How To Recognize Colored Pencil Undertones Class 1

[@ArtistJane]

Lori I’m a fine artist who’s been working with colored pencils since 1998, and I have to say I love your channel. This makes things so much easier! I don’t know why they don’t teach this in college. In my experience, they only introduced the color wheel in Painting 1 class. This is awesome. Keep up the amazing work! 🙌🎨 ✏️

[@paulavance5096]

Great content here! I'm ordering both wheels now. No printer but this is important enough for me to get the paper work and have it printed on good paper. I think I'm even more excited after watching this! Thanks again, Lori.

And I LOVEEEE Colour Theory! 🎉 💃

[@cateyes3813]

I had the... Colour Wheel Company (?) wheel and I thought it needed more because umm, yeah - there's a difference between Green Blue and Blue Green, because one is more a Blue and the other is more a Green. What you call your base colour would be the noun, and the preceding word is the adjective. That's how I think of it to make sense to me coming from a literature POV - adjective/noun, with the noun being the dominant word. But yeah - I always thought that those colour wheels that people usually use weren't that comprehensive/useful! So thank you for directing us to a better colour wheel! I've been half-looking for a better one for ages and keep forgetting about it, and this is going to be very invaluable 👍

Love Jazza, he's another great artist!!!

[@aliceharmon5740]

I say ‘greenish yellow” instead of green yellow and that helps to figure out that green was added to yellow.

[@debbiearroyo1115]

Love the intro had me cracking up. Lori, I didn’t see the gray scale & value finder listed under the video description unless I missed it. I did find it on Amazon hopefully it’s the right one, it’s listed for $5.91.

[@Krisstofers]

I didn't either, but found the same one you did on Amazon!

[@sandrapawula4075]

What a great start!

[@Krissscat]

Yay! I'm super excited for this course. Thank you so much!

[@jimworsnup6203]

Looking forward to this course. I've enjoyed all your youtube and have high expectations of this series. So flip my coloring world :)

[@marytcarter9571]

Okay I found the color wheel and ordered it. Thank you

[@cynthiasymons]

Hi, Lori. I have been looking for an answer to the following question for about a week, searching through all your videos. (I bought Comprehensive Coloring 1 & 2.) If you addressed it somewhere and I missed it, so sorry-I am hoping you see it here: While swatching colors in the Prismacolor set, you typically use your pods to show the tone and the tint. When shading the tone, I have a multitude of grays that I can use. I assumed you would use cool grays with cool colors, but it becomes more complicated when one considers undertones. So I figured that cool grays would be used with a cool base color... But then there is also the question of which percentage of pigment? Does it change when one has a lighter color? I have the whole 150 set of Prismacolor. My swatched tones are not looking like the computer-printed version at all (not that I would expect them to be identical). Anyhow, I’m finally breaking down and asking you after a valiant search. Thanks!

[@PursuingHeaven]

Awesome class Lori, ordering my new tools and the class materials. I know I didn't need to but I also ordered some new polychromos just cause ;) . Can't wait for your new set to come out!

[@Shelleyweaver84]

I struggle with what I do with browns on the colour wheel. Do you go with the under tone of the colour of where it goes on the colour wheel?

[@cindythoren6318]

Found the color wheel and grayscale value finder both on Amazon, the color wheel won't be here until june!! Oh well, hopefully I can wing it until then. Super excited about this course and lessons. Learning yo use oil pencils will be a spectacular journey for me!

[@FernCurtis]

Lol - Lori...I guess it shows that I'm not a beginner ....I couldn't help but go..."Limepeel and AquaMarine" (Haven't used my Poly's enough yet to automatically "go there") when you had asked us what the two colors were....didn't have a long time to analyze the two colors or I may have chosen a different one for the "green"...but I knew instantly that it had yellow in it....☺️

[@KipperBits]

Hi, am I being dense? (ha, most likely!). Were we not told that the best wax crayons we have are the ones we need but in the video, oil ones seem to be the ones we are to work with? I am lucky to have good sets of both but I just want to be super ready! THANKS xxx

[@christinawilliams6264]

I love your videos and your attitude u always make me laugh u would be a blast to hang out with.

[@ColorMyWorld]

Thank you

[@yazosoyo]

I’ve used the order you provided in the 1st edition of the Prismacolor comprehensive color blending system What do we do with browns and skin tones?

[@jaguar661000]

I just set up my pencils according to your Beginners Blending book. Prismacolor. Is this a different set up?

[@davidwong2781]

I can see now that this course couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I knew I wanted to understand colors better, but didn’t really know how to proceed. And that was also why I’ve been hesitating to swatch my various media. I wanted to order them in some meaningful way and then swatch them, but it felt like I was randomly ordering colors without really being able to identify them properly or else I was relying on someone else to have put it in some meaningful order for me, and I didn’t really like either option.

[@carrotfreak1]

This video is so helpful, looking forwards to the course.

[@panda2lacey]

Course paperwork printed ✅. Extra supplies ordered ✅. Excited about learning from Lori ✅✅. I am ready. 💖

[@patriciadrogos6809]

Hi Lori. I am confused. Are undertone and base color the same? What about browns and tans, greys and neon colors? I don’t know what the undertone/base color is. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent and patience with me. I have purchased Color Blending 1 and 2, was working through 1 but decided to join you on this journey and go back later to 1.

[@jaguar661000]

This has just made color referencing click! I could never figure it out. Now I can. Love this channel ❤

[@ColorMyWorld]

I am glad it did. Once it really sets in and you get used to looking for the undertone colors, it makes everything easy. It also translates well to other media like paints etc.

[@jaguar661000]

@@ColorMyWorld Hi Lori. Hope things are going well for you. I have a question about the swatch sheet. Where do I find it?

[@sandysisson1100]

I always learn so much from you

[@yazosoyo]

I have the small color wheel you showed and a larger one, I’ll see if I can get this one you are showing, also the grayscale value... I am really hoping my set of round Brutfuner oil based pencils will suffice for this course.

[@calliecross1735]

Hello Lori- I bought your paper work to do this class. You are a great teacher; I am learning a lot. When is the next class?

[@syds7135]

I have so many color wheels. I hate to say this one I don’t have. I just ordered it. I trust your judgement. Thank you!❤️

[@ColorMyWorld]

I have just about everyone they sell on Amazon. This is the only one I use. I wanted to offer choices because I have had this one so long. There was nothing on there like this. They were all made for paint where this one can be used with pencil.

[@jennywuster5590]

Great explanations thank you

[@melissascoloringandmulti-taski]

I'm so glad for this class. I need all the help I can get.

[@loriann70]

Ok, I'm confused already! Lol it doesn't take much, believe me! I have 72 Prismacolor set and I thought that would do but it looks like we need oil pencils? I was waiting until your new set came out but lol, ok, I’ll order a set if we need them?

[@wanderingstar5673]

Is it just me or does the tone side not show much of a difference in color from the outer edge to the inner tip? I can clearly see a significant difference on the tint side of the wheel.Maybe I will see the difference more clearly when I get the actual color wheel.

[@leyendaos1873]

Always learning... Thanks!

[@khaalis9385]

Confession and transparency time. I must admit that I had my color wheel packed away and haven't used mine in a year. Now what message does that send? Hmmmmmm. And I wonder from time to time why all my pictures are Monochrome? Even though everyone loves my personal style, I find that it can be boring at times. I am soooooo looking forward to breaking out of my self-imposed shell.....

[@dewisalim3320]

Hi, thank you for this video. I would love to get the color wheel, but the link got me to the 12 colors color wheel, not the 18 colors one?

[@ColorMyWorld]

Thank you for letting me know. They may have run out of stock. I'll check on it now.

[@ColorMyWorld]

Here it is from a different vendor. The other vendor ran out and they are defaulting to another one of their things. I hate it when amazon does that. amzn.to/33PN2fO

[@dewisalim3320]

@@ColorMyWorld Thank you!

[@dewisalim3320]

About the printing paper, have you, or anyone here, tried Springhill Digital Vellum Cardstock, in 67 lb or 80 lb? It is cheaper than Neenah Exact Vellum Bristol, at least on Amazon, so I wonder if the quality is the same, or inferior. I am located in Australia, so the only way I can access these papers is buying from Amazon.

[@ColorMyWorld]

I liked the neenae or how ever you spell it a bit better. I got more tooth out of it.

[@dewisalim3320]

@@ColorMyWorld Thank you very much for confirming. I am looking for paper with more tooth, so I will go for Neenah :)

[@FeathPymArt]

If I hadn't already been subscribed, this would have got you a new sub. :) I knew what a blue/green color is a mixed color, I knew putting down one color over the other gave you different results. I didn't know how the naming system worked, telling me which color was put down first. I am now armed and dangerous!

[@lorrykohls]

Great start thank you Lori

[@LizaLikeMinnelli]

Maybe a silly question, but once we buy the paperwork on Etsy, will all teaching videos be put up here on this channel or do we go to another place to get all the lessons related to that paperwork?

[@ColorMyWorld]

There is one private video. You get the refrence pictures.

[@gladyschewyful]

Where is lesson 1 I bought 2

Check your profile account on Etsy. The downloads are there.

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Great, now I have to learn how to color with oil based pencils 😳

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I know for a fact that Lori is not nuts. I have a color wheel not the one you mention but the Dritz one, I hope it will do. Rainbow I think it is called.

[@ColorMyWorld]

I have the Rainbow one too. I believe it's a 12 not an 18, but stick with it. It will work just not as well, you can always change it out if it doesn't work. It all depends on how close you want to match colors and factor in your ability to see colors and you will probably be OK. And my husband begs to differ with you about me not being nuts. He is standing here laughing and wants to make you a bet.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

@@ColorMyWorld I will never forget your love and generosity towards me. Not many people have that in their make up these days. I am for ever grateful to you and your understanding of my condition. I am still plugging along, and to top it off I now have developed tinnitus, just to make my life more interesting....i used to love walking, now if I go help Mike for groceries I am so tired when I get back, I have to sit in my chair and rest. You keep well dear friend and tell that husband of yours he lost his bet this time HA!
