If you are afraid of color, but realize how important it is to choose a controlled palette of colors, then worry no more. In this lesson, I'll show you my unique method of choosing a complex color scheme without having to know anything about color theory.

You'll learn how to create lovely (and very soothing) Fantasy Agates using watercolors and fine-liner pens. I call them “Fantasy Agates” because their swirling lines remind me of Agate, the stone, although the results are far more dimensional.

Learn to feel secure about color

I've heard a million times, “I am not sure how to pick a color palette for my art, I don't know enough about color theory”. Well, you don't need to! My unique method will show you how you can select a complex color palette without knowing anything about color theory.

All you need is your watercolor paintbox! In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a simple chart of colors based on your own paintbox, using simple color that you would teach to a small child, such as red, pink, yellow, blue and green. None of those fancy names such as vermillion, chartreuse or indigo.
