    My biggest challenge atm is to keep playing and not get attached to any of it too early.

    YOU HAVE JUST TAUGHT ME MORE IN THIS VIDEO THAN I DON'T KNOW WHEN! The contrast, too much the same marks or "bitty" as you put it, contrast colors, warm and cold, etc etc etc. I have a couple paintings I can't figure out and now i think i can maybe try something using your advice. Thanks so much!

    Omg “bitty”, exactly, it was like a bullet to my brain, that is why that one over there in the corner starring back at me isn’t working! Contrast with balance and scale, yes. Your video actually helped me. Thank you.

    So fabulous as always! I often get attached to a color or a mark and then have WAY too much going on. Was this done with a limited palette? I know your color mixing is magical--so wondering if you were keeping it "simple" or if you just grabbed what moved you?

    • @cherylreid5768
      @cherylreid5768 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Patty. It might help to think of red, yellow, orange as fire, and blue as ice. That’s just a start as other colours are a bit more complicated. For example green is generally considered to be a mix of blue (cool) and yellow (warm). Whether a green is cool or warm therefore depends on which colour is dominant in the mix. It’s the same with purple, generally a mix of red (warm) and cool (blue). Which colour is dominant? Of course it gets much more nuanced than this! There are warm and cool reds, warm and cool yellows, warm and cool blues, depending on the pigments in the mix, which is why artists often have all of these in their basic palette. If you mix a warm red with a warm yellow you will get the brightest orange. On the other hand, if you mix a warm red with a cool yellow you will get a subdued orange because now you have red and yellow and blue in the mix and they tend to tone each other down. This is just a very basic explanation but I hope it helps. There are some good books which explain this well. Betty Edwards’s book on colour is good but you might also like to watch Mark Eanes’ you tube videos on colour.
      Thank you Louise for another great video!
