Transcript

[0:00] Painting is the art of applying colour to a surface such as paper, canvas or a wall using brushes, sponges or fingers. [0:40] Different tools give different effects: dabbing a sponge can make trees look leafy and clouds look soft. [1:20] Analogous colours sit next to each other on the colour wheel, like yellow, yellow-green and green. [2:00] Because they are neighbours, analogous colours blend smoothly and create a harmonious, comfortable mood. [2:45] Warm colours like red and orange feel energetic, while cool blues and greens feel calm and restful.
