[alexandrasanches]

I am REALLY REAL REALLY grateful for this educative art moment.... I’ve just woken up to a such enormously deep color reality.... THANKYOU to you all.... Big Hug....

This is actually my fave combo LOL. I get so many compliments when I wear my royal blue shirt and my bright red-orange lipstick. They make each other pop

[monikaazariah]

Oooh ...I'm going to make art with these two colours...you explained it so well

The painting at 38:00 by Hope Gangloff makes me sad, I don’t think I would normally fell that way if it wasn’t for the blue and orange combination. I think the fact that the colors reflect a midday mood bring back a flood of memories. I can’t stop seeing blue and orange everywhere

Hi Im from Germany sorry for my englisch i Love your Channel so much big thank yous for your streams i learnd so so much from you big thank you

[ave_rie]

Probably a silly idea, but Do you recommend training your eye to understand value at the early mornings/dawn when the colors in the environment are not “stealing the show”? Would it be like a live version of editing a photo to make it black and white/greyscale? Thanks!

[MyCardArt]

Hello everyone on your awesome team. I am here as your loyal friend my dear and wishing you well. Happy New Year :)

[sakinaibrahim]

How do I submit a portfolio for review?

[lauresl]

I am searching for a short video discussing colors interacting like people featuring red blue & yellow claymation figures. Did I imagine this?
