I use white mainly for skies, water, and to make colours muddier and less intense (like purples and greys). I avoid using white for highlights as the result is sometimes dull or lifeless. Instead, I prefer using Naples Yellow when possible.

Happy coloring! Easy To Print & Color When I find a landscape that interests me, and I want to paint it, I take a really good long look at the colours that I will be painting. If the landscape can be painted with a limited palette then I will just squeeze out three to four colours; I much prefer to use fewer colours, but will slowly add more to the palette if I need to. Using different colours and seeing them all the time helps kids gain awareness of lesser known colours.

I paint in watercolour, oil and acrylic. Whilst the ranges of colours produced by companies are different (and the names given to similar colours may vary) I have stood by certain colours throughout my career. In general my choice of colours is the same for watercolour and oil/acrylic. With the former I use white gouache rather than a pure watercolour white because it is more opaque. However it is deployed sparingly (if at all) because I like to use the white of the paper. The question refers to squeezing out colours – yes, in the case of watercolour I always use tubes, not pans. Join your kids in a creative adventure with our fantastic landscape colouring pictures. Start the day with a fun activity for your class and give the children a chance to focus on a simple and relaxing task. Or save our resource for the end of the day, so you can finish the lesson with an entertaining assignment. Yes, light and shadow play a pivotal role in landscapes. The position of the sunlight determines the shadows and light spots on your landscape. Pay attention to the direction of the light and accordingly adjust the intensity of colors in those areas. Also, figuring out the focal point in the landscape can help in focusing details and depth on that point. Can you provide some interesting facts about landscapes that I could incorporate into my art? The paints that I always keep and frequently use are: Lemon and Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Naples Yellow, then French Ultramarine , maybe Cobalt or Cerulean Blue, Raw umber, Burnt Sienna. Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red, and Titanium White.

I tend to always work with the same palette and squeeze the same colours regardless of the subject. I’ve been using the same selection of colours for the last 10 years and feel now that I’m comfortable with any mix my colours can make, which enables me to focus on the subject rather than worrying about which colour to use. For someone starting painting in plein air I would recommend using a limited palette, and gradually adding more colours over time once they are comfortable with their original selection (although they might well like to stay with a limited palette). I like to mix my own greens/oranges/purples. I find the result more natural and harmonious. In Colour Sketch – Bosham I began by using warm colours for the buildings – Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna , Alizarin Crimson. I used Alizarin Crimson and Cobalt Blue mixed with White for the sky and sea, and for the trees – Yellow Ochre and Cobalt. So just five colours.

I wash over the board or canvas with a warm base colour, then if I decide to leave parts of the canvas bare , this colour adds a glow to the finished painting.

For example, if you want to teach them about minibeasts, you can try our amazing Minibeast Themed Colouring Sheets. We included a great variety of illustrations to enjoy at the end of a busy day or to use during a science lesson.

I prefer to mix my secondary hues (orange/violet/green) from my primaries, I find this helps to further my understanding of colour and adds harmony to a painting, not to mention saving money. Teaching your kids about a certain topic can be a struggle sometimes and thinking about different resources to do this in a fun and engaging way it will take a lot of time and effort.

Colouring can be considered a type of meditation, because most of the time the process gives our mind a state of peace. That’s because when colouring, a part of our brain, the amygdala, just relaxes and allows our mind to get some rest. What I find fascinating is that nature does the same balancing, and so really we are just learning to see what has already been done by a far superior hand.

When we colour, our two hemispheres of the brain communicate with each other and generate a creative process, helping us to choose colours and stay inside the lines.
