Gorgeous color is so key in getting you work, and today I have a fantastic way for you to come up with a fresh color palette!
Let’s face it. We all tend to rely on our same colors, and with this download I’m pushing you to break out. Give it a try, and I encourage you to use colors you don’t normally.
Lilla’s tip no. 1: I have found that artists often use only bright colors. I’m limiting it to only two so that you try other colors. If you’ve taken my courses, you know that I’m all about neutrals/muted colors, so for this I’m encouraging you to do 3 muted colors. One can be any kind you want, another is a light muted color, and the last is a dark muted color. (Just so you know, I’m using ‘muted’ and ‘neutrals’ interchangeably here.)
Lilla’s tip no. 2: People tend to only use light colors or medium-light range colors, so hopefully this will be an opportunity to try darker colors.
Here’s your color palette recipe for today:
- Download my color palette worksheet and print it out. Print several copies if you like!
- Take some of your found objects and place them directly on the worksheet.
- Then takeanyart materials you like and make a little color palette at the bottom. Be cognizant of how much of each color you’re using. In other words, you see that I used a lot of yellow and pink and less of the neutrals. There’s no right or wrong way, but quantities of each color have an effect on the overall palette.
- Post on social with hashtag #MATSprep.I can’t wait to see!
- Fill this outas often as you like, with different objects.
This will be fantastic prep for your Assignment Bootcamp classes because you’re going to want to use your new color palette colorway.
Here’s one that I’ve done:
