Testing Colors
This is how I begin many paintings in my sketchbook, playing with colors and materials. I love when paints merge and you get to see unexpected outcomes. These are the high flow acrylic paints that you watched me unpack in the last post. I then went in and blended colored pencil and some white fun! Another tip is to stop along the way and take a photo, play with the filters on your phone. There's always black and white to show you values and where a painting might need work but sometimes those other filters will give you ideas for punching up colors, going darker or creating variety.
I used YouCut for this video. I didn't like it quite as much as InShot but it is nice that there is no watermark even in the free version and it was simple; however, I didn't like the clipping feature. It was very hard to tell where I was and ended up losing more than I had hoped. Oh well, you get the idea :)
