🎨First ?!! Thank you Karim for another acrylic lesson. I never thought too much before about the less intense colors making contrast with the more intense colors. That makes perfect sense -- sort of like seeing something from the "corner of your eye" while being focused elsewhere ! You have lots of birds in your paintings -- kind of your trademark. Is the bird the focal point or are there multiple focal points ?? Thank you for the video. It's a pretty painting !!!

Thank you!! It’s part of the focal point, Lol. I put birds because I want to give the painting some life.

Thanks, Karim. To help see tonal values, set a phone camera to de-saturated colours, or just mono. Probably no need to actually take a picture...
