“The colour mint green doesn’t exist in nature, it is unnatural!”These are the words of my art teach
“The colour mint green doesn’t exist in nature, it is unnatural!”These are the words of my art teacher when I went to this art “school” run by the town’s cultural institute (or something like that, can’t remember, it was many many years ago). I was very young at the time and didn’t have the guts to question my teacher at the matter, but I remember thinking myself: “That just CAN’T be possible!” I was super into animals and nature when I was younger (and still am) and the whole idea of the colour mint green being unnatural just didn’t sound correct at all.Thinking back now it kind of makes me mad to think about it. If you don’t like some colour on a personal level, that shouldn’t limit someone else’s work! and even if, IF, some colour would be “unnatural”, why that colour would be all of a sudden banned? I just remember her being REALLY thick headed about her hatred towards the colour. And why should everything even be all natural? Draw mint green coloured giraffes if you please! By saying you shoudn’t use some colours in your works is the same thing as putting you imagination on a leash in my opinion!All of that thinking got me to draw a piece that has plants and animals that NATURALLY are/ can be mint green coloured, geez who would have thought! -- source link
