The world of colors as many may see it.

A video about color, very interesting study.

Here we come Summer! ---(Now till - 05/06/11)

I'm sure everyone was too busy to even check up on this thing, but as some of you know it's been down for a couple of weeks..

But were ready to start this off again!!

I'm sure everyone will have more time this semester, unless your taking some crazy amount of classes!

So we left of the vote with this color scheme,

The challenge is to keep within these colors ,

White + Black can be added if necessary :D

The rules are written on the right side of this blog :D, to refresh your memory..

and to add on to that, an extra 5 days + the week before it's due..

have fun!!

This week Monochromatic Orange!

Be sure to explore the full range of orange. 

The warmer and cooler end of orange. 

DON'T! just paint a gray-scale and Saturate with color!

HAVE FUN!

Purple Split Complimentary!

I think extending the dateline was a bad idea, even I myself felt the pinch in time to do something during the week.

So I've brought the next one back to the usual Sunday Dateline, as well as made it simple too.
Monocromatic!! It's Real Easy~!

But the week afters going to hike back up, as we'll be exploring strips of color instead~!

thanks for this weeks contribution!

 So on this piece i used purple, yellow, and i forgot what else. i hope it is in the rules more or less. Finger painting on iphone is quite fun,and a good exercise. Normally i'm not a big fan of Purple except when i apply it too my cools, but in this case it was fun. I keep learning that the possibility of colors is forever expanding, and that each individual person wether artist or or normal everyday person carries his/her own colors in their soul, just like a musician or composer carries his own moods and feelings in music.

Desiree Ong Medium - Photoshop.

Bo had just Shared some beautiful and wonderful photo shop brushes.. so i decided to try them out with color junkies, took an old sketch and messed around with it.. i think it still needs more purple, but i tried my best to include orange and green as well :D, Hope you like it!

This was a figure workshop last semester. I used a color called steel blue, an orange with brush pen, and a just water brush pen. The main problem with this medium and technique is that once you lay down the water it is more about working with the mistake, however the two colors mix beautifully since one is warm and the other cool. It is nice how you can also get this sort of warm green if you mix the to colors properly. At the bottom i color picked the orange and blue in photoshop as a sample for the two values i used. Another nice thing is that the blue can go from intensely dark to intensely light once you dilute it with the water brush pen.

Thanks for the detail Information, I'm sure it will help alot of us!!

I did this for my Illustration 2 : Spot Illustration,

 (Medium Watercolor + Pen and Ink ) 

We mixed a bunch of tittles in a hat for the theme Monsters, I drew from the lot and  got Fish + Human ( Not mermaid ), I was happy i got such a theme because I had put in Sea monster for tittles to pick, found out later which classmate gave me the tittle, Thanks June! It was really dificult to stick a fin the a human body and call it done, but I ended up making it work and slapped the themed color on it instead :D

I got done early, so I did another sequential  one and finished at home.. I hope the bones filled in the in between of what actually happened XD, not quite themed color though. oh and i was really hungry by that time thus explaining the fishes hunger.

Remember to vote for Next Weeks Themed Color!

12/03/10 - Vote! (Complimentry colors)

Click on the side vote panel to vote.

there isn't anyone with a particular choice this week so.....
lets do! complimentary painting.. on the side of this blog on the right hand corner, there's a vote box

with the colors yellow green blue purple red and orange.

I flipped through the James Gurney book, and there's an endless possibilities on what we could explore, I was thiking of either monocromatic, which isn't really exploring or  some sought of complimentary painting  "second easiest" to limited palette, so your painting should lean to the choose color of the week with dabbles of the complimentary in it :D
James, idea of a complimentary/split complimentary talks about it in the form of creating gamut masking. (pages 124- 127) the idea is somewhat the same.


anything under the sun is open for submission. whether it's vector.. line drawing studies finishes old or new.
the more the merrier!
i was going to put a example here but i type on Google complimentary painting and they gave me a about.com link so here it is if anyone needs to refresh their memory ^^ About.com - Complimenty colors!!

Welcome!

Hey everyone!,

Welcome to color junkies, a place for all artist to explore the world of color!
I've been fascinated with color since I got sucked into it, but there wasn't anyway to see them collaboratively. So i thought why not do a weekly entry based on a color scheme set by vote, season,festival,etc.. or pure basic principles. I wasn't going to do it alone and wanted to share this experience with the rest of my friends and see how far we can stretch and push this wonderful medium called color. I'm also opening this up to anyone who feels like joining in the fun!

I really appreciate the feedback I've gotten and I'm excited to finally begin this journey with you guys.

SO..This is how it's going to work,
Alternating weeks A set of colors will be chosen, a dateline will be given.
The follow week would be left for discussion and the vote for the week after's Color theme!

You could use that scheme during that week to your advantage, use it in your weekly assignments, or during workshops.
ANY MEDIUM ,ANY STYLE ,ANY THEME! JUST FOLLOW THE themed COLORS!:D
Anything under the sun, still life, life studies, rocks, trees, vector, lines, shapes.abstract to realism.
it also need not be a fresh piece, it could be an old piece that you've done.

Drumroll to the the first set of colors to start of this adventure.
and i really though the first limited palette i was though to use would be the best choice.

Black ,Yellow Ochre ,Terra Rosa and White!


Dateline 6th of March, Sunday 201l!

I'm EXCITED!
