The Atelier Tier, Color Study #1, Complimentary (Patreon)

Now that we have all of the pre-painting color theory in the bag it is time to put it to the test.

In this lesson, you will be painting a complementary color theme (violet + yellow). 

The application of paint will be bold and direct- no smudging. The goal is to create a mosaic of color values that, together, add up to an accurate impression of the subject.

My palette here is: Titanium white, Old Holland yellow-brown, vermillion extra, cobalt blue, and ivory black.

Medium is linseed oil, and the painting is made on an acrylic primed linen.
