    I bought a small painting which used natural, modest colors. When I put in on my wall, it disappeared. Without 3 gallery spotlights, it had no presence.
    I also bought a beautiful graphite/colored pencil drawing; unfortunately the artist used grey-green paper, so I can only enjoy it nose to glass.
    This was a problem more of value than color, but buyers should ask the gallery to switch to normal domestic lighting (or whatever they plan to use) before deciding on the purchase.
    Artists might consider these issues as well.

    Totally right Mark, in my own paintings I have always been cautious with over saturated colour, I would prefer an under saturated painting as opposed to an over saturated one.

    I find that bright colors are at their best when they're used sparingly and contextualized by more neutralized ones.

    There's an exact analogy to high-end sound systems. Most people will initially prefer the systems with elevated highs and lows. But systems like that eventually become very fatiguing.

  • @cherylmillard2067

    The image on the right at 1:26 makes the subject pop while maintaining a somber mood, the third image is too bright.

    "Too much sugar" is easily one of the most common mistakes everyone makes as a beginner in these fields. It makes looking back on your old stuff a gruesome experience. Like, how could I ever think "yeah, this is good"

  • @notsurewhatisgoingon
    @notsurewhatisgoingon Місяць тому

    I love bright and bold color, but one thing I love about more muted, realistic tones is I spend more time looking at the painting as a whole. It's less stimulating and the eye can meander across the scene at a more relaxed pace since it all flows together.

  • @bethappleton6560
    @bethappleton6560 3 місяці тому +1

    I have always drawn and painted on the muted side, and have tried so hard to brighten things up even though my work looks very natural and everybody really likes it, so it's good to hear you say this, makes me feel like I'm doing something right!

    Photographers on social media are the most guilty of this. It makes me cringe when they post a photo of a sunset that has been manipulated with software and pass it off as "the sunset here where I live today." The image is so fantastically over saturated that it would obviously never occur in real life, yet the viewers tend to actually believe the person captured the image unedited.

    • @matthewwilliams3827
      @matthewwilliams3827 3 місяці тому +1

    I agree. Recently looked at David Hockney's work. A definite type of colour palette. I know of other artists that like that vibrant colour saturation. Meh. Its okay. Mood. What is your mood? A series of mood. Cheers.

    1:31 - the righthand is a better image, not because it is more colourful but there is significantly more separation between the subject and the background. I would pick tonal values from the one on the right to use.

    I've been painting for 30 years and use to love bright colours. Always washed my brushes and kept clean colours. Now I do the opposite, I never wash brushes and with the experience keep that murkyness in my work.

  • @matthewwilliams3827
    @matthewwilliams3827 3 місяці тому

    1:52 this though is an example of bright colours used well and looks pleasing to the eye, but not all oversaturated compositions look good. It can make everything just compete with each other and not stand out or just look tacky. To me it doesn’t matter if it’s monochromatic, dichromatic, or vivid colours everywhere, as long as it’s done right. Usually it’s not though haha.

  • @cindyoverall8139
    @cindyoverall8139 3 місяці тому +1

    That is why Andrew Wyeth had the guts to be stark and honest . You are so right which is why the Impressionists became famous… colorful and insipid.
    It’s usually just ignorance.
    Had Mr. Wyeth not been the son of N.C., he would never have been known.
    The Dutch Golden Age were the great painters of the somber and the classical.
    The Barbizon painters were moody which is why they are not in Janson.
    I wonder, as you do that for some human reason.. bright means happy.
    Ad nauseum!

    Aside from oil painting I’m also a tattoo artist and very often get clients that want super bright vivid colors. It doesn’t look good if all the colors are bright and competing for the eye’s attention. So I’ll have to explain to them the theory behind reserving it to just one bright color and more muted tones for it to have the effect that they want. They usually show me examples of what I’m talking about and they don’t even notice all the muted tones and why it works that way.

    Old master painters seems to use very neutral earthy moody tones and save the luminous bright colourful for skin tones, flowers, etc. people without common sense think that oversaturating everything in the scene is better.
