Additional Tip: Don't be afraid to mess around! Creativity thrives on trying things. That's an important thing that can be seen from the people on YouTube or other platforms that share about artwork. If you feel very stuck or you just can't figure out, use internet. Sometimes when you have more examples, you'd get a different perspective
Color Mixing
Adding variety to the image by using your own mixture is fun, you can do it in GoPaint too
- Primary colors: red, yellow, blue
- Secondary colors: green, orange, violet (make more shades, use a cool shade that looks great)
- Tertiary colors: colors from mixing primary & secondary colors. (make shades that suit the canvas).

Color Wheel

- See what you feel about them
- Now put both colors together, the blend, and try other colours
- Mix up colors for better quality, It might feel messy, just do what you feel is the right tone for your painting (some might look strange!)

Unleashing Your Creativity!
Don't be shy to express yourself through color. Think about your feelings and make your picture about what excites you! There is always room to have variety with each picture that you'll paint, so always keep that feeling of self-expression. What do your artwork make you feel? What colors suit your ideas best? Start with the colors that come from the inside of you, it's a form of painting the ideas in your heart.
