MIXING PAINT | Color Theory, Color Wheel & Exercises

[@stanleytrimble]

The CYM(Cyan Yellow Magenta) color wheel is for photography which is the mixing of light and used in color photography. The RBY(Red Blue Yellow) is used in painting or coloring which is the mixing of pigments. The exception to this is color printers. Computers at first use the CYM color wheel because the monitors were light sources. When they started making color printers they had to use the same color wheel CYM. To get black you can print full cyan, full yellow and full magenta, but you wind up with dark brown. For black they had to add black. So printers are CYMK.

This was so useful, thank you for sharing! Color mixing has been a struggle for me for as long as I've been painting, and now I realize that I had never taken the time to sit down and learn why colors act the way they do. You taught it so well, and I loved the exercises you recommended. It doesn't feel so intimidating anymore. I'm so excited to try this out!! :D

[@maralea3679]

Can you do some more of this kind of video? I just started doing art and I really think you explain this so well

[@natdvill]

I really like how loosely you apply the colors to make all these pretty bright colors. This is a great exercise to repeat often! Love the grays! Brought me back to art school 👩‍🎨

[@catseyeview7]

I have been painting forever and my dad recently has been into painting and he asks me how to make colors and I have not found a video that can explain what I have learned until this video! Thank you, it is a better explanation then what I learned in cosmetology school! Please never stop what you are doing! You are amazing and I even though we have never met, I feel connected as an artist to you and it is a special community!

[@susanmiller6023]

You are amazing, a natural teacher. I've met many poor teachers in my 38 years as a teacher, but you explain things in an awesome way. Thank you.

[@mercedespaz911]

Thank you so much, Katie. I've recently taken an interest in acrylics and I just love your tutorials. I have learned a lot, and it is all because of you. Your tutorials are so instructive and better than most. Thank you so much for everything! Have a great day :3

[@chiranjibmajumdar3721]

Katie! Thank you so much for sharing such videos! At the age of 43, I am planning to start painting with no background... 😀 I just loved your idea of painting as a stress therapy! God bless, take care!

[@alexandrangoho128]

Good luck with your art!!!!

[@nlilifairweather8397]

This is the best and the clearest tutorial on color that I've seen. It all finally makes sense to me. Thank you

[@hamstersniffer]

I don't paint, my brother Steve was the artist of the family. But when I just want to relax, I pull up this video. Your voice is so soothing and I love to watch your hands.

[@brkhtj]

This was so helpful!! I feel like I got to take an art class for free! Thank you for sharing your knowledge like this, it’s crazy how much we can learn for free from the internet. This was inspiring! 💗

[@sandyliu8107]

When you explain it. it is so much easier to understand and remember. Love it.

[@diggascryptoawarenessdownu7246]

Such an ABC way to learn so much in such a short time, adding the white and getting so many greys really surprised me.. Thanks a bunch! Happy Days and God Bless

[@angelfly168]

I have a very hard time with mixing colors and I love the color swatch to practice color mixing. This video helped make sense of how to mix them. Thanks!

[@tabzist]

It's impressive to see your knowledge in art and colour. One thing they taught us throughout artschool was ALWAYS try to make our own colour from the primary three. You're so inspiring, calm and creative. Keep it up. I love your channel. ❤️❤️

[@chriseldridge7597]

Hi Katie. I have been painting in watercolour for many years and have enjoyed it but thought I should try some other mediums. I have tried a couple of pictures using Acrylics and to be fair, i have struggled but your videos have given me a lot of help, especially the colour wheels. I throughly enjoyed the sea scape with the wave and am looking forward to giving that a go. Your calm approach and reassurance that there is no right or wrong I’d great so thank you so much and keep going. Kind regards

[@byeorih3611]

Thankful for such patient/calm presence. Love your style and beautiful mindset you have and are spreading. Thank you for your encouragements everyday.

[@na7tiu6ka]

I've started recently and as much as I do the research I do enjoy listening to your videos! Thank you

[@angeladatseri5254]

I have been painting for a couple of years now and I can say that since I started I am slightly better at color mixing. Despite that, I was still so surprised to see with how many colors you and combinations you ended up having! It makes me want to try and do this at well at some point, just to see how many results I could get. Thank you for another informative video, it is always very relaxing watching watching your videos. :)

[@JJ-vr4xt]

BEST explanation of color mixing Ever. Thank you so much. WoW!

[@susansvorai7326]

This is a fantastic video. You are a wonderful teacher

[@fereshmahta6113]

you solved my problem. thank you. you are a great teacher the most beautiful one.

[@Nicole-ww9sb]

Thank you for this video! You really made it easier for me to understand colour as a beginner. I always enjoy watching your videos, I hope to see more

[@charlottebellamycreativephoto]

Absolutely brilliant, id been scared by the colour wheel as a newbie, but you explained it so simply with great examples. Thanks so much x

[@MrsPatJones]

Perfect - just what I need Katie. Thanks. Looking forward to part 2.

[@MariaRevArt]

One of my absolute favourite colour mixing videos. This was seriously amazing. Thank you so much. Looking forward to part 2. 😀

[@coldmountainpix]

What an awesome lesson!!!! I cannot wait to try this! Thank you Katie!! :)

[@appleyablokova6583]

The music in the back ground adds to the therapeutic effect. Thank you for sharing!

[@ellenmcanulty8538]

Thank you Katie this was a great video I have struggle with mixing paints and you have explain everything very clearly.. Going to check on the 2nd tutorial Thanks again😊

[@ConnyYngve]

I've just started painting miniatures and this video was really inspiring and helpful! I'm going to make me a color wheel tomorrow!

[@datosdan431]

I now understand the importance of the colour wheel! Lush video!

[@wendyadams3754]

Thanks, Katie! I learn so much from you. Great as always.

[@elizabethpoole6495]

So helpful Katie, thank you. Given me some great ideas to improve my work! They were all coming out the same garish shades and now I know why!

[@baileystafford9745]

The complimentary color mixing surprised me but made a lot of sense! Thank you for the useful info!

[@pegsy]

Hi Katie, i just want to thank you for inspiring me to have a go at painting. I did somehow manage to get a 'B' (thats good for me) in art many years ago during my O' level exams, back in good old 1985. Unfortunately, I haven't picked up a paint brush since. Life kind of got in the way. I do the odd pencil drawing every now and then, but that has its limitations and i just feel its time to get brave and use some colours! Your channel is clearly going to be very helpful and i will be looking forward to watching many more of your tutorials. Cheers!

[@spyuggy]

Great tutorial, I didn't know about the grey colours.Thank You.

[@mariannecustodio4180]

This video and your channel has helped me a lot with painting, since I am very new to it.Thanks for all your help!

[@KatieJobling]

+SideSisters Drawing and LPS Videos! Yay that makes me so happy! 😊

[@poojasajith4111]

I just love the free and limitless way of colouring😍

[@mathiasthrane3147]

My god you are such a sweet and pure human being... Watching this two years later I can say, that you just made my day.

[@KatieJobling]

Aww such a lovely comment 🥰 thank you! Have a beautiful day!

[@coemgeincraobhach236]

This took so much mystery out of colours for me. Thanks!

[@KatieJobling]

I'm so glad!

[@lizaa3705]

I swear it is so interesting for me , I like your videos , so much inspiration in your videos

[@georgiacarias2160]

This video is so calming

[@amazinggrace8088]

So helpful! Yes, I do remember not liking color wheel charts presented in an art class. Now, I see the importance. Thank you, Katie!

[@natdvill]

Amazing Grace I remembered doing color wheels at school and I felt the same as you. This video gives a fresh approach!

[@richiejourney1840]

Amazing Grace I remember them as well but is so fresh and new?

[@nadia5346]

Thank you so much Katie

[@neelamnaz7078]

Yup that's kinda great and amazing colour mixing I bought the basic colours yesterday and I wanna see colour mixing so very very much thank you and I love your paintings they inspire me and you tooo

[@rubyrose3558]

Thank you for making these videos, I’m just starting out and your videos have helped!!

[@OTXpl]

Calmness of this video and background music makes me fall a sleep (don't take it as a bad thing)

[@Wishes.dreamm_]

At the moment sksksk

[@yeshonestly4268]

Thnx. You make it so easy to understand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CreativelyUncorkedLIVE]

Good reminder of the basics. Thanks!

[@Sharon_L]

I was always taught that the complimentary colour to purple was yellow, as complimentary are colours opposite each other on the colour wheel. What colour theory are you using Katie? I know there are a few different ones these days.

[@KatieJobling]

+Sharon L officially it is, but in practice I feel the purple offsets the green better. It all depends on the colours you have. If it is more magenta/purple, green is the way to go. If it is blue/purple then yellow. Although there is a rule...they're are no strict rules 😂

[@Sharon_L]

Katie Jobling I'm looking forward to part two!😊💕

[@ApohMay]

I know these are a bit old, but there is the Munsell Color Wheel that uses purple and green as two additional primary colors instead of secondary. This causes the complementary pairs to be red and blue-green, yellow and blue-purple, green and red-purple, blue and orange, and purple and yellow-green. I guess it's not a very well known color theory, but I actually like the pairings as well. :) ETA: Also, when you mix complimentaries in the traditional system you don't get true neutral grays. Mixing red and green, for example, will result with a warm, brownish gray. But red and blue-green produce a truer, more neutral gray.

[@deniselee6189]

Knowing this would save me heaps of time mixing and matching clothes for work in the morning! Thanks!

[@tgoprashant]

Awesome video. . . .so helpful.

[@FlabbyAbi]

Bob Ross was told by some viewers that they just listen to him to help them sleep. Can say the same about you, you have a very relaxing voice Really loving your channel 💕 got acrylics here, cannot get enough of mixing paints atm

[@Johannarori]

Thank you! I'm usually not interested enough to watch a basic video like a color theory one all the way through but this was very informative and I actually learned quite a bit even though I've been painting (not too seriously cause I started young ish) for about 4 years! :D

[@lochtessmonsterxoxo]

Ooh I'll have to try that swatch practice idea!

[@zarahlimtan6319]

Great video, Katie! Especially the exercise part. You're a very good teacher! :)

[@ghadahalrabee]

Absolutely 💯 love this video, I looking for this amazing color tutorial 😍 ❤️ thanks a lot 🙏.

[@ixiarodriguez1959]

Very thankful! Love your art. Amazing Painting Tutorial

[@ShwetaSingh-un7ow]

Thankyou Katie for this video, really needed it :)

[@casuarinaharris1206]

I slowed down the video like you suggested and it made the speaking sound sooo funny 😂😂😂 this is such useful information. I always would have added black to tone down a colour, never would have thought of using the opposite colour for fear of getting brown. Very clever.

[@afrojack9061]

Hello ....your Ideas,and concepts are truly Amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your insight,and knowledge with All .....You Are Wonderful!!!

[@shraddhakataria4539]

[@fufumichelle5860]

Thank you SO much!!

[@BlueSky-ml8pg]

Hi, your video helps me to understand colours better. Noticed that you have many colours in tube too. How do you decide when to mix the colours and when to use the tube colours? Hope you can answer my question.. :)

[@-fixmyhairdo-1798]

Beautiful & Bright❤️💛💙

[@KatharineWardArt]

Such a helpful video! And love the yellow sweater :)

The sway excersize will help me so much to cease better paintings

Thanks Katie I love your videos, I did your ocean wave...

[@deetee-uk]

Such a great video...explains everything really well :-)

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

Apply it thick enough and color becomes the artwork. My 4 favorite books: - Icon by Frank Frazetta - Bridgerton by Julia Quinn - The Joy of Art by Carolyn Schram - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@JasmineTerriMakeup]

The swatch sheet is such a good idea!

[@Chesscagbai]

This is wonderful! Thank you Katie!

[@maggiimora7072]

Very helpful! Can you do a painting tutorial for a forest using acrylic? Please and thank you.

[@xenonxm]

Great tutorial! What types of colour did you use? If these are acrylics, how did you keep them off drying for so long? Thanks.

[@paulprice2007]

Lovely

[@topherwagner3032]

Omg it’s therapeutic listening and watching u haha

[@adienarthamarchia]

amazinggg!!!!

[@waynelast1685]

13:40 Why do you mix green and purple, which are two non-primary colors, when you added blue and orange previously which are primary and complimentary colors?

[@Meyra97512]

Is it just me, or does Katie's art look like her? Or her persona, maybe, idk.

[@natdvill]

Meyra I agree and I think it’s all about branding. She is recognizable 👩‍🎨

[@annibarry1338]

Hi Meyra, your comment reminds me of something we realised in our high school art class. Someone pointed out that everyone's paintings looked like the painter somehow, and we all agreed, it really seems to be true ☺️

[@prabas8190]

Anni Barry I agree so much. This is what I noticed when I saw many artists vdos on KZbin.

[@Dpkl88]

It’s interesting how you can just find this correlation between her personality and art

[@kaylynnsartjournal9883]

Katie you are the best and thank you for sharing:)

[@victoriawyckoff2625]
