I look at some of the paintings by the Fauves: Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck and I marvel at the creativity they exhibit as they replace natural colors with unconventional ones. I stare and stare trying to figure out if there is some sort of system that they are following as they make their choices. There doesn't seem to be a consistent one. Someone suggested that one color can take the place of another so long as it is the same value and temperature as the original. That makes sense. But the Fauves didn't always follow that system. The color choices seem arbitrary. But if they ARE truly arbitrary and chosen at random,the paintings wouldn't have the feeling that the colors have been composed. All those colors SEEM right !! Their inventiveness just floors me !!
There was no system. The artist chose the colors based on what they thought worked. You are correct...the colors seem right. That's exactly what they were going for. Thank you for you excellent comment. I really appreciate hearing from you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I work really hard on the graphics, so it means a lot to me to hear from another graphic artist. To me, creating all these graphics is a major reason for doing the video.
Fantastic
Thanks for sharing

Creativity: An elusive spirit. Hard to put into words. Great job doing it anyway. Cheers.

Thanks. I always like hearing comments like this. Thanks for watching.
I love the composition of this video. Old-timey yet quite contemporary. As a former graphics artist ( for newspapers ) I endorse this style! Cheers.
