A Simple Trick To Finding Analogous Color Trios And Value in Colored Pencils

[@shandasingletary7444]

Wow! How am I just now finding this video? I have been searching for a way to learn how to put my colored pencils in correct family order and here ya go! Thanks so much for this video! So very informative and you teach so well that even myself can learn lol Awesomess right here!!

[@alisamartin1437]

Your explanations and instructions were very clear, which makes your lessons easily understood. I really want to thank you for sharing these lessons. Your AWESOME!🌹

[@paulavance5096]

Excellent lesson! I guarantee that the people responsible for coming up with the idea of using gold metallic for the pencils info were under the age of 40-50. I'm lucky to get a glimpse of a number if the light hits it just right and the stars and planets are all aligned with a blue moon. 😂😵

[@denorene16]

I just asked a question about how to organize other brand of pencils than Star Joy Gold. This video has answered it for the most part. I'll watch it again but put both the grayscale finder and color wheel on my wish list.

[@ArtistrybyLisaMarie]

What a super easy way to find undertones! I love how well you explain your color selection. Well done!

[@kocobee]

Hi! I really like the shooting star looking graphics at the beginning of the video. I just started setting up my Deli pencils today. Thank you!

[@mistynielsen3209]

I’m with Dawn...super excited!

[@memoriesandphotobooks9569]

Hi thank you - I am learning a lot. My Deli set has the same numbers as yours - do you have a list so I can check my set up? Thanks

[@dawnharrison6046]

I am beyond excited about this series you are doing! Yeah!!! 🥳❤

[@ilovecoloringhazel4597]

I enjoyed this lesson. I did order my items, can't wait to start. And I can print, print, print! 😁

Ya got to go though one more video lesson and then we get down and dirty, ok, maybe not dirty, but definately dusty.

[@denorene16]

I have been doing some more reading and found info on undertones and overtones. Just to make sure I understand, the colors that are swatched out, those are the overtones, correct?

[@ColorMyWorld]

The undertone is like the hidden color in a color. So a Brown can be a red brown or a yellow brown. It makes a huge difference when blending because sometimes you are using a color and the undertone sneaks in a distorts it. I am going to start my color guidance videos soon and will review this concept. My Dad has been sick, but he is coming home tomorrow. I will have more time for KZbin

[@denorene16]

@@ColorMyWorld sorry to hear about your father not being well. Hope he recovers soon. Thank you for the update. I look forward to the new videos.

[@FeathPymArt]

I'm not sure where I picked it up (probably from my painting days) but _maintaining_ the tonal value was the most important thing. It's going to be hard for me to go against that instinct, but will try. I've been instinctively trying a lot of this, but I didn't know why or how. Good stuff!

[@ColorMyWorld]

Maybe you misunderstand because it goes for painting too. Then again it could be because you are creating the paint so you want to maintaing the same tonal value each time.

[@FeathPymArt]

@@ColorMyWorld I will watch again. It was when you had the two greens of the same tone, and you gave one of them a yellow undercoat, creating a brighter color. I'm missing something :( ah, re-reading your reply, yes, it was when mixing colors, mainly. nod nod. need same tone when mixing paints or it gets wonky.

[@ColorMyWorld]

@@FeathPymArt That's only if you don't have a proper trio in your pencils, but I'll be showing you so many ways of doing it once we have the pencils in our hands. We will be coming back to this subject so many times I promise it will start to make sence.

[@joannemiller9718]

Thank you so much for your great videos. Just purchased the new course Comprehensive Color Blending 2. I am having difficulty finding all of the swatch sheets that you have provided with names. I just find the ones for 8 sets..Amazon Basics through Mitsubishi Unicolored. I know I must be doing something wrong.

[@ColorMyWorld]

Did you download all 5 files? Everything is in there

[@joannemiller9718]

Yes. I did it on my tablet. Will check to see if it different on our PC. Is there a labeled swatch sheet for Prismacolors 150?

In the video at time code 2:35 you mention that you were going to put the order of the pencils in the description box... I could not find that information. Is it available elsewhere? I'd like to double check my order against yours. Thanks so much for all the amazing work you have done to bring us this far. Which would be the most usable order to arrange your pencils.... by value from dark to light in each color division, or pick a perfect trio then arrange the remainder by value. I want to set up my swatch sheets by color wheel divisions and then arrange my pencils to that order.

Hi Lori! I know this class stated already, but can we jump in at anytime and participate in this course still?

[@ColorMyWorld]

Yes! We are barely into it. We only did the first pre lessons. Would love to have you.

[@FindYourDivineDesign]

@@ColorMyWorld and I see that this is an intermediate course. Is there a beginning course we need to take prior to this course?

[@ColorMyWorld]

@@FindYourDivineDesign There is Comprehensive Coloring 1. That class is on lighting. It's not 100% necessary but it will make this easier. My beginner stuff really only deals with blending and it's not a full course.

@@ColorMyWorld thank you! I just signed up and reading to go! Just going through my silly list and first few videos! So exciting to learn more and hone my skills!!

[@RealMelodyBlue]

I have the Derwent Chinese White, I forgot to order the gray scale and value finder 😆 I have Polychromos 36 set, do I really need more?

[@jewelbriard5444]

I followed the link to the color wheel, but it looked different ?

[@yazosoyo]

The glare kind of messed up the lesson because I could not see the matching, but the concept is there... That color wheel is only available on Amazon US, does it have a specific name? I also have the rainbow color wheel and a very big conventional one. It’s a bit ironic that the Chinese white is one of the best white pencils 🙃

[@FernCurtis]

Yazmin....it is simply called Derwent White Chinese Drawing pencil...but their pencils are not manufactured in China...there is a difference......

[@ColorMyWorld]

amzn.to/3w0v6uH The wheel is in the UK

[@ColorMyWorld]

It's under COX big wheel

[@yazosoyo]

@@FernCurtis I was just commenting that it’s ironic is called “Chinese white” and that the white pencils from China are so weak 🤣, Derwent is a British company ❤️

[@randomstuffaustralia4074]

Thanks

[@LKMMcLaw]

Now that makes sense to switch to yellow when you only have greens in the same value range!

[@ColorMyWorld]

Yellow is part of green so it always blends into each other easily :)

Anyone watching this on Wednesday 5/12 - the Deli pencils are on lightning deal in Amazon $24.64 and ANOTHER 5% coupon for another hour (12:30pm EDT!

[@colorecstasy6673]

Lori I bought both courses-but I have been using the spring hill vellum that Jennifer stat recommends and it doesn’t print well and it’s a little brittle meaning it has tooth but it feels like with the harder pencils a bit flimsy like the tooth is sort of tearing. Is there a better 8.5x11 printing paper I can get for the drawing sets? I also need a recommendation of paper for the prismacolor color combo sets.

[@ColorMyWorld]

The link to the paper is in the description. It's something with a longer name. It's what I use for all my coloring. 67 pound.

[@colorecstasy6673]

Color My World 🤦‍♀️I ended up seeing it after the comment. I hope it holds up Better than the springhill. Wasn’t too impressed with it. Is the Neenah vellum what you use for the prismacolor cards as well? It looked like you brought some other paper on your field trip to the copy store. I tried to color over the prints fir the prismacolor card sets but it didn’t work to well. Trying to figure out if it’s because the printer put out a gloss over the paper or it’s because of the paper I used for it. For the color cards I used the pen gear cardstock it’s a bit smother than the springhill vellum but has a tad bit of tooth. Also you said to get our color cards ready. I thought I heard you talk about the polys. Will you be getting the combos for the polys for us. Wasn’t too excited about not having the tritones in the deli. But I did purchase the delis from Andy per your recommendation and I am happy to use them also in the course but prefer the polys just cuz there will be easier trios to set uo

Those are part of Lori’s course in Etsy. A blank is in her Facebook group. You print, color and use a razor knife.

[@FernCurtis]

@@sahdogwrangler5594 ....the swatch chart that you saw Lori use, is found in the PDF that you buy from her Etsy store. The blank swatch chart that is in the Facebook group is slightly different in that there is only the small rectangle and doesn’t have the nice neat space around it to fill in with color, so you will need to add those lines in if you only want to use the blank one that can be found in the group that or cut it out so that there is still color showing....that may or may not be the reason you couldn’t find it in the group...if you were looking for the exact one Lori was using in the video.
