Colors

Many artist know about the color wheel but don't really know how to use it. I have been trying to get a grasp so that my art work is more harmonious. ie the design might not be the best but the color selection is right.

Here is a panel that I painted. The background is green and I want a picture. the car, and a striping design. That's three things so I need three colors.

Set green as the key color and find the Triadic. Green, Orange and Purple are the colors I will use.

From there I added white to tint the color, make it lighter. Or added grey to tone the color, make it darker.
