There is a saying: "Value does all the work and color gets all the credit!" So true!

@marikothecheetah9342 Жыл бұрын

I really don't get the whole: mind your values, ignore the color thing. Yes, shadows are important and yes, highlights are important, but I've seen them driven to extreme, where the subjects in their painting were looking like from plasticine. Colour can be used to create shadow and hence learning about the colour and what it can do is invaluable. Just saying: value refers only to black and white drawings, because guess what - you are practically working with one colour - black, and its hues and saturation. Screaming all the time about values and not how colour can actually represent the values in the painting is so common. And then we have oversaturated, overcontrasted plasticine paintings. IF you grayscale many of the masters' paintings they will be within the same value. How odd... Oh yes, it's sometimes more about the contrast and the colour depth than only its value on the hue and saturation scale. :/

These are really good tips for beginners. Especially how important values are. You can go wrong with color but if your values are correct your painting will still look good. Beautiful composition as always ☺️ waiting for the background one! 😄

I just love your painting tutorials Anna. You are very skilled and just watching you lay the colour down mesmerises me, I could watch you paint all day I think. To have you pass on your wisdom while you are painting is wonderful to someone like myself who is self taught and trying to develop my skills. Thank you so much.

@parthsavyasachi9348 Жыл бұрын

Your advice is pretty good for beginners. Specially the advice that colors are not important but the values are. Whats amusing is that once we come to intermediate levels and want to improve further colors again become important. What colors you use hugely impact the final product. This is because colors they play with each other and behave in a group. Great masters understand this very well and use it. We mere mortals can't do that so we must focus on values.

Thank you for sharing your tips. I find myself being impatient and not just wanting to do so many layers or take the time to learn how watercolors work together best. I appreciate you encouraging us to get a few pieces of good paper just to see what it's like. I would love to hear more of your story. Perhaps you've already shared this in another video and I missed it. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us. Blessings.

Excellent illustration of your point with the branch, and the fact that the colors are unexpected (although complimentary to the bird), makes the picture all the better.
