Color Theory Ep. 5 | Avoid Mud - Color Mixing with Ease

[@MissRuthina]

This was absolutely the clearest video of colour mixing I've ever seen in my life. I'm getting my washi tape out. The best method EVER.

[@OtoKano]

So glad you like this method! Happy painting Ruth!

[@1973jfox]

Thank you. The most informative yet simple to understand explanations of color theory I’ve seen on KZbin yet.

[@angiewright-artist8246]

Excellent video Oto! The diagram and sticky tape to separate keeps it clear visually and you were very concise summing up the explanation and pointing out the differences and how to use to your advantage

[@anonleeleichner3915]

Clear, precise, concise, to the point.....fabulous explanations. You were certainly born to do this!.

[@robincooper9323]

Thank you for another great, easy to understand video. Thank you also for showing us how to make user friendly palettes with these ideas. They are very helpful, as I am a beginner/intermediate.

[@dorothyeileen]

Wow. This is so Super helpful! I am really appreciating your training and teaching style. I'm so glad to have found your channel! I've been catching up on all the color theory videos this week. I can't say enough about how happy and lucky I feel - to have access to such a deep dive into color theory. You're awesome!

[@betsyleavitt3332]

Thanks!

[@HannahSheehan]

I enjoyed and mostly understood the previous version of this video, but this is a great redo with clear explanations!

[@OtoKano]

I'm so glad you understood the last version, it's a relief to hear it Hannah, thank you.

[@abeerjehan7039]

Something very scencible addition in colour mixing lessons. 🙏

[@gerrid9092]

Thank you! I watched your series and it’s the first time that it’s all made sense to me in terms of mixing and muted and brights. I never realized the importance of the different shadow colors to show off the bright colors either.

[@asESUas24]

Watching video while testing QOR paints...:) Both episodes make sense- thank you for trying so hard to explain something that might look a bit tricky until you try to apply rules in real life.

[@OtoKano]

You're so right. It is a tricky concept until you try it in real life.

I very happily just became a Patron of yours! I should have done it sooner! Your content is fabulous and love hearing your soothing voice and even the way you swirl watercolor on a porcelain surface is mesmerizing! Your color theory explanation is so easy to comprehend and love the many steps you have broken it down to and it is free!!!!! I am so happy to "Patron" your channel!!!!! (I only Patron 3 others - your friends Eve, Denise and Steve ) and I learned of all 4 of you (and other KZbinrs from Lindsay, the Frugal Crafter. Like she says - the rising tide floats all boats! Love that you all refer to each other and more, to many to mention, okay - Teoh, Marty, Sade, Karia, stop me!Lol! Paula in Florida

[@OtoKano]

Thank you so much for becoming a Patreon Paula! It's so very kind of you. Really glad you are finding the color theory series easy to follow :D

[@Itsme_1648]

Thank you for creating this series. I started watching last night and I have to say this is the most thorough color theory series I’ve come across. Thank you so much for providing such detailed and thoughtful content. I’m a makeup artist who is starting to dab into watercolor. Much appreciated! Love from Alabama, USA ❤️

[@melanychaiquin8020]

This video should have a TON of likes. So informative! Thank you!

[@1mataleo1]

Wow. This is genius. This helps me so much. Thank you for taking the time to explain this! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Dr. Oto Kano, you are brilliant! I had figured out that proximity would give me a true purple, cr and wb. But I had not been able to figure out the green (the reason) using blues and yellows. I knew how to get there, but not why. Thanks for making it clear in such an easy way.

[@mezina92]

THIS. IS. AMAZING. MY MIND IS BLOWN. 😲😍

[@rachelchan2215]

Love your videos very much. Your explanation on Color theory is the best l come across。Thanks for your sharing 👍🙏🏻

[@SuperExadidas]

Great presentation! Methodical and easy to understand.

[@sue6002]

Your color theory lessons are awesome. QUESTION-since you use a single green for E&F, could you then use the xtra space on the 12 circle palette for the cool yellow?? Thanks for all of this wonderful information

[@JosefinaH33]

I am so glad I subscribed to this channel and to be part of your Patreon community!

[@sharynr4067]

I love you! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I can't wait to experiment.

[@gnostie]

A very good video. Thank you for making it.

[@erins.5420]

Do you have yellow shade or blue shade for (E) green? Yellow shade will mix a perfect neutral with the quin rose. Blue shade will mix a purpleish navy like you showed in your demonstration. Love the egg palette! And idea for mixing within the brackets for brights. There are a few exceptions to the rule but great way to explain things. Happy New Year!!!!

[@joaneduquette5630]

This is great! Thank you!!

[@EternalResonance]

you where recommended by Teo Yi Chie's channel. good stuff

[@OtoKano]

Aw that's such an honour, thank you for the heads up!

[@cherylredmond672]

So good! So helpful! Thanks for sharing.

[@martie837]

I’m a little confused. It seemed like I’m supposed to have an extra three colors if we’re doing a warm and cool of the 3primaries. I ended up going by your list below. Really cool series!

[@alvax2455]

very interesting, thank you! What about browns and blacks? are all browns muddy? how to decide how to mix a brown, an e.g. burnt sienna-like color? thank you.

[@OtoKano]

oh yes Alva, that's totally coming up :D

[@AB-vb2mm]

Really good explaint!

[@helenevans2652]

This was the most useful!, thank you so much!

[@dragonsong86]

This makes sense to me until I try to use a color that is right by the primary split line as the base color for mixing. For example, if I use E where you have (E) as the base for mixing, then on the right hand side where you have (E)+(C) and (E)+(B), I would mix E+(B) and E+(C), right? But then on the left hand side... there is nothing there to mix it with going counterclockwise that is still within the E to (B) 3rd of the palette. So what do I do to get the bright red-orange and muted red-orange? Should it be E+A for the bright and E+cool yellow for muted? Hope my question makes sense! lol

[@radharcanna]

Great explanation. By the way, I love your accent!

[@MissNiyuu]

Should I pick warm or cool primaries? I want to try Schmincke horadam so I thought getting the primaries in tubes would be the best thing to get, but I can't decide if I should get warm or cool tones...

[@OtoKano]

The best option is to get both. Here's a video explaining why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5uqp6emZdGCqtk

[@rosehenry3903]

Notifications won’t allow ALL to be ticked ? Any suggestions to help with thanks

[@eddiedavenport2667]

Help!!!!! I'm confused about something. In the upper pallet you have 15 colors. In your porcelain pallet you only have 13 colors. How do I number the 15 colors. What happened to the missing colors? I thank you in advance. Eddie Hi. I was wondering if you had a chance to answer my inquiry. Thank you.

[@NightAndDay247]

Wow! You explained this in such an accessible way! BUT I did have one quick question: How do I give this video 2 thumbs up? Lol! Great job!!

[@OtoKano]

Aw Carlos, thank you so much :D So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@judicousineau]

WOW!!!! OK, I just watched this video twice, saved it to my Watercolor playlist and has completely opened up my eyes to color mixing. I have been so lost on this topic, but this video and series in its entirety has been fantastic. Question - What is the palette (rectangle) you are using? I need one of those ;) Thanks Dr. Kano

[@OtoKano]

It's just a ceramic plate I bought cheaply from a local discount store. Any ceramic plate with maximum flat surface will do :)

[@nautiloda]

Oto for the A color (warm yellow) the complementary is (A) a violet color, but what about the cool yellow?

[@alvandrahimi1329]

does it those rules also for oil paints

[@Miastrong930]

Great video. Thank you.

[@carolferguson5467]

Would that be true when painting were in wet on the paper, does that create muted colors?

[@roudhamm]

There are colors that are missing in the made up color wheel from the split for example yellow red the color between c and b mid tone of magenta and primary blue not cyan

[@cristinalattuada5322]

Thank you so much to you 👏

[@skye4365]

excuse me dr. kano, can I request a buff titanium video? I'm planning on learning urban painting and I saw two Daniel Smith sets that was advertised for Urban Painting and they both contained Buff Titanium and I was curious if you'd only use it as its pure color or could you use it for mixing. Im planning of having it in my palette but if i'd only use it as it is, it would be useless. Sorry for the long question😅

[@DahHar117]

Wow wa. Thanx.

[@paulabush4679]

Wow! 💡💡💡

[@anonymousfellowindian]

Great

[@dolphinpmo]

Great video but got a question: since you inserted a cool yellow in the 12 color palette, doesn't it change the letter assignments and color complement pairings?

[@jaimeanderson9238]

No because it's purpose is not to dull a complimentary color :)

[@danyhodiesne1261]

J’aimerais avoir cette vidéo en français 😩😩😩

[@mariamyre9778]

👌🙏🏼🎨👩‍🎨❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@burak5601]

I still don’t understand why you don’t have a spot for a cool yellow ;( 2 red, 2 blue, 2 orange, 2 purple, 3 green and 1 yellow.. these numbers trigger my OCD :( pls take one of greens out for another yellow oto, MAKE YELLOW GREAT AGAIN!

[@OtoKano]

That's totally coming Burak! This is just for learning color theory. In practice, when painting in real life, of course having cool yellow is amazing. It's my favourite color to have and I never make a palette without my holbein Aureloin.

[@ArtsiRosi]

"Make yellow great again!" HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAA funny!
