Dear all, Honestly, I have done more than a few paintings to get myself familiar with color in this month. I know Teacher Bucci mentioned that having fun with color is more important after understanding the process of painting, e.g flat color + shadow and light, etc. But sometimes I am just confused with why a certain color on certain place = looks good. I also want to know more about brushwork, coz honestly, I am the guy who only uses 1 rectangle brush and a soft airbrush for blending... and sometimes, I am a bit embarrassed with the outcome... I posted some of my latest paintings, as I looked into some watercolor works by Lucy Willis, Thomas W schaller, John Singer Sargent, Feng Lan, and even from Ghibli Studio. Please see my submission.. I tried to make them quick, but each of them at least took me 4- 6 hours I guess... The references are in the comment section

Hello there, i tried paiting some monocrhomatic balls

I’ve learned so much from this course. Vague ideas of light and colour from over the years have all come together in my understanding. This course hasn’t just taught me about digital painting, but art itself. The first page is my practice during thecourse. The second page is colour studies for the assignment.

Here are my attempts. With the green sphere I tried to imagine a warm light and a cool light but keeping the same palette. For the warm lit one I figured a green sphere would be more grey and the cool lit one would be more saturated green - I hope that’s the right thinking.

Here are my take on the assignment. I don't know what you think, but to me, it feels like the complementary and split complementary might be too saturated.

The lesson really helped me a lot understanding color and light. I chose a painting by Jan Matejko, I really the vibrance of the warm colors. I struggled with the double split completary, I was getting lost with so much choice in colors. I might come back to it once I have a better grasp on the fundamentals.

Double split complimentary

Split complimentary

This lesson was phenomenal. It took my understanding of color to a whole new level and made the subject much less intimidating. Complimentary color palette practice below:

Hello ! This was a fun but challenging assignement, I choose Anato Finnstark to study because of their incredibale control over color by useing these "basic" color combination! It was hard for me to stick with the concept of light being warm and shadows being cold (which in this case of split and double split study is more like cold light and warm shadows) I broke that "rule" many times for favor of how it felt at the time. PS: I've been watching your videos on youtube since 2016 learning from you and you've been a big inspiration for me ! Thank you for that and i'm glad you are a part of this course !

Double Split complementary: The reference is from one of my favourite video games: Destiny 2. I love the art. It was fun to draw this from beginning to end. Maybe I shouldn‘t have taken a painting with so many details as reference because I saw myself switching between what I was supposed to do regarding the assignment and just copying the painting. The details only made me look at the reference and I had to remind myself to pick the colors myself and to deduct them from my palet and from the lighting. Anyway, I feel like I made a big step forward: here is a video of how I painted it: https://x.com/kassjans/status/1840100762048774567?s=46&t=4F3U_v-Q_DW4k4fz9Pqmtg

(1) Another warmup(monochromatic ball) (2) Complementary palette (3) Split complementary palette (4) Double split complementary palette (5) The reference I used was N.C. Wyeth's work, "Leaping from Rock to Rock in Sheer Delight" The Orangish yellow ball(1) looks tasty for some reason. I don't like how (2) and (3) turned out. Maybe my choice of colors wasn't good, I failed to handle texture brushes, or I focused on details too much and lost the balance of colors/light and shadow. I'll do those challenges again. The series was fun, and I feel what I learned in this course has already, and will improve my color skills significantly. Thank you, Marco! Previous post: https://www.proko.com/s/T4jP

Here's part 2 of the assignment.

For part 1 of the assignment I did the following (in upload order): 1. Red monochromatic sphere, I followed along with the monochromatic lesson step-by-step. 2. Green monochromatic sphere, I had the lesson playing in the background which I refered to if I wasn't sure what to do next. 3. Teal monochromatic sphere, I did this one from memory. For part 2 I used a painting of She-Hulk by Jeehyung Lee (https://www.artstation.com/jeehyunglee): 4. The reference art (has the Marvel / She-Hulk logo). 5. My line drawing. 6. Complementary Palette, using red and blue. 7. Split Complementary Palette, using orange for warm, blue and purple for the cool. 8. Double Split Complementary Palette, using green and orange for warm, purple and blue for cool. Note: I ignored the rim light that was in the reference. Thanks for the lessons Marco!

Hello! I've attached part 1 of the assignment. Part 2 is to come! When is the deadline exactly? I didn't see a due date.
