Part 1 of the Color Tutorial I said I would do. This part covers the basics. It is pretty much in my own words - so if its not "technically" correct I apologize - I wanted to keep it as true to my own thoughts as possible. Part 2 I will cover how to find palettes, shading, and do a step by step of an image while I am painting it.
The file is rather big and image heavy so you have been forewarned! If there are any grammar and/or spelling mistakes please let me know.
All samples are from my own personal gallery.

Good tutorial on the colors. Actually, it helps a lot. :) The only thing that seems to be off is in #2, when you signify that red creates drama and blue creates harmony, yet you have two images, one that represent the red, and the other yellow, not blue.

You should not have to be telling people this.
That people are appreciative saddens me.
This should be common knowledge for ANYONE who even casually doodles.
(This is not a negative comment toward you, by the way.)
