Explore color values by painting tints and shades in an abstract work in gouache.

The key to this exercise is to create several tints and shades of different colors, lay them all out on watercolor paper, and see how they work with each other.

This tutorial is developed from my Skillshare class: Paint Color Wheel in Gouache, where I explain common color terms in detail including hue, saturation, value, tint, tone, & shade.

You can read about my creative process for this tutorial in the blog post here.

Enjoy the tutorial and see if you could do a similar painting.

Happy creating!
