Thank you for the video. I just finished watching it. I’m still trying to work out the purpose of color theory and it’s uses. Is color theory useful when painting from real life or from imagination, illustrations, abstract art etc? I still don’t understand the purpose or logic behind color theory and why color theory exists? Is it to help the artist decide which colors mesh together and or contrast well? I’m not sure I’m making any sense! 😊

It’s helpful for both! And I’m thankful for your comment because I noticed that there are a lot of videos about color theory but not so much about how to use it in real life examples so that’s definitely something I want to help explain! But to quickly answer your question, yes! It’s to help pick colors that go well together in pretty much every situation whether it’s a real life subject, an imaginary design or even color mixing. Excited to tackle this subject further!

So do the neutrals always come from the mixing of complimentary colors? And where do white and black fit in? Also, I have to friends who are always at odds whether the combination of brown and purple works or not. Judging by the color theory, it looks like they do go together!

Thank you so much for this lesson! Unfortunately my knowledge about complementary colors has been, “mixing complementary colors = brown(yuck!)”! Or, “use complementary colors to mute each other (a less vibrant version of the the color being used). I see I’ve been missing out! I am so happy to have found your channel! Your work is such a pleasure to look at and your approach to watercolor seems to be a collaborative effort in which you allow the colors to be the 🌟, and your encouragement of shapes and combinations of colors is the supporting role. I was, (as I am a beginner), approaching the art with the understanding that I am the 🌟, and the colors and shapes need me to push them where they are “supposed” go. Therefore, making me stressed and feeling kind of “less than” because my results were anything but creative! I hope this made sense. I felt I had to try and explain this so you can now take the credit (and be the 🌟) for opening my eyes and I can give the colors their rightful place and take the pressure off of me. I can't wait to sit down and create my chart of “supporting characters”! Thanks so much!! You are an inspiration!

Just great, this made sense of all the other color mixing information that left me hanging. Not sure how the concept of warm and cool colors fits in.
@helenwhs7 ай бұрын
The way I see it, warm and cool are ways to describe color tendencies that helps with mixing. For instance, to get a vibrant purple, you must use a reddish-blue (warm blue) and a bluish-red (cool red). You get muddy colours (or neutrals) when you have some component of all 3 primary colours in your mix. If you mix a warm blue with a yellowish red (warm red), you introduce some yellow to your blue-red mix and get a “muddy” purple.

Do you have a video teaching how to get the paint from tubes and into a pallet ? This is a very beginner kind of question. Do I put a lot in? Do I let it dry ? What do I need to know
@MiaStar4 ай бұрын
You can put like an m&m sized amount in your pan and let it dry as is, and then just use that. You can use a toothpick and manipulate the paint into covering the bottom and then let dry, and either use it that way or add another layer, and keep doing that til the pan is as full as you want. Pans don't have to be "filled to the top", it's all about how you prefer to pick up paint. I don't like pans that are pillow top filled, I like them less than totally filled, and I prefer there to be a "bowl" shape in the surface so my water drops stay where I put them to activate the colors and things don't run off into another pan or my palette when I stick my brush in. Some people like to fill their pans at a slant, and that's a cool way of letting you experiment with picking up paint:water ratios from the pan, and it's also nice for keeping your bristles smooth and not dulling the tips of your brushes (rounds, details, liners, etc). There are various videos all over showing how people like to fill their pans if you need visuals. Hope this helps!

Margot, I am just in love with your channel at the moment! I have sort of a nerdy question - lol. I notice you have these small cards that are like swatches of the colors you use and you label them (which is really smart) - and keep them in a cute little box. I want to do the same as I develop my own custom mixes and want to remember what I did to achieve a certain result. Do you make your own little cards by just cutting larger ones up, or is there a place/brand I can find that pre-makes these in bulk? I have searched high and low online for some like what you have and just can't come up with anything! Thank you!

I agree with a couple others, I’m not understanding how you developed the ‘supporting’ colors. I’d appreciate anyone’s feedback.
@_inky_6 ай бұрын
You can create supporting colors in multiple ways 1. You can water down the supporting color Example: if I'm working with orange as my main color, I'd let it be saturated, then I'd add more water to the blue color to make it paler 2. Mix the 2 complimentary color to get a shade that is somewhat in between This is actually the most important technique. Just add a little or more of the main color you've chosen to the supporting color to get cool shades 3. You can combine the above 2 tips to create an even versatile amount of supporting colors PS: If u are a beginner I'd recommend you try this theory with red and green color. Because green has amazing shades to it that can really vary depending upon how much water or paint is added to it. Have fun! :)

Red and blue are not primary colours. Blue can be created by other colours, red can be created with other colours. The primary colours are magenta, yellow, and cyan. Hence, they're used by printers. RGB is an outdated construct.

It happened to me while painting that I wanted to mix a dirty orange brown and violet is the complementary colour of yellow and consists of blue and red and mixed with yellow there would be a dirty green grey, I thought if I mixed magenta with yellow would result in a brownish orange, because magenta contains a bluish part, but that didn't happen, and I mixed red O_o. I thought this is not possible because red is one of the primary colours. I then mixed in more yellow and a bit of the turquoise, and then had my brownish orange.
@Pointebrush3 жыл бұрын
There’s a fair amount of experimentation and adjusting when you mix colors because they can deviate based on exactly what pigments you’re using. Definitely the more comfortable you become with the color wheel the easier it will be to make adjustments along the way if the colors are turning out slightly off from what you’re looking for 😉
