Course Plan:1.In the first section we will work with Complementary Harmony: Colorsthat are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to becomplementary colors. Thehigh contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant lookespecially when used at full saturation. This color scheme must bemanaged well so it is not jarring. Inthis section You will learn: Adjustmentlayers that You will use in the future for Your Color Grading inPhotoshopBasicWorkflow Techniques for Complementary ColorsWorkingwith Gradient mapsMoreadvanced techniques, such as working with masks to have full controlon the color, different methods of working with colors2. Thenwe will move into harmonies with more colors like splitcomplementary and triadic harmony: Thesplit-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementarycolor scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colorsadjacent to its complement. Thiscolor scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementarycolor scheme, but has less tension. Atriadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around thecolor wheel. Triadiccolor harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale orunsaturated versions of your hues.

Afterthat we will move to the section with Analogic colors, and we willwork on the portrait of Misha, where we have great example of thissort of harmony, and also very challenging one. Analogouscolor schemes use colors that are next to each other on the colorwheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortabledesigns. Analogouscolor schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious andpleasing to the eye. Inthis section You will learn: Howto plan You work with analogic color harmonyhowto built contrasts around the image and work with lights andhighlights to draw more attention to the objecthowto to color grading using advanced techniques we learned, on imagewith analogic colorOverthis two sections we will be developing really advanced ways of workon two images with different composition.4.in the last section we will have a walk through some other not sopopular color harmonies, just to make sure You will be prepared forany color challenges You will have in the future.
