Saturation - lesson in color

But if this were to be hung on a blue or green wall my choice would alter considerably. Now you

should understand color is about value, hue and saturation ... and how they should be considered

separate elements when describing and choosing 'color'. Theoretically this should all be obvious but

whenever I am teaching apprentice painters most of their difficulties arise when they grasp a brush.

Then they tend to forget completely about color theory and worry about everything else. If this

happens the student should be made to work out a separate color design before the painting is

begun.
