Since I’m trying to come out of this creative hiatus I’ve been in for about almost two years. I’ve been thinking about all the time I’ve been on YouTube and the things I’ve learned for art, music, and writing. They’re all just sitting there in playlist. I thought, “Why I’m chillin’ trying to figure out what I want for myself, these playlist of information are just sitting there gathering dust. “ UNTIL NOW. I created a YouTube channel so people can checkout videos from the content creators I follow in my PLAYLIST. I even got one for beginning Skateboarders like me. So come and gather underneath this growing tree of information. Even I am behind on so many of these videos (There’s a lot ). I haven’t upload any original videos accept for a REALLY quick one to test out if the upload works, it’s me and a couple friends from back in the day goofing off on our Art Night. The bit of dialogue made me smile so I left it up! Anyway I hope this helps people on there own journeys. The search word is OMEGAMMX2. Enjoy!

SCHOOL DAYZ #3

Hey Facebook, it's me Brando, what's up ! What's up with me you ask? I've been tolling away in the painting lab, now I come to you with my newest efforts! This is the first color painting in our class. You had to take the concepts that we learned ; lights and darks, lighting, value shifts, intensity and layering, then also adding color shifts, color theory, and temperature shifts like warm colors (including red, orange, yellow and sometimes black) and cool colors (including blue, green, purple and sometimes white). So the thing is to balance them and make all of them strong . The thing that I learned the most is that nothing is just one color , even if you see one area of color like in the bottle, lets say the shadow side, it's shadow use black right? WRONG! There are at least 5 different colors and in the real thing there are probably dozens more. I only used black if it was impossible to get that color darker and to keep intensity. The white on the torn label is not just white, there is orange and blue in it, at some parts there's green in the blue bottle and red in the green bottle not including the reflection. You are always adjusting colors also, by the end of the drawing I can not tell you what exact hues (colors) aRe in the painting I changed them so much and that's a good thing. Anyway the problem was that the drawing wasn't symmetrical, which was a result of rushing and I had trouble seeing that it was warped from close up .The composition was simple because of the worry of handling color. The instructor also said I could of made the background more colorful but honestly how much color could you bring out of an old chalkboard, admittedly it could of used some intensity, but the other person who did the chalkboard I though brought out too much color, but he didn't say anything about that. Anyway the positive feedback was I did a great job rendering the bottles and showing a sense of light. So the grade I ended up getting was a B+ . Still can't get that A !
