Choosing A Colour Palette. Painting in weird colours & colour theory watercolour tutorial
I often get asked how I choose my colour palettes and make them look cohesive, despite using seemingly random colours. Well, in this tutorial I hope to give some insight into how I choose them and make them work! This isn’t a full tutorial as such - but I’ll explain some of the important things you should understand when starting to paint with bright colours. Bear in mind that I'm self-taught, and that the best way to learn is through practice!
NB: I filmed this back in 2023 so it's a little rough - please be kind! But constructive feedback is welcome!
Please let me know if you like this sort of video, and I’ll talk more about choosing specific colour palettes!
Here's an example of painting in an unnatural palette - (ua-cam.com/video/EQuuKL5_CEE/v-deo.htmlsi=O3GFn1XMxgQ92mu9)
And here's some watercolour basics if you're just starting out on your watercolour painting journey! - (ua-cam.com/video/SdoAWHQoLtE/v-deo.htmlsi=akhK1pgpijANAIWE)

      @@All48obss thank you! At the start I'd recommend just trying a bit of everything, practicing, experimenting, watch a few tutorials (I have a couple!) but not too many - don't overwhelm yourself. Get used to using the materials and play around with them without focusing too much on the end result. I think the best way to learn is trying new things. What medium are you working in? Watercolour?

    Love the colour palette of this one! I saw in the other comment that you use arches cotton hot press paper- such a good paper! I prefer cold press, but arches is such a dream to work on. Do you happen to know if their hot press paper holds as much water as their cold press? I’ve always been curious!

    • @ZedShah
      @ZedShah 11 днів тому

      @ The issue I've encountered with most watercolour tutorials is that they assume I already know the absolute basics, but I don't. In this video, for example, you demonstrated fundamental brush techniques that I've not seen anyone else mention. Therefore, I believe a series of videos covering the absolute fundamentals would be fantastic. This could include the types of brushes, how to store and clean them, paint mixing, and how to approach painting itself. For instance, I find it difficult to know what paint to apply first and how to proceed, among other things
