Does painting teach you to see more colors?

When you learn to paint realistically, something unexpected happens. You start seeing more colours, shapes and details in the world around you that you'd never really noticed before. In this short video, four members of my online art school, Nature Studio, describe how learning to paint from close observation has changed the way they see the world. From discovering the surprising colours found in shadows to noticing the subtle hue and tone variations in leaves and flowers, they explain how developing their painting skills has also trained their eyes, giving them a whole new appreciation of the world around them. And the best part? You get to enjoy this heightened awareness even when you haven't got a paintbrush in your hand! 🎨 Has painting changed the way YOU see the world? I've written a blog post exploring this fascinating side effect of learning to paint. Please pop over to my blog for a quick read. And if you've experienced this phenomenon too, I'd really love to hear from you in the conversation happening in the comments beneath the blog post: https://www.naturestudio.com/painting-changes-the-way-you-see/ 🌻 Want to learn to paint realistic watercolours from nature?
