What You Need To Know Before Doing Color Theory Paintings

By Raymond Gibson


Paintings have been around ever since the olden days. People had portraits made for hours unlike today with the availability of cameras all over. As much as people nowadays are not so keen on painting, it remains an art that is appreciated and valuable. It is a source of income for people and even a way of keeping memories for others. The article elaborates more about color theory paintings.

However, you can mix these primary colors to come up with a whole new color. Blue and red brews purple, red and yellow make orange, while yellow and blue make green. These are known as secondary colors. These secondary colors will appear in different shades depending on the amounts and ratio used in mixing the primary colors.

Primary colors are also not all that plain. They may be original, but they also arrive in different shades. Some are brighter than others. Some colors are considered bias because they are considered warmer than others. Some reds are darker than others, but even the darkest shade of red will be considered warmer than the lightest shade of blue.

Mixing two primary colors will result in a secondary color. The intensity and effect of the color will depend on the ratio of mixing and the colors used in forming the secondary color. For example, red and yellow forms orange. If the yellow is more than the red, the orange will be yellowish while if the red is more than the yellow the orange will appear reddish.

Although there is the option of mixing up colors instead of purchasing them, you should not entirely neglect to buy certain shades of color. This is because there are colors that can only be bought and cannot come up even when mixing is done. Another reason is the need to make the painting look similar in one way or the other. You may mix in different ratios and end up using up different shades.

Tertiary colors include browns and greys. They can be created by mixing all the primary colors or a primary color with a secondary color. The shade of grey or brown you get depends on which colors you mixed and in what amounts. As pointed out before, the ratio of mixing goes a long way in determining the shade acquired in the long run.

Another important bit is the complimentary colors. A complimentary color for primary colors is the one that is left out after mixing two primary colors. Secondary colors also have complimentary colors. You might be wondering the use of these complementary colors. When placed next to each other they appear bright and have an intensity effect.

Lastly, you should keep a record of all of your discoveries. You should make a chart of all the mixing you have made and their result. You should also come up with a chart of colors that are opaque or transparent. This will enable you to save time when you start painting as you do not have to conduct a test before you paint.
