Pick ONLY 3 colors and write them on the back of your 5" x 7" watercolor paper. This Color Study started by making 3 shapes and painting each shape a different color.
Draw 3 shapes that don’t overlap. You should have 4 areas now. Choose 3 colors. Leave one of the shapes white and color each of the others a separate color. Leave a tiny border between the colors so they won’t bleed into each other. Repeat this process until you get lots of different layers and colors created by overlapping colors. I add black at the very end to "lace" the viewer's eye through the painting. I do these instead of color graphs. So much more fun!
