  • Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
  • Today we'll be using a limited palette of (mostly) two colors, red and blue, for a fantasy-inspired watercolor bird painting. Come relax or paint with me as I talk about what any of this has to do with a book about time travelling super agents, poetic letters that are the best examples of purple prose, and looking fate straight in the eyes and giving it a good punch because love is love is love.

    I've always loved to watch people paint, but you bring the process to a level I've not seen before. Your brush strokes are... musical. I'm not sure how else to say it, but it's as if your strokes are dancing the painting to life. This is the first video of yours that I've viewed. It won't be the last.

    Your two-color painting videos are interesting. After seeing the other one of sienna and gray, I got the same colors to try. I hope you have time to make another video like this in the near future.

    This artwork reflects poetry in style. There is a lyrical harmony in the composition - the blue circle resembles a mirror amulet, referring perhaps symbolically to the prose that gave you inspiration. This minimalist watercolor concept is beautiful to look at, I hope you shall continue to delight your viewers with other similar paintings - and your words "...looking fate straight in the eyes and giving it a good punch because love is love is love." absolutely nails it. The World really needs more of this kind of attitude!

    I really enjoy the two color palette videos, I have seen two so far... as a learner I found myself thinking, I need more colors! I am really beginning to appreciate what can be done, the beauty in simplicity. If you have other two color combos I would love to see them. Thank you!

    This reminds me of Daniel Smith colors cerulean blue chromium and iridescent scarab red, which also look good together (but ISR has a shimmer). I like perelene green, it's always on my palette. I'll have to give perelene red another look. Thanks for sharing. It was also nice to see a short real time painting.

    Uniqueness….. I’m enjoying your way of creating experiences of paints color values and paper. Your video and illustration is just what I needed as I’m at that place where I’m bored and have been seeking something meaningful in my experiences of color, separating, contrasting, blending, and yes the paper used. Thank you …. Love how you speak and teach ….. how you connect with the medium …. Where you seem to truly find a connection🕊️🦋🕊️🦋🕊️

    Beautiful! Some of my favorite and best paintings are limited palette. I think values are almost more important than color and when I do limited palette it forces me to really think about the values and tonal quality.

Thanks for the mention and brief synopsis as it got me curious. I'm enjoying seeing your watercolor process and also discovering other stuff, too. Good times.

      Oh I'm glad I got you intrigued enough to check it out! I'm VERY curious to see what you'll think of it. I've recommended it to people who either loved it or hated it due to the style it's written in.

    Fabulous composition and voice over! You speak your fascinating ideas so clearly. Watching and listening to you is indeed meditative. I have been experimenting with a limited palette. I can highly recommend Hazel Soans book, "Art of the Limited Palette", which I found out about on a YT interview that she gave.

    I love the way you paint. I like your blue and red composition. I saw one from another artist using burnt sienna and payne's grey. They were beautiful. What brand is your paintbrush for this video? You get it to do a lot of things. I once made my living with a paintbrush, painting animation cels, back in the early '70s. My brush was very versatile. A #2 Brumbscher, I think.

      Zero control on my end, unfortunately. It's all Google and what they believe the viewer would be interested in. But ugh - in a video where a queer person talks about a queer book, that's terrible irony.
