About This Class

Join illustrator Kate @keytofreedom in this class about colour theory. It will help you understand what a colour wheel is and how you can actually use it to create great colour palettes. Also you’ll discover a couple of other ways to get harmonious colour combinations. Getting confident with colour and enjoying the process of working with it adds a lot to your art practice!

This lesson is suitable for beginners although even if you already have experience with colour this might be the way to dive even deeper and to have some fun. Colour theory can really help anyone who works with colour like illustrators, fine artists, designers etc.

For the exercise in this lesson you’ll need paper, a pencil, a ruler, an eraser, masking tape, brushes and paints (acrylic, gouache or tempera) - it’s gonna get colourful!

It’s nice to understand theory and rules, even if it’s just to know how to break them sometimes! Being confident with colour opens you a lot of freedom to create the impression you want in your work as colour is a powerful instrument and can help you say so much!
