Primary Colors


I use different color combinations in my paintings but sometimes I like to strip down to just the three primaries: Yellow, blue, and red. The shades of those three colors can be whatever you want. For example I used a turquoise for my blue in this painting, and my "yellow" is more of a gold. It's lots of fun to paint simply, and you get the added bonus of colors mixing and creating new shades. Here is a painting I sold recently on Facebook using the primaries plus black and white.
