I was an art major in college, in the 60's. And then went into management and never used what I had learned. I haven't painted in years, but am now trying to paint a background for a large model railroad layout focused on the east Texas piney woods. I was stumped on how to do shadows under the trees until this video. Thank you for the excellent teaching methods and explanations. I am practicing on made up practice sections until I feel comfortable painting on the actual backdrops.

One little hint, Candace. It actually can get easier to work things out in studies rather than to try to remember them. After all these decades of painting, I still run into passages that stop me in my tracks. THAT'S the time to stop and solve the problem in a study rather than try to work it out on the painting. In my mind, it's the same as a musician working out a musical phrase, the blending into a performance.

Thank you, I needed this just now.

I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw this tip offering. Thank you. I think I may be over thinking my greens for example; in direct sunlight I want to put lightest light with lightest shadow (maybe this is shallow shadow). Then in the medium shadow (core) I am grouping the medium values lighter and darker/warmer and cooler, In deep shadow colors I use more desaturated colors; warm and cool. The real confusion for me starts when using cool light warm shadows. So....would this mean more viridian in the original mix and then more reds in shadow? For the most part I understand what your tip explains. More practice even if I use a green apple or other green form will probably help make is less complicated. Am I getting out of line with my process? Thank you so much. Onward I go.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

5 жыл бұрын

Candace, greens vary so much it is best to depend upon observation as to their color in various places, but if you remember that in shadow, the lightest value will be about the same (sometimes a bit lighter) than the darkest dark not in shadow, you will keep your values reading correctly. In cool light, shadows are warmer than areas not in shadow, but warmer might mean they have in them more purple or orange or green or any other hue that is warmer than the colors not in shadow. Warmer doesn't always mean adding red or yellow. I have two video tutorials that might help--In Series 37, Working with Shadows, Lessons 3 & 4. In these two I use a hay bail--in warm light for lesson 3 and cool light for lesson 4.

Thank you, good video!

Say, Dianne, I have been watching these for about an hour and I have been painting the color chart studies that you've shown us with the blue and orange. (I have just moved on to the purple and yellow... My question is: am I first and foremost working to find the true complimentary color or am I working to study the gradations? Thank you, I have learned a lot from this approach to color and to finding the neutrals. WHY are we finding the neutral, is it to "prove" that the compliment is true? All in all, very interesting and informative. To ask another way: Am I looking for the true compliment so that the colors used in the painting will be the most harmonious, the most visually pleasing? (Or, again, not to belabor the point, am I learning how to shadow and shade for depth and variation of the hue and varying intensity?) I learned a great lesson when you said, in effect, "Don't start out with the full intensity of color or you'll have no place to go to high light".Your lessons have been invaluable to me.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

First, this blue/orange Quick Tip is the first in a series of 5. In this one, I was showing you how to adjust and mix for a scientific study of compliments. In the one coming up this week, I'll be showing you the steps for making the chart. The next week, one way to approach mixing yellows/purples, and so on. The purpose for doing these studies is to develop a skill for controlling color/value/intensity mixtures. Since this is a scientific study, our goal is to develop a method for finding exact complements and yes, to be able to mix an exact neutral from them. During the process of developing the chart (coming Wednesday), you learn to control both value and intensity of colors. So, in the long run - just like a chemistry experiment - the color chart exercises can develop the skill of seeing nuances of hue, value and intensity which will feed over into enhancing your painting skills.

Sure thing! Look for it in late June as we film these several weeks in advance.

As there is a complimentary color in the shadow but no complimentary color in light, it seems that we can not make the color of light by adding white and yellow to the color of shade. Then can I subsume that to make the colors of "in shadow" and "not in shadow" of any shape, I need to start with local color of that shape? Or can I make the color of " in shadow" by first mixing the color of " not in shadow " and then just make it darker and add complimentary color to make " in shadow " color of that shape. I understand that to make the light color of a shape which is not in direct light, I can add white to the color of " in shadow". Thank you so much for your valuable teachings.

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

5 жыл бұрын

Reza, there might very well be complimentary color in light, depend upon the local color-- the color of tree trunks or dirt, for example. And yes, beginning with the local color of the shape is our best bet. By doing so, we begin "in tune". In the long run, it's best to depend upon observation and make color mixing decisions by what we know bout how color behaves as it receives various degrees of light or to the extent it is in shadow, considering the temperature of the light.

It gets easy once you manage the technical side of it.

I currently working on a bayou scene at dawn. Much moisture in the air, old cypress. I believe the dull gray green references apply. Question: Clearly the light shifts won't warm toward yellow much, if at all. But can I say the same for shadow shifts? Does it warm toward dark blue green or only slightly darker gray green (little blue)?

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

5 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't dare make a rule about this. Generally, in cool or overcast light, shadows will be warmer. That could me a shift towards purple or orange, but observing the hue difference is your best bet for getting that color right. It could also mean a shift towards neutral.

@jiclemens52

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you. My last sentence was badly worded. I meant, "Does it SHIFT toward dark blue green..." I think the observational part is hard. Takes practice but I think there's less gradation in moist low light conditions.

I can guess or understand how to gradate with other hues, but what about darker hues like purple / ultramarine? How to make them warmer/cooler & lighter like you shown with the green hue using yellow & white?

Every tube color has its inherent value which we can make lighter by adding white, prior to mixing it with another color. I did that here in Quick Tip 223.

Arvind, if you are using the most highly saturated yellow and oranges, then using their complements or their split complements is the best way to darken them. For yellow the complement is violet and the split complement is a set of red-violet and blue-violet; for orange the complement is blue and the split is blue-violet and red-violet.

But what if we want to degrade of yellow. According to this theory we shoul add orange and white to get a lighter tone???

@IntheStudioArtInstruction

5 жыл бұрын

This tip was to get you going in the right direction of realizing that adding white reduces the warmth. It all depends upon the direction in which you want to lean the lighter green so yes, adding yellow orange or even orange might give you what you are seeing or aiming for. We do best when we taken it past the theory and put it into practice with studies.

@melih gumuscay, the only way to get yellow lighter is to add white to it. It is already the lightest color on the color wheel. There are a number of tube colors formulated towards a lighter yellow, but my take is that just adding while gets the job done. Notice that, depending upon the yellow you are using, some lean towards green, others sit pretty close to spectrum yellow and some lean towards orange.
