This is such a fun application of a principle you learn in psychology when you study cognition of perception. The brain has to kind of calculate averages and strike balances with sensory input, all unconsciously, so the information stream stays constant and is useful; and things that are different enough to need attention and action for survival pop out. You know how you can be sitting peacefully in a darkening room at sunset, and the red chair mentally stays "red" long after it's not red any more. This color training teaches you first just to recognize what your brain is doing, for your benefit really, and then how to override it for art's sake. This video is so clear and good: I wish I had it when I was still teaching these things to give my students. But now I'm retired, I play with my colored pencils instead. ✨🤗✨

It takes time to develop the observational skills to draw what you see and you’ve definitely proven that! Excellent work! It’s also another skill to be able to divert and unmarry yourself from the reference image and do something new or different with the details. I prefer the latter for my own art but I still appreciate what you do!

This is an interesting question. The stock of visual stimuli over a lifetime as laid down in memory is what you have available to literally assemble you innovative images from. So it's all "real" in the broadest sense. I think I'd have to say the greater your awareness of the visually "real" (humanly real, but that's a whole other universe of discussion😄) the richer your potential for diversion. Not a paradox! You can't draw what you can't imagine, and you can only assemble imagined images from bits of experience in memory. Honest. Gemma is a sterling example of the rigor that can give you the greatest freedom. To know you have both paths open to you is to be rich indeed.✨

I admire your skills. I have been using colored pencils more, yet I do watercolor light washes for base colors and it seems to make my illustrations less time-consuming. Any comments regarding this method?
