The color theory video that changes EVERYTHING

This video is about one of the core principles of color theory: Color Temperature. It's so important that it actually affects everything in the world around us. In this video I explain the Kelvin scale, color temperature and how it relates to art, specifically in creating depth in your paintings.
Hope you enjoy it!

ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Margot and I am a professional artist and graphic designer. My parents like to joke that I was born with a paintbrush in hand. I started my career after graduating from the renown Parsons School of Design in New York City and spent over 15 years creating and designing for many of the world's top Fortune 500 brands and companies. My painting journey started as a side project and a creative outlet for me to step away from the computer, go back to my "roots" in fine art and to hone my skills as an illustrator and painter. I started posting some of my work on instagram and the rest is history. My work is inspired by all the things that I am passionate about. Ballet, travel, graphic design, color and finding a world of beauty in all facets of everyday life. I hope you'll join me in this KZbin journey as I take you through all the tips, tricks and trade secrets I've gathered throughout the years. I hope I can teach you some of what I know, help you discover your creative voice and I hope you enjoy this Channel!

Entertainer, comic, educator, cinematographer …and artist? You are sooo talented!

[@k8marlowe]

The time and effort you must have spent making this video is impressive. Top notch quality content for free on KZbin? Seriously, I am impressed.

[@ilianatorres27it]

This was like Blues Clues for artists. So much effort being put into this, I love it!

[@ShariArts]

Great video! I would love a video on Value! It is so important. It has been awhile since art class, but I do remember my teacher, a masterful landscape painter, telling us over and over that "color gets all the glory while value does all the work."

[@Pointebrush]

Yes!! Your teacher was right. value is the foundation of the house. You can’t make it pretty if you don’t have good support! Added to the list!

[@windywednesday4166]

​@Pointebrush Yes... my son was just telling me about taking an image and putting it in black and white (on his tablet) then finding the values on a color wheel that he's turned to Black and White and using that to paint. You end up using all the wrong colors but it 'looks right'. ❤

[@marcusdekker]

value? i dont understand. What do you mean?

[@windywednesday4166]

@marcusdekker Value in art is the lightness or darkness of a color. In black and white, it is called a grayscale with white as the lightest and black as the darkest.

[@marcusdekker]

@@windywednesday4166 Much appreciated, ty

This video was such a fun way to learn about colour temperature, as a visual learner I really appreciate how you showed how different lighting looks in real life :D

[@Pointebrush]

I’m a visual learner too and I always have an easier time seeing it than hearing it! Glad I could help!

I mean, content yes content, but the whole *waves hand*... are you working in actual movies or ad shoots? This is more than just professional, this is ... genius (or maybe genie with all the popping in and out of scenes). 😮👏👏👏❤️ You've got yourself a new fan. 🤩

[@MyRedPoppy]

I think you are brilliant. Yes, I hit like on all your episodes because you are fun, imaginative, excellent teacher and of cause, the aim of the game, know how to impart and educate people so they get it. That is a skill a lot of people lack. They just talk but don't engage. Congratulations on your brilliant channel, looking forward to learning more. I purhased the books Petal and The secret life of colour. 🎉❤❤❤❤

Hullo Margot, I can see your flare for the dramatic is alive and well in this video, so much fun! I have taken Alain Picard's class on painting the painterly landscape and he shows how to create thumbnails getting us to block our values and simplify to get started! He is running his portrait course just now and I know everyone who is taking it is awash in value studies and creating a likeness and everything to create a painterly portrait! I did like your video and I hope more follow suit!

Great video! A practical real world example of the Kelvin scale in light is when you go to purchase LED bulbs. How many of us bought ones that turned out to be that harsh white blue when we wanted that natural soft warm light. Most LED bulb manufacturers include the Kelvin scale on the box to help you get the right desired light color.

i have been always wondering every color theory video i watched on youtube as a plain textbook feeling about values, warm and cool colors and this is the very first that someone actually make it sense the "theory" in colors. it makes a lot more sense about the theory part and not just like a list of subtopics about colors. this is also a a child friendly video that is entertaining and easy to understand. thank you sm for this!!!

[@bls924]

Margot, this was a great video on warm and cool colors. I love your videos! They are informative, different and refreshing! I would love to see a video on value, which is determined depending on the color we use, and confusing along with tone. This is what I struggle with, how to figure what value the color is and where it goes in the painting. Thanks!
