I know I’ve seen this link floating around in mega upload shindigs, but seriously, Color Scheme Design is noteworthy enough for its own post. FINALLY, I’ve remembered to book mark this puppy by itself. And yes, I’m using this post to remind me USE THIS THING A LOT.


The cool thing I like is that the size of the palettes also dictates/recommends how much of each colour you should put in the drawing, this video explains it much better than me http://youtube.com/watch?v=6_MqD4k3M4c definitely worth checking out :D

color selection tutorial

paperpie:

This is a tutorial about how to create a compelling color palette. You’ll need a basic understanding of Photoshop to understand this, so I won’t have to spend time explaining what something like setting a layer to multiply means.

I would also like to preface by saying that yes I have taken color theory classes but I don’t necessarily reference them when I color. They’re more like vocab that sits in the back of my brain until moments when I have to explain color. The best teacher is, as with all areas of art, experience. You won’t become more comfortable using color if you’re always too afraid to use it!

The Gamut Mask Tool

What is it?
The Gamut Mask is a great way to created harmonic color schemes. It simplifies your color choices and saves you lots of time and paint in achieving unified color palettes quickly and easily.

Who made it?
This Gamut Mask Tool was developed by me (Richard Robinson) and is provided to you free to use. The original concept of the Gamut Mask was developed by James Gurney (www.jamesgurney.com), artist and author of the fantastically illustrated Dinotopia books (www.dinotopia.com).

How do I use it?
Below are some samples of harmonic color schemes achieved by using the Gamut Mask. First I designed an image with a limited value study. Then I decided my most powerful color would be the orange in the foreground and I made a triangular mask with yellow orange as the dominant color, supported by a grayed red and a grayed green. I could have mixed intermediary colors located midway along the sides of the triangle, but I decided to keep it simple and mixed just three color strings of five values each. Then I removed all other colors from my palette so I wouldn’t be tempted to dip into them, and painted the first little study (just 2.5” wide). Satisfied with that, I made two more studies, and you can see what different color schemes were achieved by the different gamut masks. Each painting is harmonious, yet each has a slightly different mood.

Application of colour theory…

greenscrewdriver:

Ok following on from that Artist Problems reblog, what helped me was these articles by James Gurney:

Color Wheel Masking, Part 1
The Shapes of Color Schemes
From Mask to Palette
3D Gamut Animations

Worth a look if you’re having trouble drawing a connection between theory and application. I’d never seen the information set out in this way before and it made it so much simpler for me.
