First of all, the distinction between color composition and design color is not a college degree. Junior colleges can also have design color classes, and undergraduates can also have color composition classes. This depends on the curriculum of each school.

Let’s talk about the differences first, and then the painting methods.

The difference between the two is that color composition pays attention to the (unique) laws of the color itself and carries out training, and does not have a clear design purpose. For example, topics: color attributes, color contrast, color harmony, etc.

Designing color generally involves targeted color application training after understanding and mastering the basic rules of color in terms of color composition.

According to the nature of the courses, the color composition focuses on basic courses, while the design colors focus on professionalism. For example, topics: Hainan style color design, Sichuan food city color design, etc.

Drawing method: Due to the popularization of computers, teaching methods and training methods are no longer limited to a specific method. Personal suggestions The traditional hand-painting method is combined with computer software, and the design colors can be appropriately focused on software painting methods.

Tools: Traditional hand-painting mostly uses gouache pigments and the subtractive color mixing method. The pens are also mostly gouache, white cloud brushes, and outline pens.

Computer software is generally based on graphic design software such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe PHTOSHOP.

I hope it can solve your doubts. I won’t go into details about the specific knowledge points and techniques here!
