In this demo you will start to understand how every hue has value. Just like the grayscale value study in the previous lesson it's important to place the correct value in the right places in order to achieve a three dimensional form. Another key point in the lesson is to focus on value relationships and not become fixated on color matching!!!
Color matching is a trap! You will always come up short if you try to match every color you see in nature.
A better alternative with a much higher success rate is to simply think in terms of value. Place the right hue that has the correct value in the right places. If you can achieve this you are well on your way to making art much easier.
I will also demonstrate how color choices are toned down and high chroma hues are avoided in early stages. This was something we touched on earlier in the chroma lesson.
As I mix hues notice how I use analogous colors to tint certain hues. You will see this in the very beginning as I mix the base red at the 2:53 mark. Later on I will use titanium white as well to tint hues but just know you can use both options as a way of tinting a hue.
Note: at the 4:00 mark I shared a tip about mixing color. The idea is when you have a base mixture down such as I had with the reds and you wish to tint, or shade it, be sure to add the new hue to the edge of the color so that it doesn't invade the entire mix.
