Here is a color wheel I made using the three colors we are offering. No worries on how to make one as yet. That will be part of the dry brush session. Note the range of only three pigments, and that is not to speak of value (light and dark) that can be created by adding more or less water, or hue by adding more of one color or less of another.
By Heather Lee I had originally planned on offering six colors for the art kit, but decided on 3 colors for two reasons. Offering only three colors will allow me to provide more of each color. But more importantly, I chose a three color palette to show what you can do with only three colors for those on a very limited budget. For a bit over $30, you can use artist grade paints, and create spectacular paintings. Here is a color wheel I made using the three colors we are offering. No worries on how to make one as yet. That will be part of the dry brush session. Note the range of only three pigments, and that is not to speak of value (light and dark) that can be created by adding more or less water, or hue by adding more of one color or less of another. And with just those three colors, I painted this. I did fudge a bit, though. My secret weapon is a small bottle of ProWhite, which can be found at Amazon for a bit over $8. I use it sparingly, so one small bottle goes a long way. An artist can try to conserve white spaces in various ways. I prefer to add the white spaces after I have completed everything else. I will bring it to the session and talk about it, and demonstrate how to use it, but it will not be part of the kit, as it is liquid and will not dry and form a cake like the watercolors.
