Terrific explanations with super useful visuals … my best way of learning! Thank you for this terrific series!! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

This was so useful Lou. Colours are so important and sometimes its hard to know what to use. Thanks for the perfect explanation.

[@missyb.623]

Back in the day when I did theater costumes.....the same principles applied. People would doubt me until they saw it on stage😊 Thanks for the great videos.

[@LouCollins]

@@missyb.623 there’s a lot to be said for ‘clashing’ colours!

[@minawhite]

I seem to always choose similar colours in different shades, mixing darks with lights, so this was very good to watch!

[@bettyareson6098]

This series is fabulous. Love it.

[@whichwitchhazel]

Fabulously explained Lou xx

[@juliecurtis9517]

This is great. I've never understood how to use the color wheel. Thank you 😊

[@ariesgirl3444]

Great colour lesson, so helpful. Thank you.

[@EmpressLindaRyan]

I am really enjoying this series!! I love the mixed media but scared I'll get it wrong or don't use the colour combos. Thanks Lou for this series xx

[@SightWordMovies]

I wanted to try art journaling so I watched some very high-level artists on YT, tried out some techniques and got overwhelmed (but underwhelmed with the results). Your tag series has made me feel like I can try again without the former chaos. At the very least I’ll end up with a collection of pretty cards 😂! Thank you so much for your generosity!

[@LouCollins]

@@SightWordMovies I’m so pleased 😁

[@suzannetunnicliffe2422]

I'll look into the colour wheel for reference.

[@sandrasimpey1712]

This is really useful, I totally need a colour wheel

[@sheenacannon8176]

Fabulous. Thank you, Lou. ❤X

[@neverwares]

Thank you so much for explaining the proportions that work well between the background and the contrasting colour! I think I end up using too much of the contrast colour a lot of the time. I’m gonna try dialing it back

[@deeannafreshwaters3282]

Fabulous!

[@mellyj3874]

Fantastic Video 🙂

[@sonnels57]

Thank you! Love this video so helpful❤

[@sussiemikkelsen1764]

Thank you very much 🙏🎨💫 it’s a great help.

[@mckellar.quinn.canada]

Always enjoy color lessons! Thank you.

[@orenbyrd]

Outstanding information. I can already tell that this playlist is going to be an excellent resource! Thanks Lou!

[@AlysonGold]

Great explanation on the colour wheel! I really love this series. Tyfs!

[@timeenuf4200]

Great demo on using a color wheel. Thank you.

[@janetingacollins6409]

You tags with contrast colors turned out great!

[@brittanywilliamson6527]

Future idea: I’d love to have something to stick to the back of the tags- that describes the technique! My handwriting is just ugly. Lol😂
