This lesson is a continuation of chapter 1 where we learn how color moves by reducing your palette to two simple complementary colors.

This was crazy to follow, I have no knowledge of colours besides a bit of "this one goes well with this one". Marco flits between brushes and keeps painting as they are talking and I was like Eh what He did something there AHHH what's going on?!?!
Eventually and repeatedly I learnt about the neutrality of the colours and values of the colours and how important that can be. (Still not 100% making sense of it) and Complementary colours.
I think it will be more helpful now to see where the value of colours I pick are and also work from a much more Neutral environment instead of diving into "THIS one will be Yellow (Completely saturated) or this one will be Purple (Completely Saturated)"
I will need some time to process it all. Goodness me. Fun, but very much all over the place this was. Brain = melted.

Had a go in oils. Goes without saying that mixing colours was difficult and I missed having "undo". I think using greys broadly worked though.

Oh wow, It's incredibly easy to lose the values. The stairs look off, but I managed colors better than I hoped for

I made a thumbnail based on the video work and then decided to try with some different colors on a photo of a mountain. It was as struggle at first, but then I really started seeing what you meant by "moving" colors

Followed along. I definitely preferred the version with the less saturated purples.

Hi lovely people! :) I norMally don't paint and I avoid colors - so this was out of my comfort zone! Please, if anyvody feels like givibg some feedback, I'd be really grateful.
PS. I did't use the original drawing because I figured out too late how to dowaload material from the course... so I made my own.
Many things aren't finished - materials aren't cler, I'm unsure about values, etc. Please go ahead and tell me EVERYTHING!!! THANK YOU <3

Gave it my first go with red and cyan, since I've painted a lot like this before, but I've never been the best with colour or environments. I tend to give up long before they're really cleaned up or fully finished, but I am happy enough with this! I like the ominous feel.

Loved doing this. I also love how everyones painting is unique yet with the same principles!

Definitely have a lot to work on, especially in terms of value/difference between shadow and light. Looking forward to learning more

Here's my attempt! I think the exercise was very interesting! I would have liked to play a bit more with the saturation since I think I played it rather safe. I also normally never use textured brushes or transparency so this was a bit tricky to figure out. If anyone has any feedback I'll gladly listen!

I learned so much from this lesson! This was so much fun. I tried to paint a different light source and different colours to apply the lesson rather than copy the result. Was this successful? Is the light source correct? Do the colours retain harmony? Any and all feedback appreciated.

I think the colours still retain harmony, but maybe they could be pushed a tad further, using the hard light method he described!

Here was my attempt at the chapter 1 lesson. I think in terms of color I could've done a better job in setting the background apart from the foreground. I tried saturating the yellows more than the purples like in the video but I feel like there's something missing in terms of color. It may be that I didn't use that saturation economy well like Marc discusses, not too sure at the moment so I'll have to think it over.

I never thought to start out with neutrals like this, so this has been an eye opener for me!
