Colour for Artists, Part 2 of 3. With Alan McGowan

The Elements of Colour. Alan McGowan examines how colour works in painting, in light and pigment, and how artists can use this to understand colour mixing and the colour worlds they and other artists create in their pictures.

Thank you Mr. Mcgowen I feel like I can really understand what emotions colors can carry and how important are to the context of the painting. Thank you so much.

Another great and comprehensive focus on colour, thanks Alan. Makes me revisit my work and understand their colour stories much clearer and makes me understand what I should be focusing on when bring a narrative together. Really really helpful . Ellie .

thank you, what a fantastic series - the art classes I never had... absolutely invaluable. One (hopefully helpful) technical observation though: After watching the first video I had to search your channel page for part 2 & I have noticed that this second video has significantly less views than part one which is a shame. I assume it's mainly because of the title formatting not being consistent: If this video would be named "Understanding Colour for Artists with Alan McGowan. Part 2 of 3" the KZbin-algorithm would recognize the connection automatically and recommend it as the "next video" (same with part 3). Now, it suggests your "Why we make art?" as a follow-up to Part 1 which doesn't make much sense. Just a thought. Cheers

Many thanks for the technical heads up. I'll do that. Glad the videos worked for you. Cheers Alan
