Summary:

This week, we’ll be learning how to create and modify our own colour palettes! We’ll go over the basics of colour theory, colour adjustment with hue/saturation/value and level curves, types and uses of blend modes, and palette analysis tools such as this: https://lospec.com/palettes/censor-palette-analyser

We’ll create a byte-sized landscape painting and apply the principles of colour theory to recolour it to fit a variety of moods, from cozy and bright to grim and spooky!

Take a look at our handy-dandy reference folder for a sneak peek of what you’ll be learning ->[ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ttO9Pr0_VCft2R4YcHoqOwjljzzR2C-b)
