Painting the Town #2
This is episode number 2, another show Painting the Town! I was a little worried how things would go without John, but I've done 20 minute portraits before at shows and Nathan is a good friend plus we had the footage we shot at Tommy's Burgers so that made me feel better. Enjoy the show! by the way here is a shot of the portrait, it looks like Nathan a bit, maybe a little bit bent here and there! ahahah!

Hello Alex
I haven't quite understood the concept of the local color? Well ok I know, you explained it from the banana kind of view - äh I mean you explained from the color the banana has in neutral light.
But as i undstood ever full color has a gray-value some is bright (like yellow) some dark (like blue).
So what u wanted to say is, hat every color (letz say comming out of the tube) has a value on its own like u take a black and while-photo of that color.
But on the other hand you can mix the colors values down (more brownisch/darkish) or up (whitisch, yellowisch).
Sometime I like to se my painting in BlacknWhite :)
BTW like the TS of BOB ROSS were to get that one?
hmm. What I'm going to try to explain on the show is about creating the illusion of chiaroscuro with paint. The colors of my jacket, hand, and banana have a relationship in terms of the differences between them in color and value. Whether I look at those colors in white light, or red light or green light I can still feel in my mind the differences between these colors, their relationship. When I paint chiaroscuro, I create two sets of this relationship, one at a higher value and one at a lower value, put them next to each other and you have light and form! It's elementary and algebraic, but a very important concept to have an understanding of in your mind.
I got the Bob Ross t-shirt at Target a few years ago, but I haven't seen them for sale since. They might be for sale somewhere on the internet!
