Your approach on color is praiseworthy! In structural visual theories there is not enough emphasis on isoluminance or the use of tone in same-value conditions. We find it in simultaneous contrast problem, but we don’t deepen it enough on tonal contrasts (complementary and caloric). The Bauhaus models of color, like the sphere or the circle of color, give us the false impression that the tones are ell arranged on same equatorial plane, at same median level. Actually, not only the neutral greys, but also the saturated tones have a value hierarchy corresponding as isoluminant level to a certain neutral grey. So, in practice, the isoluminant relation is established via complementary mixture of broken tones and colored greys in order to maintain a high level of saturation..

Nice work, make! You really included a lot of the specifics that many teachers glaze over (no pun intended), which, for someone at my intermediate level (pretty beginner at oil painting, but better with acrylics & watercolor) are really extremely important & beneficial to have you go into in such detail.

@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting I have tried some still life's in the past, and will certainly do so again. Unfortunately my painting area is my bedroom, and because of the layout and where my easel has to go, and where the window is, it's actually quite tricky to get it with good lighting, and I end up having to keep looking over my shoulder at the subject! I could use getting some bright LED lights really. My desk lamp is OK but very hot, and gives very harsh shadows.

@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking of doing a landscape to talk about broken colour, because it definitely applies to landscape painting. But this seemed an easier way to demonstrate it, that people could practice at home. Maybe I should do a further video on broken colour with a landscape?

@LyubomirIko 3 жыл бұрын

@@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting Definitely interested to see how you deal with some scenery with clouds and air perspective! Landscape paintings proposes quite a different set of problems I think, especially plain air ones. The change in light conditions and stuff like vegetation requires different response. Broken colour ideas apply there greatly too.

I see in Alex - the Spirit of Sargent & a great Teacher transcending every master & masterly strokes. This painting technique is parallel to wine making passed on to generations. We the present generation are enjoying the fruits. I am also tempted to say that Alex is gifted to be top notch painter & all are not gifted & there is nothing wrong in acknowledging it. That is how God made all of us different
