Pinstriping Color Theory Deep Dive Part 1: Value 

Tip of the iceberg. I have been contemplating this series for over a year.

Thanks. I doubt it will get it. I feel like those of us that like this stuff are a small community.

@@JackFlemingArtistry Yeah, you might be right but if everyone could do what we can do, we'd be out of business, right? I still stand by my last comment, this video is pure gold and I look forward to the next. Have fun mate.

thanks for watching

Thank you. There is good infinite there on it applied to oinstriping, but it isn't super easy to find. Trying to make that easier.

@@JackFlemingArtistry And doing a fine job along the way…

The first time I heard somebody mention it, it immediately made sense to me.

Glad to help. Many more videos in this series to come.

It is a fun topic and one that I know everybody experiments with figuring out through trial and error. Color has been my favorite aspect of art, both in teaching and in making art. It has endless possibilities. Working on editing part 2.

You are welcome

thank you. Trying our best to grow the craft.

Thanks

Thanks

Seriously though you must be a super brilliant piercing artist with great powers of observation

​@@tattoocollective2599 OMG I am. Get off the tablet and get to work.

I am trying to keep it so that the principals can apply to many trades in art.

Some will say there are rules, others will say there are not. I like to think of them not as rules, but tools for good design. This series will focus on color (one of the elements of art). I do have plans to make other videos applying the other elements of art and principles of design to pinstriping. A lot will probably be focused on experimenting.

On a light background, I prefer to start light and move darker with each layer. I do plan to get to that with this series, plus have experiments with some more complicated problems. I really want to dive deeper than value contrast and explore some of the problems we faced in color design classes, like how to keep a design a close value to the background but have contrast through temperature or intensity.

I am not trying to say that there is a specific way to do things, just trying to explain how it works.
