Can it be done? Can you paint a landscape with only 2 colors?! AND, James Gurney paints with a limited palette to show me up. Watch his video: • Gurney and Proko Collab
James Gurney’s channel: / gurneyjourney
A few weeks ago at the Plein Air Convention, I met up with James Gurney (Creator of Dinotopia)! We roamed around in search of things to paint, causing trouble and getting kicked out by security. We decide to make it even harder and use ultra limited palettes. I painted using orange and violet (plus black and white). The struggle to paint green trees without green paint...

oh wow it's James Gurney. I had no idea it was him untill I saw the dinosaur at the end. I recognize his work. I love his book on color and light. Now that I know it was him, it doesn't surprise me he was able to such a great detailed plain air so quickly... his blockbuster plain air he did in 2000 has been a huge inspiration for me and my work as an artist... I love your wagon as well. Great video. thanks for sharing.

I love this video! I really enjoyed learning how great artists like you and James overcome challenges. It was really creative of you to come up with solutions when you lacked the paint you wanted. I thought it turned out so well! Smart idea to put warm greys to make the trees appear more green. I'd like to try plein air painting one day and not be a chicken. Your tips are very helpful! Thank you Stan :)

This is the absolute best video! I’m such a big fan of James Gurney and so enjoyed your interview with him on Draftsmen, too. Seeing you sketch out the tonal values in graphite first is such a great idea. I can’t believe I didn’t consider this vs figuring it out with paint as I go (I’m a beginner). Thanks for sharing this video!

@MrBlazinman 5 жыл бұрын

found his a channel a few weeks ago, its honestly very interesting and I've watched a few of his videos. He makes me want to better my painting skills although I'm not going for a concentration in it lmao, the fact he catches such defined detail in short amounts of time is wild.

Holy crow Proko, you got to paint with James Gurney, how awesome is that? This is one of my favorite videos on your channel. I really enjoy seeing a little bit more of your natural personality. I would love to see more videos of you out of the studio.

@migueangel510 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, Proko. I´m from Spain, and I´ve been following your from many years. I´m glad you´re starting to show videos for the use of color and acrylics. I´m writing you, because I´ve recently read the Gurney´s book about the use of color and light, and one of the things I want to know more is the choose of triangle in the color wheel. I notice in the video you select a curious set of colors and this choise produces an intriguing triangle. I hope you´ll do a video about the triangle´s issue. Sure it´ll help me feel I´m understand better it. Thanks for many interesting videos! :)

Such a great video! As a beginner, being able to watch the entire process really helped me understand how to work with b/w values early on and then selecting a corresponding color palette. Was really struggling with this before.

I am just constantly amazed what can be created with such a limited palette! You would think orange and purple wouldn't work in such a painting, but the end results feels right. I would love to create outdoor photos & videos with a similar limited palette; I am not sure how to go about it, but this video has given me the spark to try and figure it out. Many thanks, my good sir!
