@JoeCartwright Жыл бұрын
I will give your question some thought and see if I can produce a video that will help some more. However, if you mix two primaries together, and you get a nice pure looking secondary, then you know that those primaries only have the same two colors in them. For example French Ultramarine and Permanent Rose produce a lovely pure looking violete. That tells you that they each must only have a little of each other's color. In this way, you can work out, for your own palette, which colors are warm and cool.

Thank you for the very best explanation for why some primary color combinations are bright, and others are dull.

You're welcome. Thank you for the feedback. Obviously practice is important, however a couple ot tips which might help are to look at the colour you know is warm say French Ultramarine is a warm blue, and compare other blues to it - with a little practice it becomes quite easy to see if a colour is warmer or cooler than another similar colour.

Hi Robert, I assume you are using Winsor Blue (Green shade) not (Red shade), if so all the color leanings are correct. The earth colors I used most of are Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, and Raw Umber. I do also use Burnt Umber at times but not as important (to me) as the other three.
@RobertHopkinsArt2 жыл бұрын
Yup! WB, Green shade. I did have to think about that one for a second, if the "y" applied to that color. Green shade pushes towards yellow when you make green so I assumed that the "y" would be the correct letter. Thanks for the advice on the earth shades. I have all of those and am good to go.

If you keep to a limited palette of about 12 to 14 colors then you can easily work out what subcolors exist in your pigments, by comparing the results of your mixes. One of my future videos will cover the colors in my palette along with their sub color. In the mean time you could probably just google each color asking what their color bias is.

I understand the need for only two colours for a pure secondary, but the stumbling block is when I look at a red say, does it have a bit of yellow in it, or a bit of blue in it? Any tips?
@JoeCartwright2 жыл бұрын
In time you get to be able to look at a colour and see whether or not it leans to a second colour (most do). However, I know that is not so easy when you are first beginning. There are a number of tips which may help you. 1. Google the colour and ask what the secondary bias is for a particular colour. Most likely someone will have already posted it. 2. Compare your colour in your palette to the other ones in it - this is why it is best to just have 12 - 14 colours which you know very well, rather than 60, of which you know very little. For instance, French Ultramarine leans to the red, so when you put it next to normal Cobalt Blue (as opposed to Cobalt Blue Deep) you can see that Cobalt Blue does not lean to the red. In fact Cobalt Blue is close to a pure blue. Then you can compare Cobalt Blue to another blue, such as Cerulean Blue, which will show that Cerulean leans a little to the green - which means it has a bit of yellow in it. 3. The third tip is that you can take a colour with a known bias, and by mixing another colour with it you can get an idea of what the bias is of the second mixed colour based on wheather you mix a pure secondary or a dull tertiary colour. Hope that helps.
