Untitled, 1982, by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988)

Jean-Michel Basquiat

Born in 1960, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s artistic career began in graffiti, as he was one half of the duo of SAMO (Same Old). It was a phrase they often tagged in New York City during their youth and once he was recognised as being part, it gave him a steady foundation in the avant-garde art scene. The paintings that Basquiat would create later became the most ideal in the Neo-Expressionist movement. His works referenced history, his heritage and identity, race and cultural significance, and social commentary. Born to Haitian and Puerto Rican parents, his heritage was an essential part of his identity and artwork.

In the TED-Ed video ‘The chaotic brilliance of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat,’ Jordana Moore Saggese wonderfully and accurately describes Basquiat’s work as “calculated improvisation.” From his use of symbols to his use of media and processes, Basquiat sought to amalgamate his experiences onto canvas. They are chaotic, coloured, and cluttered - both visually and in deeper meaning.

The common motifs of his work include aspects of anatomy, particularly that of skulls, and crowns which referenced his obsession with bodies and marginalized people of history.

His rise to fame was incredibly swift, yet he did not get to enjoy it for long. Tragically he died from an overdose at the age of 27. His works are now worth millions and, while they retain the criticism associated with Neo-Expressionism, his legacy is undeniable. His influence is still felt today and continues to be loved by many.

and i thought only bob ross knew what was up

[poppypicklesticks-blog]

this single post is more useful to me then four years of art school 

[lulukbraz]

We did it in color study class on my college and it’s incredible the difference between using red/blue/yellow than cyan/magenta/yellow. The purple was colored like shit, so as the greens. Than we tried the actuall primary colors and it FELT SO GOOD!

[zachdanielswhisky]

I JUST TESTED IT IN MY ART PROGRAM AND HOLY SHIT 

IT WORKED REALLY WELL

[idoko]

On the left we have dissapoinment; on the right, love.

[emeraldmercury]

Then why do they teach us that RBY are primary colours in Pre-KG????

[kamiyu910]

To mess with our heads….

Or because they think that cyan and magenta are too difficult for kids to learn? Lame either way

[skrappy-deactivated20221123]

Reshare to save lives

[jheselbraum]

Okay, no. No no no no no no no no NO.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y  T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN. 

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style. 

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Good day.

[jheselbraum]

Also thatswhiskytoyou’s color mixing is bullshit because THIS:

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix  them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

I see, I see.

[jheselbraum]

OH AND ONE MORE THING.

They didn’t teach you about red blue green and cmyk in pre-k because when most of us were in pre-k digital art was still in its early stages and what fucking seven year old knows how to use a printer.

[jheselbraum]

GUESS WHO’S NOT FUCKING DONE YET:

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

Do you prefer to binge read series or read them as each book releases?⁣ ⁣ I love when I can binge read a series! It tends to be so immersive and fun – plus I never have to worry about forgetting what happened in the previous book(s). 😂⁣ ⁣ I binged the audiobooks of the first three Shatter Me books a few years ago and then listened to Restore Me and Defy Me right after they released. I almost DNF’d Shatter Me because the writing style just wasn’t for me, but I decided to try the audiobook first and that helped tremendously! I still have to listen to Imagine Me but I have it on hold from the library! I’m going to listen to it this month.⁣ ⁣ C H A L L E N G E S //⁣ #tumblesoverbooks / almost dnf⁣ #wildadventuresjuly20 / tough love⁣ ⁣ #booknerd #bookishlife #bibliophile #bookaholic #bookhoarder #bookworm #bookstack #igreads #bibliophilelife #bookishpost #booksofinsta #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklove #mybookfeatures #bookcommunity #bookobsessed #bookaddict #bookphoto #bookish #bookaesthetic #bookwormlife #booksbooksbooks #myfavoritethings #seeingthepretty #shatterme https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZQ4btA9eq/?igshid=1xdloe4tymgsb

Hello! Just a random lil artist who was wondering what drawing program you use. Btw I love the feel of your art, the sketchy lines and painting style is amazing. Hope you have a great day!

Hello my dear.

I use Sai Paint tool version 2. (Which I found out existed only a year ago!! It’s amazing.) And if you want I’ll list my brushes when I get the time!

Here’s my fav pen

hi!! im new to your blog so idk if youve said anything about this before, but do you have any tips for coloring? i really love how u use soft but vibrant colors and just the kinda painting esque style. anyways, i hope u have a good day/night!

Thank you! I can give you some tips that I use for myself, BUT I don’t really know much about color theory, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt! Most of the things I learned were from trial and error, so there’s probably a lot that I’m still doing wrong. (If anyone has any corrections I’d love to hear them)

Anyway, when I’m doing paintings nowadays, my favorite tool to use is the airbrush, because I like to paint by layering colors on top of each other, and it’s easy to control the opacity with the airbrush. Because of this, most of my art is slightly transparent, and it kinda limits how much i can change the background after I finish.

Right now i really like using teal as my highlighting color, and I think it looks really good next to a warm color.

Here’s my basic method for doing paintings:

I stray from this sometimes, but yeah. I find that putting a base color over my sketch is a really easy way to make my colors look nice together! the colors I choose to shade and highlight with are also usually derived from this base color.

When painting, I generally try to think in terms of actual color, color affected by light, and color affected by shadow. The light and the shadow are going to alter the actual color of whatever I’m painting, and I try to figure out what that altered color looks like and paint with that instead of painting with the light/shadow itself.

Here’s what I mean by that. Below, you can see that I used to just add yellow to my drawing because that’s what I thought the color of the light was.

If you haven’t noticed I just draw on a single layer. I also don’t really use multiply layers or anything like that because I feel like if I rely too much on them my painting skills get kinda bad. I used to color by using a screen layer with yellow and a multiply layer with a purple/blue, but I stopped because I realized it makes my colors look kinda bland and drowned out.

Also, as a general rule, I think that highlights should be brighter than shadows. This is because unless there is some reflected light within that shadow, it’s just usually going to be greyer.

Ok, that’s really all I have to say. I think if I actually understood color theory I could actually give you some more concrete advice, but I don’t! :P This is just my thought process when painting. Hope it helped, lmao

[lazysmirk]

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

[dragonofdarknesschaos]

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

[niyarest]

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

[tf2humbug]

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.
