My Goof-Proof Color Wheel - A Simple Explanation.

My own Goof-Proof Color Wheel is not like any other. I feel it’s easier (and faster) to understand than the universal color wheel - and uses only a 4 color combo throughout the entire painting.

Mind you, even though I pick only 4 pure colors right out of the tube, I’ll also mix a variety of shades of each. While painting, I use the pure colors around the focal point and I tone down, or “dial back” the pure colors the further away I get from the focal point. I do this so there won’t be more than one focal point.

A common question I am asked is “How much of each color do I use?”

80% of the painting surface will be the Dominant color. Dominant! Get it?

The primary Focal Point color takes up about 10% in one area.

Around the pure focal point color I add 5% of each Spice Color. The two Spice Colors actually augment plus draw attention to the focal point.

And again, as I move away from the one focal point, I tone down the other colors to a variety of neutrals.

Think - 80, 10, 5 and 5.

PS - Important! My Color Wheel helps me get started in a clear, focused direction. After starting the initial 4 colors, I expand the plalette with a variety of close colors… such as red, re-orange, orange. I like choices, don’t you? Hope this helps!

Let the colors fly around your paintings!

Brilliant. I'm a new painter and trying to absorb everything at once (got a very late start). This was really helpful and will keep me from wandering all over the place, getting lost in tons of colors, expressing nothing. :)

Too many colour wheel videos later - I finally get it - thanks so very much Mr. Burridge ! Reference to an actual painting made all the difference...

[marieallen]

Thankyou for making this so easy to understand.

[matthewpettersson]

Just got your color wheel app. Quick and easy thank you. One suggestion would be to add Dominant(=80%)
Spice color %, and focal point % . Just a suggestion cheers

I love your work. I wish I was in USA, I could have taken your workshops.

[PhilipKamble]

This is Gold... amazing explanation.. this has solved my problem in use of Green...

[catyeah]

Bob, this is much, muCH, MUCH Thanks! And I now see where you can add the "spice" colors outside of the focal point area as long as you mix in some of the complimentary color to dull it down. Thank you so much!

[momapes]

That was a great explanation, Bob! Now I understand it better.

Hello Bob. Which Holbein paints produce the colors on your color wheel? Thank you for all you do!

[helanker]

I love your videos. You are a great inspiration. Now I made my own color wheel like yours. Thank you. :)

[rosegesford]

THANK YOU sooo much...wonderful theory for the color wheel. Appreciate your teachings. Will attend one of your workshops in Texas hopefully someday.

[kelb]

I've never understood color until I started watching your videos, it was making me want to give up. I understood how the color wheel was supposed to work, but it seemed like people were just picking out colors from you know where and I didn't understand how their paintings were looking good. But now I'm going to keep trying and see if I get it now!

[missher]

Your videos helped a lot:) Thanks Bob!
