Having a better understanding of colours before creating artwork or learning the vocabulary of colours before my Art on Surface course should be a must.
Here is the step by step procedure I have created with Illustrator.
The best is to do this on your computer to understand the process and then to create your own Colour Wheel using either Gouache or Acrylic paint.
