Thanks alot ❤for your amazing 👏 channel
Hope you guys enjoy this fun exploration of color using the color cube! If you don’t have the funds to purchase, however, go to painting number three and find my method for creating fun color palettes for free!
There was a lot in this! Color and value. So tempting to buy yet another tool – the color block, but I listened to what you said about not being compelled to purchase every thing. So far, I have not held myself to, or even set a budget. Went crazy the first year buying paint and sticks, etc, brushes and papers, then took about 8 months off from buying and attending live classes. Back to class, but the not crazy spending. Using what I have, and it’s so fun playing! Thank you for the inspiration and you have a really nice voice and cadence. ❤
Another great lesson. Thank you. Would that toned paper take clear gesso or a workable spray? Also, before painting, would a workable fixative give the paper more tooth?
Great lesson about color and value. My favorite is number 1!
Can these cards be used by water colour artists?
Very effective indeed! : )
The most misunderstood study throughout time… an age old question.
There are systems in place… also, subsystems in fact.
There are (6) colors: three primary, and three secondary. (Not counting blended colors.)
Regardless of temperature; each has its own singular Hue, in value. – This is a foundational mind set, (systemically)
This, I know to be true.
For example; in music, a C chord is made of its own system of three elements; the 1,3,5. But, let's compare it to a cup of coffee, (Monet Cafe style 😉
If we were to add cream to it, what would we have? Still, a cup of coffee, let's add sugar, then what? Still a cup of coffee.
The 'C' chord is a C regardless; if we flattened the 3rd it's now C,minor. But, still a C chord.
If we move up an interval, it's now a Sharp. If we add another 3rd, the 7th note, we end up having a C#min7, the most beautiful chord in my medicine bag. But still a cup of coffee.
Names of color have never served me, but having my own system has. 🤟
Interesting about being able to mix pastel colours on the paper when applied lightly
You’re right!
I love the first painting the most!
Interesting color combination!
I love your work.
Keep it up!
❤️❤️
I truly enjoyed this stream! Thank you!❤
I couldn't choose between the three. I love them all…Also, I love the idea of a color study book. I'm going to invest in one.
An interesting series of paintings, you are so right about practice & lots of it, keep copious colour notes & thumbnails. Converting to black & white is a great way to show values, 1 & 3 are fairly similar. My favourites are 1 & 2 I like the abstract nature of them. I find looking at masses of poppy's that the colour is so vibrant & quite overwhelming, an absolute pain to photograph 🙂
If one can. Or purchase the color cube then they should grab paint chips from the hardware store. Those have unique and beautiful palettes too.
I love them all. I keep getting drawn to pastel painting. I wish I had more hours in the day, lol.
