I like how with the old man painting, even though the colors look pretty random, they not only give off an emotional element to the painting, they give him an aura. I think the clash of colors there give a sense that this man is disgruntled, a mess of emotions and thoughts, and I even think it suggests sensory effects too. I can almost smell the image because of the different conflicting colors. Sweaty skin on an uncomfortably hot day, the polystyrene of his jacket, the damp, rank alleyway, sun beating down on dirty pavement. Fascinating that something so random can give you a supernatural sense of the character and overall image.

Why wearing red glasses make your vision green
@Kleph.4 жыл бұрын
@@hanhoang7883 Because the glasses are absorbing green light, their brain was searching extra hard for green. Human vision is not like photography, and our brains make lots of informed guesses about what we see. Once the glasses were off, their brain had to re-adjust to the return of green light. This is somewhat analogous to how our pupils dilate (i.e, open and let in more light) when in the dark. We've adjusted to see more clearly in a low-light context, but when coming back to a well-lit context, the light can be overwhelming because your pupils are letting in much more than normal. Hope this helps!

You know, I always have a lot of anxiety when watching most art tutorial videos, I find it difficult to control my feelings/sensitivity, I have the terrible habit of putting myself down when I see good art from others and whenever other great artists say things like "doing this is wrong" or "stop doing that, it's not good" I feel devastated, sometimes to the point my whole day is ruined because my mind just keeps echoing that feeling, and that ends up eating away my motivation for art. But the way you express yourself through words is so much warmer, gentle in a way, that it doesn't cause me any anxiety at all, and instead it encourages me to keep going! I'm glad you're my favorite artist, because then I can listen more to your videos and try to keep away from the ones that cause me harm until I learn how to deal with my emotions.

You can use colour modes in your OS too - I don't know any others, but on Windows you can press ctrl + Windows + C and it activates that mode. It can invert your colours, or in this case, you can set it to black and white. You don't have to touch anything other than that one keybind this way, and it sets things like the colour window to black and white too, which means you don't get to see what colour you're using unless you know what the colour wheel looks like by instinct. As it's an OS feature too, it makes no difference to your colour picking.
