Coloring with Watercolor: Discover Your Chromatic Character

“We have reached the end of the course! I hope the content has been valuable and that you feel able to create a final project that expresses your chromatic personality. I want to take advantage and give tips on how to add everything we've learned so far and transform it into a painting: • Take the study notebook we made in Unit 3 and from the notes we made, develop some color palettes. • If you are unsure of how to get to certain colors, review Unit 2 to find possible mixtures and write down the step by step of each one. • Create an illustration that is within your comfort zone, so we can reserve all our neurons to think almost exclusively about the color palette and how to compose.

I chose a pattern of strawberries, cherries and leaves, but you can make flowers, other fruits, abstract art, portrait, whichever you are used to painting, the important thing is to make the most of the colors! Remember to make some color sketches, as we saw in Unit 4, before starting the final painting. And when you're done, post the project and the other activities here on the forum so I can see it and the other students too. I will love to discover the different chromatic personalities of each one! Hug and see you next time :) ”
