What’s your favorite primary color? Do you know the science and history behind it?
The colors we use today aren’t new, they’re part of a story that stretches back hundreds, even thousands of years.
Red, yellow, and blue were once gathered from earth, stone, and plants. They were precious, symbolic, and deeply intentional. Artists used them to communicate life, light, devotion, and emotion long before modern paint existed.
I still work from that same foundation, using a limited primary palette from to create watercolor florals and skin tones that feel calm, natural, and alive.
This is Week 1 of my color science series: Primary Colors: Science and History.
Next week, we’ll talk about what happens when mixing colors go wrong, and how to fix it.
💬 Which color do you feel most connected to: red, yellow, or blue?

There are times in my studio when I have to set my brush down—not because the painting is difficult, but because of what it’s holding.
This commission started like many others. And then their story deepened. At some point, it stopped being about what they looked like and became about legacy—about honoring someone who mattered deeply to a family.
It got me thinking about my own legacy, and the tear gates opened. My kids, grandson, husband, and all of my loved ones…even the people I’ve impacted through my career as a nurse and educator.
I don’t share every finished piece. Some aren’t meant for the internet. They’re meant for hallways, living rooms, and the people who live with them every day.
This is why I care so deeply about commission work. It’s not about creating something perfect. It’s about creating something that tells another human’s story.
For those moments, I offer Elizabeth Priller Studio gift cards—so you can choose the timing, the story, and the art thoughtfully.
If you’ve been carrying a loved one’s story in your heart that you’re not quite sure what to do with yet, my DMs are open. No pressure. Just a conversation.
