Making a 3 Color Palette

1. Make some decisions about how you want your color palette. Do you want it warm...maybe you want a cool color palette.
2. Choose the the threeprimary colors. They will be Yellow, Red, Blue. There are many shades to every color and the shade is what determines the warmth or coolness of the colors.
3. Slide the opacity bar to about halfway.
4. Select a Bristles brush. The one used here is 'Thick and wet'.
5. Start painting in the color that you chose for the yellow. Color this in at the top third of a circle, as you see in the screenshot.
6. Go with the color of red that you chose and use it to color in the bottom right of the palette.
7. With the color blue, fill in the last third of the circle.
8. While you are adding the colors, you want to mix them together by coloring on top of the other color, back and forth.
9. Be sure that you don't mix them together too thoroughly. You want a color palette, not a brown blob.
