I have never studied colour theory so it is all instinct with me. Our approaches are really quite different even if we end up in the same place (sometimes!).Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068141700005383278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-29029107905443115412007-02-11T06:37:00.000-08:002007-02-11T06:37:00.000-08:00what lovely work, I've bookmarked your blog to com...what lovely work, I've bookmarked your blog to come back to :)<BR/><BR/>a fellow colourist :)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-16004393769990063232007-02-11T05:42:00.000-08:002007-02-11T05:42:00.000-08:00That's right, and temperature in color is somethin...That's right, and temperature in color is something that I actually rather dislike. Many yellows can be cooler than some blues.<BR/>When I was coming up, I was taught hue, value and intensity. I behave as though intensity trumps temperature.<BR/>BTW, I favor red, because I "like" both sides of red - the yellow and the blue. The yellow side (or green, if you will) of blue disquiets me. I find it useful, but I don't favor it.<BR/>French ultramarine, however, may be my favorite, uh... I will say my favorite of a 12 color "wheel".<BR/>I was recently challenged by an artist's reference to a 2 color theory. He means red and blue. I suppose that may be a useful tool in realist painting; considering some of the weaknesses in yellow pigments.<BR/>Kind of reminds me of ski waxes. The simple man only waxes with two "colors" of wax.<BR/>Thanks for getting into colors - I love it!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-56320161249098270452007-02-11T05:39:00.000-08:002007-02-11T05:39:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-17763288759445300672007-02-11T03:54:00.000-08:002007-02-11T03:54:00.000-08:00I don't agree that blue is a cold colour always.It...I don't agree that blue is a cold colour always.It very much depends on the shade of blue. Blue is my favourite colour and I think it reflects calm and imagination. Everybody loves a clear blue sky and because it indicates warmth. I have done very many blue paintings and really have to force myself to use other colours! I could paint endlessly in blue. I like your latest piece.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068141700005383278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-4805970847476660592007-02-10T16:11:00.000-08:002007-02-10T16:11:00.000-08:00WOW!!!!

But, I kind of felt that there might be some innate talent for color in me, so I dove in head first with pastels. I looked as hard as possible at Wolf Kahn's oil paintings, and tried to internalize them.<BR/>Then, for practice, I would analyze his color composition. Say he used orange, violet and green. I would take that triad, turn it one space on the color wheel, and do my own linear composition, using this color composition and produce something. Then, after a few years, the skill with pastels came along.<BR/>Anyway, that's my brief on how to do colors. Be intuitive. Try lots of things. Fail a lot. It is O.K.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-69411365167816047612007-02-10T10:13:00.000-08:002007-02-10T10:13:00.000-08:00Looks like it's glowing to me!

I buy it, make little colour swatches and then line up the tubes or pastels or pencils neatly in my cupboard and do far too little with them. <BR/>I read in Simon Schama's Power of Art that Van Gogh, in a manic spell - swallowed tubes of chrome yellow, cobalt and carmine and washed them down with turpentine before the nurses got to him. I can almost understand that.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.com
