Here is an additional reel to answer some of the questions from my last reel that went viral! I tried to keep this as simple as possible, I hope it helps other painters out there. It's hard to condense something like this into 45 seconds. Yes you can use 2 colors, or more than 3, and the shape doesn't have to be a triangle. Experiment and see what you can come up with! Have fun.

For a more detailed explanation check out @jamesgurneyart blog posts and his amazing book on Color & Light. His work has inspired me massively over the years!

If you have questions let me know in the comments.

Sometimes before jumping into a painting it can be helpful (and fun) to do a quick palette test to see what your color options are. Everyone has a slightly different way of creating these. You could use a hexagon shape, or triangle, or start with a different number of colors. It's up to you.

 At the end you can see an example of how I've used these to understand my color range before starting a painting.

Description I'm learning both color and composition with these little paintings. The limited color choices force me to think outside of the box while I start to understand how each color interacts with each other. And the composition part is pretty simple, haha. I plan to keep doing these, they're actually quite helpful! Not to mention like, really super fun.
