This was such an amazing interview. Our conversation flowed like the watercolor paints, masterfully mixed by this artist/creative/community leader, Juliene Sinclair. In this episode Juliene shares how…
I mean, complementary colors are, are definitely a thing that I've focused on a lot, and I've, I love matching and mixing and blending and like the just, there's so much you can do with like basically two colors, which is amazing.
Yeah, so a lot of people think, um, and you know, I don't fault anybody for it, because I had been there too, and once you start researching, you can really dive down the rabbit hole online and then feel even more confused than you started off with.
So- A lot of people think that cool versus warm colors is only the main primary colors.
So warm colors being orange, yellow, and red, and cool colors being green, purple, and blue.
And that's true, however, each one of those primaries, each one of the primaries has a cool and a warm to it.
And so if you are trying to mix a vibrant green, for example, but you have a cool red which leans blue, you're gonna come up with a muted green instead of that vibrant green you're looking for.
So a lot of people really struggle with greens and purples, and, you know, they'll have a red and they'll have a blue, and they'll be like, "Sweet, I can mix a purple." And then you go to mix a purple, but you have the wrong blue and the wrong red, which really are just leaning the wrong way, and you'll get a muted purple, and you'll feel so frustrated.
And I think it, I mean, it kind of, it ties into a bigger thing about us and art.
And then as we grow up, I certainly went through this phase unfortunately, you grow up, and you are told that art isn't valuable anymore.
So a lot of people, I went through it like I said, stop creating for a long time.
And then when they become adults, and they realize, thank God, that I'm a human, I need to create to be happy.
