How do I start adding "random" colors to my paintings?I feel like I have a good grasp on light but I see lots of great painters add random color accents to their work that look great but are clearly not part of the scene light, whenever I try something like that it just looks wrong and distracting and I'm not seeing any progress so I was wondering if there's something that rules that principle on how to apply it
you can vary hue without affecting value. the painting will still read well if values are good
>>7137508as long as you have the same value for the same plane, you can shift your hues around and it will kinda workusing some kind of logic (i.e. light bounces around, so the local color of nearby objects will affect each other) works best
>>7137508Exaggerate a cool or warm area. I saw an example where the artist had painted a metal spoon, then changed a cool grey to a blue.
watch peter chan's project city course
>>7137514Shouldn't the mortar in the OP pic have a darker value than the bricks then? Realistically mortar is darker than bricks yet the blues, greens, and purples are all lighter than the bricks
>>7137530the vast majority of the world use mortar that's lighter than bricks brother
>>7137508warm light cool shadow, and other way around. and playing with neutrals and shit.paint more itll become obvious to you.
>>7137538And yet these look like cinder blocks in a favela, you can see the lit side blocks are more grey than orange or brown
>>7137543That's an obvious rule you first learn when you start painting, I'm talking about stuff like pic related where it's completely random
>>7137550what are you talking about
>>7137564
>>7137565that's how brick looks anon have you not been outside?
>>7137508these might be useful
>>7137574
>>7137573Anon at first I thought you were blind, now I fear you're losing your grip with reality, not only are these obviously grey cinder blocks, they're bigger than the car windows implying they're huge and not tiny clay bricks
>>7137577anon i fear the same for you, do you not see that the OP picture is stylized?
>>7137583>that imageAnon's mind is gone
>>7137584what's more likely anon, that the artist painted your big cinderblocks orange on purpose or that he stylized them to be bigger?the autism you must have to fixate on this must be debilitating, hope you're managing
>>7137588They aren't orange in the OP image, are you colorblind on top of being delusional?
>>7137577it's red and white dumb, the color temperature relation alone disproves your assertions. your "proof" by pointing to size is laughable, no one is obligated to draw exactly to model, especially for something as inconsequential as a brick and especially in the context of a heavily stylized picture. It's called artistic license, a concept that must be foreign to you. keep hurling insults at that other anon though, surely that makes your idiotic conjectures more authoritative.
>another episode of ic discusses colorah my favorite show
>red and white bricks according to /ic/
>>7137597neither are they grey like you're infering, again hope you've got the support you need
>>7137609They absolutely are grey tinted yellow by the sun
>>7137608I was looking at the bricks near the van but red can be explained from the bounce light. it's warm tannish stone with relatively cooler and lighter mortar under the assumption the house is using the same material for the walls as it is for the gate area
>>7137610and the grey cinderblocks in shadow being tinted by..?
why can you guys accept that a kids head being wider than his shoulders but not a wall being whatever the fuck colour they want
>Light grey favela cinder blocks with pure white mortar tinted yellowish in the lit side by the sun and tinted a darker red/orange in the shadowed side due to bounce light from the groundNever change /ic/
>>7137620looking at the house to the right I don't think the assumption about the same type of stone being used on the walls and the gate area holds. the building walls are a distinct color from the gate bricks, even while accounting for changes in lighting.
>>7137633Not only are you wrong, you're also not very bright
>>7137673except the red is not confined to that area that you circled, it goes all the way to the right side and appears on the right ride building at almost the same intensity. again engaging with someone who cannot debate without hurling insults is tiring, good luck in your autistic endeavors.
>>7137686>it goes all the way to the right side and appears on the right ride building at almost the same intensity
>>7137686Not him but that's, **obviously**, artistic freedom. I don't understand why he argues with what seems to be an obvious bait
