well the thing about this is yes, you can do fantastic portraits with minimal colors, but most often, the colors you want to use are the colors you'll get in a large set. when you have a smaller set, most of them are just the flat primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, without much variation.

@BirdwithaBrush 5 жыл бұрын

Very cool to see how much you can accomplish with a limited palette. I think it would also be instructive to see you do some drawings using the 10-12 pencils that come in the small sets since I suspect that it what many people end up starting with and it would be encouraging for them to see how to mix colours and get natural looking subjects with those starter pencils.

This is probably the best, fastest, most inspiring video I've watched so far on this subject. I learned so much in under 20 minutes. I used to draw in high school and tech school, I've won several awards in state, did two of my school yearbooks covers, inside art, etc.. but haven't drawn seriously for around 20 years, and I've gotten quite rusty, and have forgotten a few things over the time. You are bringing it all back to me, and your art is amazing. Thank you.

@marycage5214 5 жыл бұрын

It really makes sense when you think about it. All colors come from the primary colors: red, yellow, blue. Theoretically those are all you need and the black and brown for contrast. And you are a talented lady, so these techniques are super easy for you. I made the mistake of buying tons of supplies in a bunch of media, and I get lost trying to use them all. A lot of what I bought was a waste as I will never use it all.
