art secret 9 - make a color menu

Color Menu For Your Painting!
Why practice on your final painting? The easiest thing to do that gives you the most control is to work up  a menu of the colors that you are going to use in your painting. Look at the shades of yellow and green watercolor in the sample menu above. You can do this with any art medium.

This is a work up of the colors you see in the color menu above. The artist has also added complementary colors into the study. Using a color menu and knowing what colors to use makes your painting shine. Try it and share with us!
