Colour plays an important role in strong image creation. Regardless if you're an artist, illustrator to designer, you will come across colour at some point in your creative pursuits. In order to get to grips with colour, and what makes good colour, the first stage is the colour wheel. Within the colour wheel is tertiary colours, which in today's episode you will learn all about. You can make tertiary colours by mixing a primary colour (yellow), with a secondary colour (orange). All good things come in threes, and this is no different. A tertiary colour sits in the middle of a primary and secondary colour. Learn what tertiary colours are, tips to create your own, and how you can improve your own colour theory. This episode is perfect for beginners, who can improve their own colour theory. It's also great for more advanced creatives, who want to go deeper into colour theory and learn all about colour.
