i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors

[gayvampyr]

“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit

[gayvampyr]

ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like

with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing

is it too much to ask

gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that

cohesive but still contrasting

This kind of talks about color and composition

This is a bit about landscape specifically

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones

Cohesion within compositions/lighting

"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!

This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!

Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process

With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)

If you'd like 2 Print books that I absolutely reccomend to every visual artist regardless of Media, Color and Light and Imaginative Realism by James Gurney are basically religious texts for artists, even the 3-D people because his understanding and explanation of how light and form work is that damn good.

If you're wondering about Mr. Gurney's chops:

James Gurney is the Dinotopia Guy (that link includes his Dinotopia books, prints and online classes too)

FRIENDS!! Funguary is officially happening, the drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of feb! Here is what I’ve conjured up:

Each week will have a theme, draw something mushroom related within that theme in order to join. You don’t have to follow the prompt list, you can pick any shroom you’d like!

This is a pretty laid back event where the goal is to just have fun and vibe, and honor the fungi kingdom with some really cool art!! You could make one drawing per theme, or even just join for one or two themes. Happy to have ya either way!

If you’re hardcore you can definitely try and finish all the prompts though ;) I know I will. The challenge intensity is adjustable to what suits you

themes are Spooky, Colorful, Poisonous and cute/pretty (in that order)

I invite you all to come draw mushrooms with me! Use the hashtag #Funguary when posting your creations.

Look at this box of bois. It may be a bit empty for now but by the time I’m done I’ll have several boxes full of bois.

Do you need a boi in your life in the form of a head or as a keychain? Come to NärCon In Sweden this summer and find the frog table! We’ll be selling frog merchandise exclusively in all kinds of forms featuring some worm on a string merch

(Also wow my camera is so bad)
