Quick Tip 273 - Brown's not Brown

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A subscriber asked about painting brown tree trunks. We couldn't find any brown ones (mostly shades of grey,) but artist/art teacher Dianne Mize did find a couple of brown subjects that use the same process as a brown tree trunk. She also notes that there are no original browns in paint.

    You're so much fun. Great lesson. First thing I thought of, soon as I saw the shoes was Vincent Van Gogh's Pair of Shoes from 1886, the Pair of Shoes he did in '88 & the Three Pair of Shoes he did, also in '86. The saturations & hues are so different, but looking back at them now, I am also crazed that internet reproductions are so varied, it drives me a little insane because I'm looking at Van Gogh's art, but not necessarily the way he painted it.

    Laurie, the key to getting good "browns" is to switch how you look at the away from "brown" to their hue, value and saturation. What we call "browns" are most likely oranges, red oranges and reds, all at a low saturation.

But which blue is meant. Which one is the original blue for this statement a dark blue like Prussian blue, a lighter blue like Kobalt blue or Ultramarine blue. Maybe you can help.

  • @IntheStudioArtInstruction

    @IntheStudioArtInstruction

    4 жыл бұрын

    When we refer to color in general, we first need to recognize its hue. Blue, as it appears on the color wheel or on the spectrum, is closest to Cobalt Blue. Ultramarine blue leans slightly towards Violet and Prussian Blue leans towards Green. Whether all colors can be mixed from the three primaries depends upon either having all three primaries at their closest hue registration or on having on the palette both a cool and warm version of the three primaries.

Not saying such aren't art or pleasing to some viewer's eye, just that to paint, even a semblance, of what a real tree trunk looks like, brown should be forgotten.
