Learn how to control your colours, and take advantage

of different colour theory principles to make your art pop!

Hands down, on the ranking of the most important art principles, you find colour th eory on a solid second place, only beaten by the most important theory; values. Fr om all of the different aspects of art studies, colour studies are probably the most studied of them all, and it’s probably also the hardest one to master. Staying on to p and handling the most important principles of art will give your advantages in the art scene for sure and shouldn’t be overlooked.

学习怎么控制色彩，在不同色彩理论中吸取精华，让你的艺术作品变得更受欢迎！

我们按照艺术理论的重要性来排列，你会发现色彩理论排在第二位，仅次于最重要的：明度（这里指的是用素描关系绘制体积）。在艺术研究的不同方面里，色彩研究也许是最深奥的。而且也许是最难精通的。我们能肯定的说，掌握和处理最重要的艺术原理能够让你的艺术作品增添魅力，而且这也是不容忽视的。

The main characteristics of colour

The principle of colour might seem simple enough, but taking the four main charact eristics of colour into consideration; hue, value, saturation, and temperature, there a re really no limit of what you can do with this if you know a little about how it all works. There’s a lot of theory and studies on colour principles, and you don’t need to know them all to be ab le to create nice compositions of colour, but knowing a few of them is a good start for any artist.

色彩的主要特性

色彩原理看起来好像很简单，但是我们来考虑色彩的四个主要特性：色相，明度，饱和度（也就是纯度）和色温（色温简单说就是平常大家说的冷暖），如果你对这些色彩特性是怎么工作的了解一点的话，那么它们对你该怎么去画是毫无限制的。色彩原理的理论学科有很多种，不是需要了解所有理论才能创作出好的色彩作品，但掌握些理论对任何一位艺术家来说都是个好的开始。

Simultaneous contrast

同步对比

All colours and even greyscale values are influenced by their surrounding colour, an d can be used in several ways to create the expression you’re aiming for. This is i mportant to keep in mind when choosi ng your palette, and if you’re planning on ha ving a strongly saturated and dominant background colour, make sure to put the in fluence of this colour into account early in the process when blocking in your comp osition.

Surrounding colours also influence grey-scale surfaces. Look at the centre example a nd notice that the grey circles seem to absorb some of their surrounding colour. Th is can be used to create some very special and interesting effects in your compositi ons. The grey circles at the bottom all hav e the same greyscale value, but are influ enced by their surrounding value and therefore appears to be different from each o ther.

所有色彩甚至包括灰色，都会受到周围颜色的影响，色彩的这种特性可以通过各种方式应用到你的作品当中。当你选择色板的时候考虑到这一特性是非常重要的。而且当你打算用饱和度很高和面积很大的背景颜色时，确定在色彩草图之前的阶段就把颜色相互影响的特性考虑进去。

环境颜色同样会影响到灰色，看例图的中间一栏你就会发现灰色的圆点好像吸收了周围的颜色。这可以在你的作品中创作出一些特别而且有趣的效果。最下面一栏的例图中，圆点的明度都是一样的，但他们周围的颜色对圆点产生了影响，使它们看起来有了不用的明度。

The power of complimentary colours

补色的力量

Now, let’s take a look at that slightly intimidating device known as the colour wheel; what would an article about colour be without one, right? When working digitally, the importance of the three primary colours (the triangle in the centre) aren’t that i mportant as you mix colours differently on the computer, but you can still use this wheel to figure out your complimentary colours. If you look at the outer ring, the c olours positioned perfectly opposite each other are complimentary to the other; red versus green, blue versus yellow, and so on. These colours have the strongest cont rast, colour-wise and are a good choice to use in areas of interest to bring out atte ntion to specific part of your painting. Mix the two complimentary colours, and you end up with a neutral colour.

现在我们来看下这个有点诡异的东东，大家都管它叫色环~色环对于色彩作品来说是多么的不可或缺啊，是吧？当我们进行数字绘画时，三原色（中间的三角形就是三原色了）的重
