Understanding Colour Mixing - Revealed some of the Colour Schemes of the Great Painters

If you paint you need to know about colour and colour relationships. I'll explain everything in this video. I start by explaining how to use the 12 colour, colour wheel. I start from the basics and explain the 3 primary colours, red, yellow and blue, the 3 secondary colours green orange and purple. And the fact that all other colours are called tertiary colours.
I also discuss a variety of different colour schemes and how they can be applied to your painting. I explain the following colour schemes: complementary colour schemes, split complementary colour schemes, analogous colour schemes and near complementary colour schemes.
I show examples of great paintings, by artists such as Van Gogh, Claude Monet and Edvard Munch and explain the colour schemes they used and show how you might create the schemes yourself.
I also explained how to mix the colour schemes mentioned and particularly how to mix greys by mixing complementary colours together on your palette.
This art tutorial is aimed at beginners who are learning about colour and colour mixing. It is also aimed at people who wish to become an artist, but are unsure how use colour schemes to create different moods in their own painting.

Thanks , very informative. As a budding artiste I would like to know how one can reproduce the colours of a subject, be it a landscape , or any thing that I decide to paint. Best wishes

[@PaulPriestleyart]

Glad you like the video. You have to understand what colour is produced when you mix two colours together.Varying the amount of each colour will change the outcome. I would suggest taking one colour, and on a large sheet of paper, mix it with each of your other colours in turn. See what colour is produced. Do this with all your colours. You should end up with a grid of a vast amount of colours which you can refer to. Make sure you label each combination so you don't forget which colours you used. Cheers Paul

Very interesting Paul. I wonder certain professional painter chooses colours of their own choice on their painting and character to differciate the feelings of the painting. I hope u understand what I mean. Tq

[@PaulPriestleyart]

I think you are right artists do prefer certain colours, it helps to define their style. Cheers

Can a person learn how to draw well even if he never tried drawing before?

Of course, but it depends how determined you are. Cheers Paul

[@lizaalbalady8536]

may you please add the arabic language in the captions

[@PaulPriestleyart]

I don't use a script for my videos, I simply just commentate on the drawings. I'll have to look into other ways of producing a script and therefore captions. KZbin does have a subtitles button on videos(bottom right of screen) which should translate my voice into Arabic I believe. Cheers Paul

[@fatuushartz4433]

Please help me i am arts, i waant like you to success ..please coment her to your emil..

Best thing to do is to keep drawing and painting. Look around you and draw what you see. Show people you work. Just keep working and success will come eventually.
