Color theory is a fundamental aspect of art that helps artists understand how colors interact with each other. It encompasses the color wheel, color harmony, and the emotional impact of colors.
The color wheel is a circular diagram that shows the relationships between colors. Primary colors combine to create secondary colors, and understanding this can enhance your artwork.
Colors evoke emotions; for instance, red can signify passion, while blue often represents calmness. Artists use this knowledge to convey messages through their work.
