John Wellington Color Theory Master Class

[@Ashley-rl7ig]

I love how nerdy he gets about it.... like you can see how he's holding back how excited he is talking about this. It's one of the best color history/theory videos I've ever seen.

[@Free2Dream]

I never had the opportunity to take art classes. I studied business since everyone discouraged my creative career. But painting is where my heart is. Thank you for explaining all of this so well. I always questioned where artists originally found their paints and you answered it! Great job.

Like you, I just found this video by chance. It's brilliant. I'm only just starting to paint ☺️

[@DonnaRatliff1]

​@JerrysArtarama I almost subscribed thinking this was your channel. I'm new at painting but had been a hairdresser for 30 yrs taught me about the color wheel and how colors react to natural things like hair. Colors are endless. Thank you for the tutorial, thoroughly enjoyed it. I stumbled across the video while trying to decide what to paint on my masterbath walls. Perhaps trees would be nice but honestly I live in a forest on Lookout mtn AL so looking out any window i see plenty. But I have to say I love your tree you painted. So sad to in live in the concrete jungle of NYC. There's nothing better than getting your hands in the dirt to grow your own food. Nothing from any store tastes like nor is nutritious. Walking through the forest with the horses in nature is the best.

I’m sitting here as a self-taught artist, 45yo, and came across this gem! I took one art class in college. The teacher seemed so judgmental, and the students seemed in competition with each other. It wasn’t the kind of environment I wanted to be in, besides, I was majoring in nursing. However, life still brought me down the artist path. Anyway, I enjoyed the lesson and your philosophy. I’m excited to be a new subscriber.

I’m 23 minutes in and I’m already floored by the huge amount of knowledge I’m gaining from John. He’s spectacular and I adore his character as much as his lesson. He is inspirational in the way Bob Ross was in that he makes the kind point that art is personal and that rules need not apply if it works for you. Thank you so much for this!

[@freedomprincipal]

I was told in my Art classes that I should never use black. Being a new artist at the age of 46, I didn’t challenge the concept. I was told that black conveys the absence of any color and leaves the painting with a void feeling. Thanks for the liberating knowledge!!

[@rodica69]

I am a digital graphic designer. My painting teacher (since before computer era) taught us using 4 colours: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Those are also the basic colours used by printing houses (there are also special colors, those have codes and have to be used as a separate printing layer). Long story short: using CMYK can create any colour except neon colours, ofcourse. Black is a must when painting on canvas with these 4 basic colors or creating digital art for print, also using CMYK. A delicate shade of gray, using about 5-8% black (K) has the elegance of silver. Paint just one delicate object or wrte something using a delicate, elegant caligraphy and it will become a genuine visual jewel.

🎨 I use the term "play" a lot in painting. It has bothered some artistic people around me. To me, it means experimenting with an open mind and heart. It's a most joyous time and learning time for me 🎨

[@spiritwardiaries]

Love that❤. For me it's easier to play when I purposely buy cheaper paints or canvases so I'm not thinking about how much it cost me to experiment. I bought some of the cheapest acrylic paint that comes in those squeeze bottles in the craft section and made some of the most amazing landscapes and sunsets 🌇 I gave them all away as gifts and people seemed to really enjoy all the paintings I made just from playing around. Now I'm making a series from everything I learned thanks to just letting go and not thinking about everything so much.

[@Pneumanon]

It is absolutely play. Play is vital to creativity, just ask Picasso or John Cleese. But just because it’s play, doesn’t mean it is frivolous.

[@MelissaR784]

[@karenm8952]

wow! I am only 20 minutes in, but had to pause to say "wow", such interesting information regarding the origin and names of these pigments, e.g. Raw Sienna vs. Burnt Sienna! Who knew?? and of course, how interesting about black and how it mixes, and also Lamp Black and Ivory Black name origins. I am totally enthralled. I have always been a bit of a nerd when it comes to the detail facts, so I am loving this. And I am realizing just now, how fabulous the presentation is too! I'm sure another teacher might not come across so interesting. Thank you!! Now eagerly back to the lesson......

P.S. and I don't understand why they would not teach these interesting details in art school??

I love teaching colour theory. The colour tint charts begin on day two using a 5-colour pallet, & complimentary mixing charts. These tools help beginners get close to the colour they want to create, and are really great to begin daily practice with. Ohhh the feel of the pallet knife slicing thru a new thick blob of paint, smooshing it into the tempered glass surface. The creamy firmness as you spread it into the canvas (I recommend canvas sheets for easy transport.) I’m going to get me paints out, my dad’s Joseph Albers Colour Theory book and play!

[@jamesduncan578]

John, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, and joy. Jerry's, thank you bringing this wonderful artist to us. I am "learning" watercolor and the motivational motto for me is 'it's just paper". From here forward it will be " it's just paint and paper". I don't think that the medium makes much difference, whether it's oil, water or pastel, it's all about color and finding the mood that we are trying to convey. Thanks again, I think I'll go mix some colors now.

I just said this to my daughter a few hours ago. I taught my student two hours prior, before picking up my daughter. Create My student is a perfectionist. Painting is an expression. Mess up then work it out or ignore it, on the spot or later. Our emotions flow as deeply or is lit up just the same as our paint achieves the onward experience of playing upon our own joyful brush-strokes journey. ETA🌹

I was in a normal school and our art teacher told us not to use black. We asked the question "why?" and the answer was not too bad, I think. He said, because it doesn`t exist in nature. But we also learned white and black are NO colours, so your explanation of black being a colour (you make a colour choice) is an eye-opener and very helpful.

'every choice is right if it works for you'. This is very true regarding teaching and making our own art and a philsophy worth 'subscribing' to. And yet experience and knowledge helps give us more available choices. The tutorial here is very good because it shows us more options. The thing is, I have mixed black and yellow before to produce green, but did not think too much about it beyond intuitiveness. So to have this demonstrated is really helpful, because then you have this new language to apply and choose from.

[@joeywilson7198]

Growing up I was in every art class available. Even in high school I took every art class available even getting into advanced art that you had to be selected to. After HS I even attended the now defunct Art Institute of Dallas for 2 years. All that to say I’ve learned more in just over an hour from you than every art class I’ve ever taken. Thank you.

I stumbled across your video on Color Theory. I had been watching other painting videos hoping to pick up some ideas for a holiday project. I really enjoyed your lecture on color theory and your talk on how you were taught not to use black in painting. Your demonstration on the lemon and how the contour color turned green using the black color. It’s only natural to think that using a darker color like black would add the depth you need to create a deeper color. I learned earlier how color can affect your work. I was giving a class on make-up design and one of my students wanted to use a blue shadow for her finished look. In the process of applying the blue shadow, she stopped me an and asked why the color was turning green instead of blue. At the time she asked me that question, I was already dealing with twenty-four other students needing my help that I did not even think about the color change until after the class. My student had a deep warm yellow undertone which explains why it turned green. I have learned so much from my students and still alot to learn as an artist and instructor. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge as an artist and teacher. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks again, Dominic

Your sharing color mixing but in my childhood crayons is how I learned to mix colors going from 8 to the 48 then 64 crayon colors. I did a portrait of each teacher. Black was my outline color in many childhood pictures. When I was criticized by other classmates it effected my freedom of expression. That is why Andrew Wyeth home schooled his children to protect his children’s creativity. So I agree with your philosophy about painting and color mixing rules! Thank you for sharing.👍🎨😊

Thank you for your lesson. I really enjoyed following you. I am 57 and on my three years of painting, it's strange that I explore colours the same way you do. Thank you so much

Another view to consider.. . If you are studying the Dutch still life, lemons( symbols of sobriety), depending on the type of light.. window or candle or natural lights.. the colors are dependent on that difference. Willem Kalf was the master of the lemon. So true about the next object. And about greens.. Good lesson. Personally I never use burnt sienna nor ultramarine blue. Both are, to me not dependable. Venetian red mixed with pthalo blue is very strong and versatile as a brown or any dark. Pthalo blue can be mixed for any blue, unlike ultramarine blue which is really a hue. My black is 1/3 Prussian blue, 1/3 alizarin crimson, 1/3 lamp black. Ivory black is cheap and cracks later. You have a very solid knowledge of colors and philosophy. So refreshing! Thank you. PS after you put down a thicker area, try blotting it with Scott’s toilet paper. It gives a great finish especially for the varnish later. Lead white is no more. Not since the 70’s. Thank God. I wish I knew you. I live in Ky and I don’t have any masters to discuss true art with.
