Color Temperature - Watercolor Lesson with Karlyn Holman

A subtle but very enriching understanding of controlling the warm and cool color temperatures found in our composition.

The subject stairs at a 17th century convent in Frayssinet, France.

This new lesson focuses on capturing the gray shadows, using a mixture of cobalt blue and Windsor orange. While this mixture is still wet, charge in pure warm and cool colors. This added enhancement is so exciting.

Areas in the sun should have a warm temperature and colors in the shade should have a cool temperature.
