Find Your Favourite Colour Palette - For Artists and Surface Pattern Designers
If you are an artist or surface pattern designer you might have found yourself having to make the difficult decision of choosing a colour palette for your illustration, painting or pattern.
That is why I think it’s a great idea to spend some of your time developing your very own colour palette; a palette you can go back to, time and time again.
You don’t have to feel restricted of course to use just the colours you will choose during this class, but it is a very good idea to have a personal palette because:
- It can save you time when you’re planning new artwork
- It will make your brand more recognizable
- It will make your collections more cohesive
In this class I will give you an overview of the materials you need, then I will talk a little bit about colour theory, but don’t worry! I won’t go into too many details, I’ll give you just enough information for you to have a better understanding of colour and it’s behavior.
I will show you the difference it makes to the final colour mixes whether you use cool or warm primary colours.
I will show you how to find inspiration for your colour palettes.
And finally I’ll teach you how to create your personal colour palette of course!
I will also show you how to import your colour palette into Adobe Illustrator and Procreate if you like to work digitally or if you want to use your palette to create patterns.
This class is for intermediate students that have at least a basic knowledge of colour mixing but can be taken also by adventurous beginners as I will go through the basics of colour mixing.
By the end of this class you will have the tools to create your very own colour palette and apply it to your future artwork, may it be an illustration or a repeat pattern.
To take this class you will need some art materials, brushes (if using paints), paints of your choice, paper, a scanner or camera (optional).
