Video Transcript

"So here you see I sort of have established piles of like hues, again meaning choosing a color and kind of going through. As I was going through my magazines, you can see how this pile here establishes a sort of hue palette as I'm going through, in different variations in tone, in patterns, and then you know, being able to sort of have a variety and a range in order to work from so that I'm making sure that I can work from dark to light in one area if I need to, I can change up the interest inside of a piece in order to like make it more interesting rather than it having just the same one piece color that goes all the way throughout. You could decide to do whichever. Any of those things work as a possibility. Shapes on faces and things like that are very interesting ways, using skin and using backgrounds, and shapes of like a cage, things like that, I'm always thinking about when I'm making these piles of hues. So, set them out for yourself so you have a distinguishing place between them all."
