Overcoming the challenge of muddy colors in artwork begins with a solid understanding of warm and cool contrasts. Initially, my work suffered from a lack of vibrant colors, often appearing gray and mushy. However, as I progressed in my career, mastering the concept of temperature contrasts in colors became a game changer.
This video shares insights into my journey with color theory, specifically the use of warm and cool tones to enhance contrast and prevent artwork from looking flat. You'll see examples of both successes and failures that have shaped my approach to creating more dynamic and interesting illustrations.
We'll delve into practical strategies for avoiding low contrast, muddy images, and explore how shifting the temperature of colors can dramatically affect the perception of depth and focus in a scene. This session is designed as a casual, informative drawing lesson where we explore these concepts in depth, aiming to enrich your understanding and application of color in your own art. Join me as we unpack the complexities of color theory and its pivotal role in crafting visually compelling art.
