Something about colour theory clicked for me when I was painting this piece - so I had to share it! it might seem like common sense to some, but I think these are really good things to always be thinking about when you're creating a painting. This is mostly my approach to some aspects of colour theory - not a full-on tutorial. I hope you enjoy!
