In this oil painting tutorial, portrait artist Alex Tzavaras shows you the best way to learn Colour mixing for begginers.
Colour mixing is one of the most challenging things about oil painting for beginners. There are an infinite variety of colours in nature. Not only that, when you go to any art store there are so many pigments to choose from. To help us make sense of all this, we have numerous colour theories. One of the most comprehansive is the Munsell Colour System, created by the artist Aflred Henry Munsell.
Munsell specified three properties of colour, HUE, VALUE and CHROMA. In this portrait painting tutorial, Alex show you how to paint a portrait using a limited palette constisting of Titanium White, Cadmium Lemon, Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue. Using a palette made up of more intense or chromatic versions of the three primary colours is the best ways for beginners to understand these three principles of HUE, VALUE and CHROMA
