Excerpt from James Gurney's new teaching video "TRIADS." Download or stream his full-length tutorials at https://gumroad.com/l/color2
In this extended sample, Gurney demonstrates an outdoor still life using three colors of gouache and watercolor, but then switches colors for a more vibrant result. He also demonstrates how to make a "triad test" to chart the color interactions.
