The fundamentals of color theory and how primary colors can create an entire spectrum
Techniques for blending and layering watercolor paints to create vibrant hues
How to use primary colors to represent depth, light, and shadow
Tips for painting expressive scenes with a minimal palette

Get ready to unlock the full potential of primary colors and take your watercolor skills to the next level. Let’s begin this colorful journey together!

Try this class to explore your creativity...

I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.

You'll Learn:

What materials and equipment to need to painting along
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colours for your painting
How to blend colours and create textures for different effects
Making corrections and improvements
Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolour Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every colour on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which colour to mix.
