Art Words for Art Nerds - A Beginner Color Theory Exploration of Hue, Value, and Intensity
Did you go to art school? If you don’t have formal training but you love making art, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by some of the “language” of art. What you probably want to do is to learn some concepts and practice making beautiful paintings, right? That’s the goal here!

Calling all beginner artists! In this color theory class for even the newest beginner, we’ll keep it simple and focus on 3 color properties: hue, value, and intensity…and of course make a few quick and fun projects along the way.
Whether you choose to use these words in your art vocabulary or not is up to you, but you’ll end this class with three concepts to think about, which can help you make color choices as you create your own art!
Hopefully this will be the first class in a series where we simplify art words for art nerds like ourselves, who probably did not go to art school.
What you’ll learn:
Three color properties: hue, value, and intensity.
Examples and a quick project page to practice each one.
How to think about using these properties as you create your own artwork.
Who might enjoy this class:
Beginner artists who want to learn the very basics of color theory.
Artists who have experienced frustration when selecting colors.
Anyone who might enjoy a quick and simple project.
I’ve included A downloadable workbook full of quick and simple mini projects to help you practice each concept.
We’ll walk through each color property and workbook project so that you feel confident with the process and excited to make decisions about your own art. You’ll end this class with a cute little mug painting that you can share in the project section.
