Taught by David Tenorio
How many colors can you make using only the three primary colors? Artist David Tenorio seeks to answer the question by mixing different amounts of each color, creating a wide range of shades, tints, and tones. By continuing to mix colors together, you can create compound colors with a wider range of hues and shades. From vivid reds to neutral gray tones, it's important to experiment to achieve the desired effect in your artwork.

Simple but informative. A reminder that we have a whole color palette with just the three primary colors.
