How to Use a Hex Chart

Description

In this color course, learn all about ways to use the Hex Charts for alcohol markers or colored pencils to choose the right colors! Includes discussion of color theory as we examine photos and learn terminology like hue, value, saturation, temperature, and more.

This is a Level 1 course – suitable for any artist learning about color and how to choose the colors they’ll use to put their vision on paper. No techniques are taught in the short videos in this course but students will practice color selections they’re learning on swatch sheets. Photo references are linked, however, so if more advanced students wish, they can try their hand at sketching the images shown as examples.
