Mixing Colors For A Primary Color Scheme

Painting with a limited palette of primary colors helps us to understand color better because we’re limited to the 3 basic colors that all other colors come from. It helps us make better color decisions as well as make subtle color changes that we need in our painting.

Such a good lesson. I really miss the days of painting and receiving great critiques.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Sandra, yes those were the good old days

[@raincloud706]

This could be handy when you are traveling .

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes, it helps to limit the colors outside, makes for a faster painting.

Always enjoy watching your decision making when you paint Phil. At 3:35 you say "you could extend that out and get 6 or so new colors, plus add white and that would be new colors also". Wouldn't adding white just make it a new value in the same color family and not necessarily a new color? Sometimes wording when talking about color can become slightly confusing. I think I know what you meant, but just clarifying for my own sake.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hey Allen, yes, it is the same color, different value But in a limited pallet it does give more sense of color changes as well.

[@alfalasi_art]

Kindly Mr Phil can you make video about what is saquare color scheme , what color to choose and why.
Thank you

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Ahmed, I'm not familiar with a square color scheme, can you elaborate?

[@pburress06]

Nice Video! FYI, audio drops out around the 9:30 mark.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Phil, yeah we had to speed it up to get to the finish.

[@87Harmony]

Is this in oil?

[@philstarke.artist]

Yes, this is done in oil.

[@mikegurney9278]
