  1. COLOR THEORY Let’s take a look at the Color Wheel Color Schemes and Color Values

  2. The Color Wheel • Learning to mix colors is important. • Knowing the placement of colors on the color wheel will help you mix colors and help you decide which colors to add to your painting or drawing! • Your choice of color schemes can make a big difference in the success of your project.

  3. COLORS • The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. • These colors can be combined to create secondary colors…green, violet, and orange. • Red plus blue will make violet. • Yellow plus blue will make green. • Red plus yellow will make orange.

  4. Making New Colors! • mixed with will make . • mixed with will make . • mixed with will make . blue violet Red blue Yellow green Red Yellow orange

  5. Red Blue Yellow PRIMARY COLORS CANNOT BE MADE FROM OTHER COLORS

  7. POINTILLISM George Seurat ( December 2,1859 – March 29,1891)developed a painting technique called pointillism, where dots of pure color are positioned next to each other on a canvas. From a distance, the colors appear to mix and create new colors.

  8. Tertiary Colors A tertiary color is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color.

  9. Warm Colors Warm colors seem to move toward the viewer in a painting Warm colors are red, pink, orange and yellow. This family of colors is called warm because they remind you of warm things like the sun or fire.

  10. Cool Colors Cool colors seem to recede, or move away in a painting Cool colors remind us of cool things like the ocean or winter sky. They include blue, violet and green.

  12. MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEMES consist of different values (tints and shades) of one single color. Tint - color plus white to make the color lighter. Shade - color plus black to make the color darker.

  13. Complementary Colors Complementary colors are colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, red and green, violet and yellow. Red - Green Blue Orange - Yellow - Violet

  14. Vincent van Gogh uses a complimentary color scheme in this painting titled La Berceuse (1889; Oil on canvas)

  15. Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.

  16. "Nymphéas"Claude MONET 1916-19 An analogous color scheme is similar to the monochromatic color scheme, but offers more depth.

  17. Split-complementary color scheme A color scheme that includes a main color and the two colors on each side of its complementary (opposite) color on the color wheel. Georgia O-Keeffe Jack in the Pullpit No. V, 1930
