So crazy Anne. I have not been catching your videos in my sub page. I was thinking about you this evening and searched your name and I have missed a good handful of your videos. ❤❤
Thank you for the video! I'm always a week behind, hope to maybe catch up this weekend. I find that it's really important to me to carve a bit of a time to do this. It's like colors speak directly to a part of me that I have no conscious awareness of and it's just so interesting to keep finding out new tastes, feelings, moods.. 🪄
Making Colors Sing looks like an excellent book. Often what makes a painting look too busy and a bit confusing is the too much contrast in value next to one another. Typically folks make their hi-lights way too bright. Where it is the correct mid-tones on either side of the hi-light that makes it pop. While making value gradients of value water color is a must. It won't work so well for oil paintings. The transition in oil painting is laying strokes of values next to each other.
@@ltwig476 I think I understand where you are going with this. A parallel between color and value: using "mouse" colors as settings or for jewels of pure, luminous colors, and using mid-tones as a lead-up to high value highlights. Is that what you were thinking about?
@@annelivingstonart Or simply it is most always the colors and tones placed next to the color or tone that makes it what it is. Like rather than making the hi-light super bright white, just tone down the colors next to it and the hi-light will then illuminate at the correct brightness.
Fun! I’m traveling and just have my watercolor pan with a very limited palette and it was nice to make little popping jewels.
Thanks for this post Anne - this is something I think about a lot, and look for sort of unconsciously in art. Nice examples you made!
@@noodgenoodgerson2660 Thank you so much! It's like little sips from a firehose. So much we could talk about! A lifetime of videos!
I mispronounced Natalie Dadamio's name! Sorry, Natalie! ❤

@@darialemeshkin7579 Yes!!! Colors (and pigments!) are so...themselves. I feel like they speak to me as well! ♥️♥️♥️

Great video my friend, color theory is for someone instinctive and for others quite confusing, your video is very useful. 🤍🤍
@@AleksdeArt Thank you so much, and...Agreed! There seems to be a range of comfort levels when it comes to color.
