Welcome to prompt number 8 of 'The Creative Juice'. This class is all about diving into color. Consider it your free pass to explore the basics of color theory with only 12 colored pencils and four fundamental color schemes. We won't worry about drawing the perfect picture. We'll keep it simple by drawing oranges, but with a twist: you can use any color except orange. Let's boost your creativity without pressure and with lots of fun.

The steps we take:

To start off, we will create a color wheel from which we can then select the colors for our sketches.

Next, we will explore four basic color combinations:

Analogous
Monochrome
Triadic
Split complementary

By the end of the class, you should feel confident using non-realistic color choices.

Who this class is for:
If you are a beginner to the color ABC looking for an easy way into the world of color theory or someone wanting to playfully expand their color-comfort zone, this class is for you.

Your Tools:

A bunch of different colored pencils and
something to draw on.

Your Resources:

Don't forget to grab the workbook from the Resources section to support your learning. The PDF provides the key facts of color theory we covered in class and gives you space to sketch and record the colors you used. The worksheets make it super easy to follow along with each step of the class. Watch out: There's a secret color combination inside that we do not cover in class. ;)
