All color wheels are used to help artists select color combinations that work well together. Specific color combinations will give the painting very specific visual impact.
My Goof-Proof Color Wheel has only ten colors. The spinning pointer points to the four color combinations that I use in my paintings. Specific color combos will result in specific emotions and help me to communicate the painting's message. I have my color wheel at each of my painting stations so I can stay focused. (I tend to wander into other color combos. The color wheel, next to me, helps me be more productive and efficient.) No need to fumble around, guessing what I should do next!
And, once my four colors are determined and loosely brushed on the surface, that is when the painting takes off and I am able to paint in a creative fearless direction... Goof proof guaranteed!
Don't forget—watch the video! This week, I demonstrate using my Goof-Proof Color Wheel in an Abstract painting, using BLUE as my dominant color.
Points to remember:
•80% of the painting surface will be the Dominant color. I don’t just use one blue—I use a variety of blues
•The red Focal Point color takes up about 10% in one area
•Around the pure focal point color I add 5% of each Spice Color—Yellow and Purple. The two Spice Colors draw attention to the focal point
Before starting a painting, I select my Color Combination and put only those colors on my painting table. That way I can keep focused on the task at hand.
