2021 colour study demo and talk, eighth session

outdoor colour study demonstration with remarks throughout as well as half hour talk about the hensche approach to colour study at the 12th ending session, runs through full process of the approach in real time, colour masses, major colour variations, minor colour variations, all composed through structural planes, with continuous emphasis upon relational colour and the light key,
i try to explain the statement there are no values during the several vids, the short version is this, value scales are a model, models are a conceptual representation and not what is found in reality, attachment to models as if they are real is a perceptual bias which blinds people to the simple truth in front of their own eyes, the values system in painting was invented when there were few pigments available, and also when nothing was known about the characteristics/physics of light, a simple illustration is this- doing a charcoal drawing, what does one see when they look at the subject? they see colours and then attempt to calculate what level of grey that colour is, but even after the grey is lain upon the paper it has the appearance of colouration because the light reflecting from the supposed greys are coloured wavelengths in a specific combination, things are not lighter and deeper based upon a false values scale, they are what they are based upon the wavelength content reflected to the eye, one comes to understand this while painting with a full spectral range palette of colours and most easily seen outdoors, but it applies in all places at all times, values is the easy out because one never has to be completely specific in colouration, the local colour run through grey scale is usually sufficient as those ideas are applied, that has little to do with actual relational colouration where both in large notes as well as the modelling of forms it requires one to see a different colour every quarter inch, not a value difference but an actual change in hue, there are 3 brief axioms that hold true to what is actually before the eye whether it is seen by an individual or not, they are, nature does not repeat colours, no colour is a simple value change of its neighbor, and the transitional note between two colours is not an admixture of those two adjacent notes but a colour unlike either of those two, and it becomes more complex from there, as hensche said if people want to paint with antique/obsolete ideas (or wish to follow someone else's stylistic features) they are welcome to do so, but if they want to develop their own vision and their own perception and express that vision through their own ideas and abilities then they will have to follow a different agenda, in all of these materials on this channel i simply try to point out how what hensche taught is different from what others have taught or teach today, and as he said you cannot know what those differences actually are until you test it for yourself through study as he prescribed, it is a perceptual problem not a verbal problem,
