From painting to fashion, graphic design, logo design, marketing, photography, any field of digital art and traditional art:

Colour is a major factor and plays a huge role in how we percieve things. Both in real life and in any forms of visual presentation.

Therefore, learning about color theory and being able to handle color like a pro is essential, if want to become a creator. No matter if you're a beginner artist who's just starting out, or an experienced web designer.

Once you know what colors can do and learn how to combine them, you have an incredible tool at your hands that allows you to influence the mood, emotions, interest and attention of viewers of your work.

The color wheel, color psychology, color schemes, color harmony and color palettes are just some aspects of the magical meta-skill that we call "color usage".

I'm "Duplo", an experienced designer and digital artist, and I put a lot of attention to getting my colors right. Using color is one of my specialties and I've invested a lot of time into researching and optimizing my use of color. Color has been the thing that has carried my work the most, and I absolutely love using it.

I put this course together because I've noticed, that there aren't any full tutorials on how to generally use color. The ones that are out there are either too broad and theoretical ("Color theory explained in 10 min"), or too specific ("How to mix water colors", "How to use color schemes for logos"...).

This course gives you a practical overview for color theory and how you can apply it to any field of art and design that interests you. With tons of examples and clear explanations!

From color basics we will move on to a deep dive on each of the main colors so that you really understand them. And then we will explore how to combine colors, how to make them look good together and how to choose them for your work.
