Definitively a must class. It is not just about painting a colour wheel, it is all about understanding it and how to mixe colours. The colour charts are just as important and a great personal reference. I am a big fan of minimal palette, simply because I beleive that if I can learn to mixe almost any colours I want then I would have master colour theory. The later will help me down the road to avoid colour errors, shadows and lights mistakes.
Thank you for all the work done in preparing this so very important class.

Most important lesson to know, and Dennis both explains, and shows the how and why of colours and mixing superbly. Concise and to the point, learning your colours in this fashion will make for very few if any failed paintings.

What is a Color Wheel?
Whether using crayons, watercolors, or colored pens, kids are always excited about mixing and creating different colors.
We use a color wheel to know more about colors, color combinations, and what colors look good together.
There are 12 colors on the color wheel divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
PRIMARY COLORS
The primary colors are YELLOW, RED, and BLUE. These are the foundation colors that you have in the color spectrum.
You can use those colors to make any color that there is, like all the colors in the rainbow.
SECONDARY COLORS
The secondary colors are ORANGE, GREEN, and PURPLE.
These are made by taking two primary colors in equal parts and mixing them.
TERTIARY COLORS
The tertiary colors are YELLOW-ORANGE, RED-ORANGE, RED-VIOLET, BLUE-VIOLET, BLUE-GREEN, and YELLOW-GREEN.
Mix equal parts of one primary color and one secondary color to make the tertiary colors.
