Art Lesson: Color Theory. Learn a working knowledge of color theory, including: primary and secondary colors, complementary colors, warm and cool colors. Color Theory is a set of basic rules for mixing colors to achieve a desired result. Wyland Tip: many fish can see a fairly good range of color. In some cases it's not as good as what we humans see - but it's much better than cats and dogs. Scientists say that good color vision helps animals find food on the land or in the water.

In WYLAND'S ART STUDIO, marine-life artist and environmental conservationist Wyland - best-known for his epic series of 91 life-size marine murals - takes viewers step-by-step through the creation of one of his vibrant photorealistic paintings. Wyland works on canvas with non-toxic water-based oil paint to re-create scenes from the Pacific Ocean. His subjects include: bottlenose dolphins, orcas, seascapes, sea lions, coral reef, sea otters, turtles, Great White Sharks, Gray Whales, Emperor Penguins, pelicans, whale tails and kissing dolphins. In keeping with his eco-conscious approach to painting, Wyland closes each episode with a tip for helping the environment.
