Color Theory 101

September 7, 2020 by riasharon

Just doing a lesson every day…

Ria Unson Complementary Palette

From Dr. Oto Kano’s tutorials on YouTube

What I learned:

  • the range of neutrals I can create with just the 12 colors in my split primary palette
  • I don’t actually have the “correct” complementaries since none of them actually cancel out to absolutely neutral gray but  I don’t care about that as much as knowing what I have available
  • when rendering shadows, I can select and mix up the perfect shade from this reference palette

A little about me

I have an undergraduate degree in art. By day, I work in higher ed and in my free time I'm currently putting myself through DIY grad school.

I teach classes on creativity and inspiration on Skillshare. I occasionally share my original paintings on Etsy and fine art prints on Minted. I've also been known to make puppy portraits.
