Painting Color Temperatures - Condensed warm & cool colors
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Another really great hint that I'm going to give you and something you always want to
keep in mind is try to avoid using black at all costs. In fact, I don't even own any black
paint. I did once, and I threw it away, because I wanted to make sure I didn't use it. Because
black can really destroy a painting. It can really muddy up your colors when you mix it
with warm and cool colors. You want it, if you need a dark color, just go for a really
condensed, really the darkest warm or cool color you have. If you've got a red that is
a really dark condensed red, try and use that, or mix it with some of the darkest blue that
you have, or use the darkest blue for the black instead of black. Like usually, you're
only going to need it with shading, because colors on things aren't usually that dark
so if you need a black, a dark color, try and use either your darkest condensed red
or your darkest condensed blue, or mixing them if you really need a black.
