Power In The Grays

Along side of color temperature I share another amazing tool I've discovered over the years... the uses of color relativity

I learned this by accident as a teenager, while painting a warm yellow scene. :) I kept trying to paint the cold blue shadows I saw and it didn't look right. Inadvertently, I got that blue mixed into my orange on the messy palette. I didn't realise I'd made grey until a smudge ended up on the canvas. And my mind was blown. It looked PERFECT. I suddenly realised I didn't want blue at all for those cold shadows, I wanted a cold yellow-grey, and ~20 years later it's still one of my favourite landscape paintings I've done. Thank you for this excellent video!

[@glitterglueblood]

fascinating perspective and experience, thanks for sharing!

[@MrRmmk1]

What's funny is one of my friends was frustrated because her kid would mix all the colors together and she was worried he wouldn't be good at making art. I told her no encourage that, that's exactly what I did as a kid and I feel it's what really helped me understand colors as a Painter. There's a lovely thing we do as kids and that's making a mess, testing and learning without fears of being wrong or making mistakes

[@matthewwilliams3827]

Awesome! ☺️

[@blenderguru]

That demonstration at 8:05 is mind blowing. Even though I know color relativity exists, it always surprises me. The fact that a gray can look purple or green by desaturating and just barely adjusting the hue is incredible☺

[@harshaeranda3321]

Donut guy!

[@cannotfigureoutaname]

So true, whenever I want to add a different color to a scene I always end up bringing in something that's way too saturated and far away from what I meant to add, also the way it's explained is truly eye-opening for who's new at this.

[@_babido]

Literally just discovered this a little while ago in my own experimentation. It's as if the grayer the color is, the less you need to shift the hue. Techniques like this is how you can achieve very dreamy and realer than real vibrant colors, without even making the colors super saturated.

[@LightingMentor]

Yes precisely!

[@elizabethpears307]

I’ve heard many say they don’t want to start with a white canvas. You finally gave the real reason - that it messes with whatever color you’re painting with. That helps do much, thank you.

[@lilith_inthesea]

This is so eye-opening! Knowing the theory is one thing, but seeing it happening in real time as you’re explaining it takes this lesson to another level. Your various real-life anecdotes are also super helpful. Thanks so much!

[@LightingMentor]

You are most welcome Lilith!! I'm glad you're finding this helpful

[@suzygirl1843]

@@LightingMentor So, I hope you review Netflix's Entergalactic artistic style. It's done in the vein of Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse.

[@SupperGammer]

This reminded me greatly of what my painting teacher told the class all the time. She compared us (Latvians) to the south-west of Europe (like Italy and Spain) and told us that we are lucky to learn painting here because there are so much gray tones. Instead of direct light and bright colours we have overcast days, dull streets, but she always ended with the fact that gray is the most colourful colour there is, gray is every colour. And the moral of that was that we can see more colours that artists in the west so we need to learn to use them. (she also didn't let us use black and when you mix your own black it becomes very colourful)

[@thomasi.4981]

That's a wonderful lesson! I wish I knew about this kind of thing sooner.

[@schimken]

Oh wow, a fellow latvian :D! I‘ve always found especially the cold seasons in Riga kind of gloomy, but that’s actually an interesting way to describe it.

[@Selkirkwater]

Took a class where we used only Paynes Gray. Again valuable lessons in finding your image. (watercolour)

[@SJQuirke]

Nice comment - thanks Yes - Grey is Great And this video is an eye-openner A while ago I realised that the beach I paint (often) is grey - all grey

[@capajensen5689]

This video is a game-changer -- this same concept can be used in other mediums too. I struggled a lot with color theory and color matching, especially in the past when I wouldn't take the time to plan out my color palette before starting. Using saturation, value, temperature, etc. to your advantage takes your pieces to entirely new levels. So as my mother-in-law tells me now that I'm nearing 40.... "Embrace those greys."

[@malo-magic-blue]

I totally agree! I paint with acrylics and they are very saturated and strong colors - most of the time that´s exactly what I want in my paintings. But I also love the subtlety of grays... Actually I like to combine both strategies in some of my paintings. Happy creating! :-D P.S.: Are you sharing your works on KZbin?

[@liyans1]

This is exactly why ‘the dress’ was perceived so differently by people. It was because with no context people had to assume the lighting conditions and therefore the colour of the dress as well. Great video, I found the concept very well explained and illustrated!

[@LightingMentor]

Yes completely!!

[@BingusFodder]

I thought I knew color pretty well. It turns out I did not, I just cranked out the most accurate atmospheric color study I’ve ever done. Thank you I didn’t even realize I wasn’t utilizing enough greys.

[@justinkinter8651]

My God, the value of the information in this video alone can not be overstated. I’m not a digital artist, but this is just such a great lesson that it really doesn’t matter in the slightest. These are the kinds of insider tips, tricks, and secrets that people pay thousands of dollars to learn in their journey to professionalism and you are here on KZbin freely teaching others, thank you sir. I’m going to hunt for a way to compensate you somehow, but at least for now I can subscribe and support your channel. Yes, I am aware I sound like a robot, no I am not a robot and I have not been paid to make these statements. Dammit, now it sounds even MORE like I’m a robot, oh well, just watch the video, you’ll see that I’m not lying lol

[@LightingMentor]

Ha! Thank you so much Justin!! I'm so glad this resonated with you. I will be starting a new thing in the new year to offer mentoring to artists if that is something you're interested in to take this even further

[@kamranjoon]

I wish they’d make watching your videos a pre-requisite for any You Tuber before allowing any posts: no cheesy humor, no repeat, no assuming your audience are pros or stupid, no pauses or blanks, no cluttered background, no poor grammar and actual usable real time instruction. Wow. I am in your debt for this. Well done sir. I sincerely hope you teach (literally) since you have the gift. Thank you.

[@Noammats]

Amazing. As a sound engineer, this was not only teaching me about visual art but reminded me that as a mixing engineer we need to remember that bass and treble are just ornaments and the bulk of the mix lives in the mid frequencies.

[@LightingMentor]

Oh that's very interesting indeed. I've never though about how this concept applies to sound. Fascinating!

[@jameelawahlgren]

This video nearly made me cry with relief. I have nearly a decade of painting experience and yet somehow really struggle with subtle hue shifts (I am a childrens book illustrator so I often work with very bright saturated palettes) and I was 100% that person using green and purple on the canvas instead of desaturated yellow. You explained this so simply and effectively, I am in your debt!

[@Koontah]

I had to scrape my jaw off the floor. WHOA!!! Never learned anything like this in college!! THANK YOU!!

[@LightingMentor]

:) Aww thank you Tami! I'm so very glad you found this helpful

[@WillMadeDat405]

In just three videos this guy has changed my whole perspective on art. I went from anxious to intrigued to start digital painting.😂

[@atlanteum]

As a guy who has drawn almost exclusively in pen & ink since he was a kid, and whose favorite artists [excluding Jack Kirby!] overwhelmingly work with muted, desaturated color palettes, I can't thank you enough for the lessons packed into this video. Once you get it - you've got it, like a light going off. [Of course, you still have to decide if it's a warm or a cool light!]

[@octoBadger]

Wow. Every video you create feels like being let in on a mind blowing secret. It's like magic to me.

[@LightingMentor]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you find this helpful. My goal for sure is to freely share all the things I've learned through the years that have been like magic to me. I'm glad you're enjoying it

[@marypartridge5154]

I looked at the painting by the pre Raephalites and the way they use colour is amazing. And they had no devices.

[@fasdamabuse4715]

Oh. My. God. 10 minutes after watching this video, I realized that gray in digital is kinda like an opposite color in traditional art!!! AMAZING Usually, in traditional art we add, for example, violet to yellow to make it more neutral / less saturated. In digital, we can do the same, by just using shades of grayness.... This is the main idea between understanding how digital and traditional arts works.

[@wtsh4796]

The title should be "how to select color on your digital divice"! Finally I find the Decode of the magic, that answered my confusion since I did digital painting!!!

[@JuanManuelTastzian]

This is amazing. Both the concept, the theory, how it holds up in practice, and how simple you explain it for everyone to understand. Concise and to the point. This video is gold. Thanks for sharing this! ❤

[@LightingMentor]

I'm super glad you liked this. I try my best to make very practical videos. I've seen far too many that just add confusion rather than actually helping, so I strive to make them apply-able

[@svardm]

I totally agree. This video is enlightening!🤩

[@Zukooooooooo]

This is mind blowing! So many color theory videos just barely scratch the surface, or dont go in depth about how you can actually use color temperature in a practical way. You can see the results so clearly here! Thank you so much!

[@crypticrhea2410]

I never understood color theory or anything like this until I found your videos and now I feel like a whole new world completely opened up for me. Thank you so much for teaching this. I have been struggling with making art and I've wanted to give up but this makes me inspired to keep doing it.

[@apokalipsff2687]

Yesterday I watched one of Marco Bucci’s lessons on ambient occlusion (ambient light, bounced light, occlusion shadow) and this video complemented it like a charm It really does make sense that the colours aren’t exactly what we think they are, because of the way light and colour work For example the trees, they are dessaturated and kind of a mix between orange and green, because the green trees are getting hit by the ambient light (which is orange) in this case, which makes them look warmer than the regular green we assign to plants but cooler than the usual sunset orange Our eyes aren’t tricking us, but our brains are, because most of our senses identify things based on how they look/feel in relation to another of the same nature (scale, texture, value, hue, pitch, object temperature, pressure, smell, etc)

[@LightingMentor]

Indeed! Yes, Marco's videos are amazing! He is actually a friend of mine and we worked together on some projects almost 15 years ago. Small world! Keep creating my friend!

[@jirhaelgallo6592]

Thank you so much for this!! I've looked at lots videos that teach color relativity but yours is what enlightened me the most. Thank you for doing what you do! I hope the best for you and your channel!

[@LightingMentor]

Aw thank you Jirhael! I'm so glad you enjoyed this

[@aquabluerose7734]

This is amazing, I've heard of this concept multiple times but this tutorial on what to DO about it is a game changer.

[@tinigart273]

I've seen a lot of videos like "top 10 tips for beginner artists" and have always wondered where are the videos with tips for pro artists? We need advice too! And here it is - thank you so much! What a beautiful way to put it, and there is something intricate about the subtleties of color perception that makes this knowledge so precious.

[@aureutraccoredge6227]

I think this is the first color relativity video I've seen that actually explains the mechanics of _how_ to do it, not just why it happens. Thank you so much, you're a great teacher!

[@girishyadav5919]

[@butterflyhairclips]

I knew what color relativity was but to see your examples and follow along with you makes all the more sense. Watching the "purple and green" part of the painting process actually made my jaw drop. Thank you so much for these videos!!!!

[@McCoy_Buck]

holy crap, it all makes sense now. what is incredible that you show is, even with all your knowledge and experience - you are still trying to figure out what colors your eyes see and replicate it. I always thought at one point, as an expert/ professional - you just know. thank you so much. I'm not color blind, but figured creatively I was

[@jackal1776]

Artist Thomas Kinkade used greys like this to make his lights pop all the time. Great technique.

[@DeanMarsh1962]

I watch a lot of KZbin on art, for years, and there has been only a few that have altered my view significantly; this is one of them. Brilliant, and thank you for sharing this, really, You didn’t have to, and it is very much appreciated. Best.

[@LightingMentor]

Thank you Dean! I’m so glad you found this helpful

[@mahiwagangpilipinas8976]

I've known about color relativity from books but seeing it here is really mind-blowing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, man. Would love to watch your next videos. I'll keep coming by.

[@AstroBoyBen]

:-) MIND BLOWING! I have seen this exact thing when studying reference paintings for my art, but did not understand what was going on. I was seeing a colour but my colour picker was telling me differently! This is a super powerful tool, thank you!

[@00WatName00]

@3:43 as a dental nurse who has to select color shades for the teeth, this reminded me of the same logic on why we have to select it in natural and artificial lighting. And how blue walls help “reset” our eyes, as so they said.

[@AlexKellyArtUK]

Yes! Also there is infinity variety in greys compared to primaries and secondaries or even tertiaries in terms of chroma and that means the potential for subtleties in relative colour harmony is also tremendous. It’s amazing how sensitive human perception is to the subtlest of colour relationships.

[@BlackOreoCookie]

I found you last week, and I just wanted to thank you so much! I sometimes don't paint for a while and get super rusty and insecure while painting, but your color study video really helped me to shift my mindset from painting "things" to painting "shapes", making it MUCH easier 😊

[@LightingMentor]

Yay! Yes this was a huge mindshift for me and I feel I really want to share it to others too. I'm so glad it helped you!!

[@c0sm1cb0y]

gray = value > color one advice for the beginners, try to train your eyes to see in values and not in colors and all of these things will start to make more sense to you, in the meantime you can open a grayscale copy of your document to see your values as you paint, (photoshop users go to the WINDOWS tab > Arrange > New window for "your piece name" then go to the VIEW tab > Proof setup > custom > dot gain 20%(this is the best option to work in gray scale in PS) also the command for switching between gray and colors(rgb) is ctrl + Y (you can edit it if you want to assign another shorcut to check your values) REMEMBER! ALWAYS CHECK YOUR VALUES, if your values are right, you can put any color you want and your painting still gonna looks good! sry for my english! VALUES > COLORS! 🧐

[@GuyFieri-cx4sz]

That technique where you desaturate and pull the color wheel towards the color you want is CRAZYYY!! Keep it up bro that was insane!!

[@user-tj1yc8ft8m]

I keep thinking "Josef Albers" while watching this. Excellent video.

[@RealityRisingArt]

I honestly think you've just revolutionised my art forever. Thank you so much for this!

[@bodawei425]

Very educative. I would find interesting to see the same process of color relativity applied to the making of an original painting (not trying to reproduce the same hues and values from an already existing painting). The rationale behind the choice of colors is be key for the further improvement of my artwork. Thanks again for this high quality video.

[@richswanderings1664]

Yes...please do not stop! I'm not a digital artist, but rather a painter. All this still applies! You've given me a new way to think about how to mix my colors. I definitely would have started with a purple and then try to desaturate it. Never would have thought to start with my yellow and desaturate that will moving it "toward" the purple!

[@TheKatydl]

It's been 2 years since I've had so much motivation to draw again! Thank you for your latest how to videos! Especially the color relativity is one that explains exactly what i have been struggling with without even knowing it. I'll be starting my color studies asap i already picked a few art pieces of your "amazing light" pin board and took a few pictures of props around te house!

[@LS-kg6my]

Thanks! This is awesome. I learned this in landscape watercolors. There is a whole world of grays that are created through complementary color mixing. That’s when I finally understood warm and cool grays, as well as the spectrum of gray “color.” Very helpful to have this demonstrated digitally!

[@vralmanuel]

Gray is where the magic happens. When I started to pick up painting and drawing, someone pointed to Zorn and Whistler and it opened my eyes to how much you can do with subtlety.

[@viaviaviavia]

"even this green is orange" this is wild

[@IndieUSA]

This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing this. Love the story of the red wall in your work on The Incredibles (one of the best animated films of all time), Ratatouille as well. Mind is officially blown with this concept of color!!

[@LightingMentor]

Yay! Glad you feel that way. I'm honored :)

[@janemorrow6672]

Another incredible video. This is really helping with my oil painting.

[@LightingMentor]

Yay! I'm so glad to hear it! Yes, often digital art methods do not translate to physical mediums, but I try to keep it apply-able to many mediums. I'm glad it's helping your oil painting too

[@luyistork5854]

This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen about color usage in art! You have a real gift in teaching and making your demonstrations really impactful. Thank you

[@bleachedout805]

I subbed within the first minute. The practical advise and the quick explanations with real life parallels are so masterful. Not only are you a great artist but a great teacher!

[@harveyspector6131]

You have a real gift for explaining a very complex subject. I've now shared this video all my artist friends. I am surprised, though, that so many artists are unaware of Joseph Albers work at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain and Yale that delves very deeply into this same territory. I highly recommend his book, Interaction of Color, published by Yale University Press.

[@LightingMentor]

Thank you Harvey! I am so glad it was helpful and I appreciate you sharing my video too! Yes, that is a great book indeed!

[@waymire01]

I paint using actual media not digital, but YT tossed this in my recommended videos. What you are describing is something artists have been doing for hundreds of years.. underpainting, using neutral grey palettes for mixing, use of "mother" colors (selecting one color as a base for mixing everything else on the canvas), and complementary blending (using the complement of a hue to desaturate). Once upon a time art students were expected to master not only color mixing but the representation of light, shadow and form with black and white first, then complementary duos, then various primary trios. Only then were they allowed a larger palette of colors. I feel like too many artists these days are missing the most basic foundational skills and understanding of the science of art in their rush to shortcut the process.

[@z0z111]

This right here. Learn to paint with actual paint. It's everything, the most rewarding.

[@davo-ju6er]

I think you mean actual physical medium or you could have just said 'real paint' buy hey no biggie . What i'm saying is I feel like these days too many people want to comment just for the sake of trying to puff their chest out a little , show how 'smart' they are or are just always salty about something. Once upon a time people hand wrote letters & sent them on ships as it was the only way to get a message to someone overseas . Now look at you with your techno electro typing machine with moving pictures i hope you mastered the fundamentals of computer programming , electrical engineering etc before slamming your dirty monkey paws down on the keyboard . If you haven't & just wanted to rush & shortcut the process ..... i get it , who's got time when the horse needs feeding & you gotta make candles so you can read this letter .

[@lunchlunchYT]

Thank God the master came down from the mountains to chastise us plebeians looking to learn the foundations for not having learned the foundations.

[@room2growrose623]

I remember my older sister, who is a fine artist, her first year in university, doing gradation panels for every color endless squares on giant boards of every gradation and shade. I said, “this is art school?” She said, “yes, bf we can actually paint we have to learn how to develop tones and colors. 🤯

[@JaredMau]

We should be thankful for the time of day this messias of tradition and class has taken out of his day to lecture us on the importance of not having fun in art. How dare us lunatics try and paint before having written a scientific thesis on at least 3 of the fundamentals required to even lift a brush. Or... dare I say it... using digital means to practically canibalise the masters that came before us who now surely must be turning in their graves, now that art is accessible to the common plebs and no longer requires you to be of higher blood to even afford the paint like in the good old days. ​@@lunchlunchYT

[@cravingforart]

THANKYOU so much............. you haven't just taught me color relativity, but have pulled me out of an Art block and mild depression of not progressing skill for about a year......I was so focused on shapes, forms and simple lights and shadows that I couldn't even figure out that my colors were what they appeared to be and not what they really were. Your teaching method and skill is beyond any kind of color theory. Really from the bottom of my heart Thanks. May you be blessed.✨✨

[@qlitchd]

I have kind of started with color relativity without knowing. I asked a person how they know how to choose the color that they would like to look cool on the warm spit and they said that they desaturated the base color. So I tried that too for the shading of an illustration. And the difference it creates and the way it all looks so much more harmonizing and belonging together as a whole picture is CRAZY. Thank you SO much for that video!
