We all seem to just glance off colors and don't really SEE all the colors. That's what I've learned from you. Thanks for sharing all of talent and knowledge.
You're welcome. My mother was always telling me to pay attention. I was, just not to what she thought was important. I guess now all that color gazing is finally paying off :)
The postcard series is really challenging me to stop looking at images with my inherent biases and analyze color. I am lucky enough to have two talented, trained artists as friends. My kind friends encourage me to see color and form, deepen contrasts, pop highlights, and experiment with more creative color choices. While I understand what they are trying to tell me, figuring out how to apply their advice to my coloring has been a struggle. In the process I've made every card making colorist mistake. Thanks to you, I am learning to speak their language as well as the practical skills I need to improve my coloring!
How cool! I think sometimes it just helps to have a marker or paintbrush in your hand and only then rerun the advice in your head. I'm sure your artist friends were giving you good advice but if they were giving it to you in a coffee shop or at a baseball game, it's not helpful because you can't see in your head what they mean and that means you can't process it. In the future, save their great advice in a note on your phone and re-read it later in at your coloring desk.
@@AmyShulkeMy friends and I all live in different states so critiques are done by email or text. What a great idea to save their notes on my phone to review with my work in front of me! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I think the next video will be more about coloring than color... but I won't know until I'm looking at the coloring footage and thinking of what to say. Be sure to let me know what you think.
This is fabulous! I’m learning to understand how colors play with each other from these mini series you’re doing. It’s the learning about the why of applying color in a certain way as well as how.
I'm so happy to read this! If "how" lessons worked for coloring, everyone would be branching off and doing original and innovative things instead of blending the same old blends. "Why" gives you the tools to make something unique.
Your video deserves SO many more views than this! Incredible detailed instruction, and to the point without fluff too! You have yourself a new student! ❤🎨
Thank you so much and I appreciate the subscription! I let my channel go dormant for several years while I focused on classes and courses. So now, I'm kinda climbing out of the hole where CZcams sticks people who take breaks. Glad you found me!
I’ve just picked up art again, I fell in love with markers and adding color pencil. Loved watching your video, and your encouragement of making your own unique colors ❤

Wonderful! Marker and pencil is sooooo rewarding, I hope you'll love it as much as me. Wishing you great success!
Another great video Amy! This makes me want caramels.... 🙂
Darn it, Lisa! If you order turtles, you must come share!
