Color Matching with Oil Paint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Color matching isn’t just difficult, it’s almost impossible sometimes, because color is always changing! Here I demonstrate a quick color match of vintage blue street tile using oil paint and a palette knife on Arches oil paper. This blue color is part of my “Colors of Ballard” print and printed tote bag. This is the process I went through to examine and approximate colors around the neighborhood. Doing this observation brought up many questions about why and how to match color for paintings.

I never thought about how color is not set. This really opened my eyes to seeing the shifting nature of color, based upon light, shadow, and whether something is clean or dirty. Super interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing!!
@@lifeslices2228 thank you for watching and commenting ! ♥️ sometimes thinking about this constant shifting can be unnerving. I think that's why there are so many color theories. People trying to control the uncontrollable. 🌈
Very interesting! Everything is in motion even color 😮
Great video! Thanks for sharing
COLOR-MATCHING SUPERHERO to the rescue! I love it, Anne. Your dedication to your art practice is lovely, and you did get SO close in that last color. Cheers to art making wherever it happens!
@@JackieWolven Takin' it to the street! Or at least the sidewalk!
I found this information about colour mixing really helpful, thank 👍
I also love what us artists get up to in the name of our art 😅 I love the thought of how much time you put in bending over this patch of street & polishing the tiles. Super dedication to the craft! ❤ Also reminded me of the time I stood in the street sawing off parts of chairs that had been left smashed up & abandoned. They eventually made great handles for a project I was doing, but I must have looked funny 😂 Yay, to getting out there & creating from the world around us!!
@@Earth_journey_yoga yes!! We humans just get so stuck in ruts . And then you see some body sitting on the sidewalk mixing paint And talking to... her phone? Herself? or sawing up chairs in the street.
I guess those odd-seeming behaviors themselves are kind of like performance art, breaking up the stagnation of socially constructed expectations. Thanks for pointing that out, the behind the scenes bit! I need two cameras, one to film what I'm doing, and one to film myself doing it! Completely different video! 😉
Great video. I like how you talked about how colours are always in motion and showed an example.
Thank you, Eric!
How lovely to see your whole process and the thoughts that led you to the corner of 20th Ave. & 59th St! It was nice to meet you and chat a bit!
@@jeridoney7604 it was wonderful to meet you too, Jeri! Thank you for chatting with me♥️
This is so interesting and fun to see. I like the way you think. Color matching feels stressful to me when I’m creating my own art, I just do what feels good. However this video felt very informative and was interesting to watch. My favorite phrase in almost every thing I do is “good enough” keeps me sane😂
I saw street tiles like this on my NOLA visit and it’s so cool to see PNW has an area like that too. I thought those tile street signs were so beautiful.
@@Lifeinthewyldewest loving that good enough Energy! As a reforming perfectionist one of my mantra is definitely good enough is good enough! Thank you so much for watching!
I found you via Jackie Wolven's channel, and I am glad I did. I am not a painter but a lover of art, and I found this fascinating to learn how you create. ❤
so glad that we are on each other's path now!♥️
@@annelivingstonart me, too!
On the video the original blue tile looks like a teal colour to me. I just looked up about Ballard and the street name mosaics were created by the artist Benson Shaw. Could you just ask the artist what colour he used to save you all the work? 😂 I am tempted to go around my neighbourhood looking for colours that represent it but I don't think my findings will be as meticulous as yours. 😊
oh my gosh that's right, I forgot that an artist actually re-created some of these street tiles! I should track him down!
I would love to see the colors of your neighborhood!
