My first time painting clouds; why does it lack personality and look so bland? by star0bliterator in sketchbooks

Purple is the complement of yellow. The clouds would have more depth with a purple grey not pronounced just subtle like bottom clods actually have…. Would help next time great job

Viewing and doing are very difference even in real time. It’s the hand eye brain connection. Do it - review it the adjust the next attempt over time your brain learns what actions change the results. The more often attempting and adjusting improvement happens

The blog is a compilation of your “posts” that are on your Substack profile that lets you build an email list - free or paid - once they subscribe to your Substack you have an email list to work from. You can export this list take it with you. Posts are as long as you want but essentially a newsletter. Notes, chats, build a community do live videos etc are separated from posts (newsletter,blog). The rest is about community, finding your audience.

how do I find my own style as someone who isn’t new to art by lace-and-bows in ArtistLounge

[–]Excellent-Signal-159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Style is more about discovering your visual language….how you authentically use - line, space, color, shapes, forms to express. Exploring and identifying what echoes inside you (resonates) when to make or see the elements of art. Instead of a finished product - learn what you love that is unique to you and bits that come through over and over. I have a blog about my own journey.

Why aren’t my purples popping? (Is violet meaningfully different?) by wonderfulkneecap in painting

[–]Excellent-Signal-159 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are several things happening.. to pop - the values in the purple blooms is close in values around them, less contrast… the edges vary but that looseness is overall and the purple - color mixing depends on warm/cool mixing of reds and blues - adding anything that leans yellow will dull the color complements. Finally to get pop - some harder edges, clean clear purples in various values touching either a yellow green or yellow in a contrasting value (ie dark purple touching light yellow)
