Done two classes about digital color and painting so far, some students got mindblown. I´m happy for it they are learning.

I always try to explain the science behind it, how to apply in an art piece and the reason behind it. I am a firm believer that if you teach the how and the why, people can apply the theories by themself. And you can only break the rules if you know what they are.

Honestly I´m somewhat frustrated with some teachers I had in the past that just tell you how to do it, but not the reasoning. Making it a very narrowminded way to do things. Each person has different ways of thinking and applying theories. It´s like some martial arts, where there some move that they are regularly practiced but they forgot the in which scenario to apply the movent, the reason of the technic but it´s still passed over generation.

Fun fact, we receive more chroma intensity with red and green. It´s theorized that it evolved like this because it makes it easier to detect red fruits and berries between the green plants. And also to detect Some prey and predators, (like deers with brown (red hue) pelt or tigers orange in a green environment)

Why tigers are fudging red in the green jungle? Funny enough most annimals doesn´t have red receptors and it´s hard to detect a tiger in the jungle because they have the same value with the background. We humans have one of the best optical receptors in the animal kingdom.

ok byeee
