Does Choosing a Color Scheme Feel Confusing and Complicated?
Analogous, Split-Complementary, Monochromatic, High Key, Triadic, Quadratic, Low Chroma...
Are your eyes glazing over? Mine too.
Color Should Be Fun!
It's not a secret I love color wheels (I've made dozens), but there are ways to choose colors for your paintings without having to remember all twelve variations of a triad. (Are there twelve? It feels like there must be.)
By using the simple principles of harmony, contrast, and expression, we can easily understand the way colors interact with each other, and choose color pairings that look effortlessly beautiful.

Hi! I'm Whitney Hall (aka The Curious Painter)
I've been a full-time painter since 2008 and have been teaching painting and color theory for just as long!
My favorite thing is helping painters of all levels overcome whatever is frustrating them in the studio so they can find more joy at their easels.
I'm also a total color theory nerd. I love researching everything I can learn about color theory and color psychology and color science, and finding a way to explain it in the simplest way possible.
I live in Bozeman Montana with my photographer-fiancee and our two blue heelers. When I'm not painting or teaching, you'll probably find me gardening or exploring somewhere in nature.
