Colour Theory - Tumblr Posts

1 year ago

Also to add to this, if you paint with RYB and only have one paint tube for each primary, ur seriously limiting yourself. If you have a cool and a warm version of each primary, u can mix pretty much any colour. This is called colour bias and it literally saved my colour mixing.

To make a long story into a short one: warm blue has more red. Warm yellow also has more red. So when you mix them you're essentially mixing all the primary colours, which creates brown (albeit a very greenish brown). To bypass this problem you can mix cool blue and cool yellow, bc cool yellow has a blue bias and vice versa. So no brown undertone.

I learnt all this after a very frustrated past me decided to google how to paint better green, and i found this article which explains colour bias in more detail:

How to Mix Vivid Greens and Why You Must Understand Color Bias
Draw Paint Academy
Learn how to mix vivid green using different blues and yellows and what color bias means.

It's a very interesting read and it's the article that made me go from hating colour theory to liking it, so i highly recommend it :)

I'm thinking of making a series.

Making two images, one in the day and one at night the nighttime one will feature a ghost and a story behind it.

The main goal is to practice backgrounds and lighting, maybe even colour theory cause boy.... I suck at backgrounds.

Why ghosts.... Honestly I've been thinking a lot about life and death. About what happens when we go and how it effects or doesn't effect the world we leave behind

As you wonder down the country roads, passing through the flooded fields.

A ghastly shape catches your eye, as they gracefully drift by.

The knowledge of their departure is lost, to all those living currently.

Yet you are theft wondering if others see them fluttering. Upon the water surface gliding by so quietly, as the death that took them.

As You Wonder Down The Country Roads, Passing Through The Flooded Fields.

just uttered the phrase "colour theory is more art than science" out of my lips and got telepathically attacked by the seinfeld sauna image like akira

Is my blue your blue?

Test your color perception with this interactive test.

This was rather interesting. You always get into arguments with people who perceive a colour differently from yourself.

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??
