Main rules

Picture is not a representation of what’s out there, it’s an interpretation

Technique is not the answer. Expression (passion, content, intent, meaning) is the answer.

Colors don’t mean anything in themselves, mean what you set them up to mean

Value and all about the other things to know

Colour value

The value of a colour is its position on the grey scale (white to black axis): a colour is said to be rather light or rather dark.

Hue is color (blue, green, red, etc.).
Chroma is the purity of a color (a high chroma has no added black, white or gray).
Saturation refers to how strong or weak a color is (high saturation being strong).
Value refers to how light or dark a color is (light having a high value).
Tones are created by adding gray to a color, making it duller than the original.
Shades are created by adding black to a color, making it darker than the original.
Tints are created by adding white to a color, making it lighter than the original.

Handprint paint list for the basic palette

Granulation: the pigment particles attach themselves to the paper as a splotchy tone. Examples of this include Manganese blue, Ultramarine blue dark and Raw Sienna.
Flocculation: pigment particles aggregate together, giving the same effect as granulation. Examples include Viridian green light and dark, Green Earth and Raw Umber.
