Notes for an Anon who asks,
ā Hey Justin, thanks for your reply earlier. Just wanted to expand on my previous ask - do you have any tips for achieving colour harmony across an entire painting? I often feel like the objects in my paintings look disjointed, like I havenāt chosen the ārightā brown for trees or the ārightā green for grass when I use opaque brushes, this isnāt so much of an issue when Iām painting a single object or character but when painting an entire scene I find it very difficult to tie everything together. ā
btw, this is COMPLETELY UNACADEMIC- I mean, parts may be āacademicā but this is not meant to be a textbook. Terms are used VERY CASUALLY and the information is not at all comprehensive. This is an extremely brief superficial look at the term āColor Harmonyā.
If you want ACTUAL color education, either take Sam Nielsenās Schoolism class, or get James Gurneyās Color and Light book, or do both!!!!!
That said, I hope it helps some folks!
