I am self taught and have never had anyone really explain color to me. I've learned more from you and want to thank you for your videos.
You are so welcome!
I only use color schemes for at least 2 years now. I have not 2 or 3 schemes that I mostly use.
The best practical instruction I've seen on application of color theory to painting. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome Linda!
I'm trying to paint a dark brown bare river bank of silt in the shadow, in the foreground of my painting and can't get the right tint of the soil , so it looks real. How do you balance soil, fresh green basket willows and clear blue skies and water, in colour scheme? Thank you for your videos they are very well presented and explain the concept clearly.😊
With a color scheme you make the picture fit the scheme, so it you use a red violet, blue violet , yellow split comp color scheme (plus white) you make the color fit. Red, yellow and blue would work well.
Thank you, you have a great ability of sharing your knowledge so well.
Your welcome Jan
Ace examples. Very practical and valuable to see the thumbnail paintings
Thanks
Excellent discussion! Txz Jeanne
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou so much, clear and I finally understand much more... lightbulb moments... appreciate your sharing of knowledge...
You are very welcome
Seeing all these colors and combinations and the science behind it is so emotionally stirring. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
I agree with the benefits of working with color schemes, relationships on the palette or even the paper/canvas - using the Left/Right brain analogies, wheels, grids, swatches, etc. all feel abstracted, lifeless, without context or relationships to any integrated scene. Playing with relationships can provide rich mixes and surprises, that trying to measure, carry over, match, fails to achieve. Our eyes see far more relative contrasts and subtleties than photos capture, as well as seeing colors deep into shadows, which photos just turn black.
I agree, far more effective than charts
Thank you Phil. Even thou I work in pastel and have been to several workshops, I always seem to learn a lot from your videos. I especially appreciate the clear, concise way you explain composition and color theory. Extremely helpful.
Glad they're helpful Pat. Pastels are really similar to oils, except no mixing or cleaning brushes
Thanks!
thank you!
thanks much much much
Very helpful ❤ thank you so much for making it🙏
Awesome presentation, Phil. Especially like the paintings as example at the latter half, really illustrates how the colour schemes making the “feel“ different even with similar compositions and brushwork.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is one of the most helpful videos I've watched on colour. Schemes. I'll definitely give it a go.
Glad it was helpful
Phil thank you for clarifiying this subject so clearly plus giving us examples.
Your welcome Bettsy
Thank You! You're right! Color IS hard! I never really thought about it triatic color schemes. In fact, I never heard that term before!
Triadic, from the original word ‘triad’, a group or set of three.
Fantástico!!!
Thanks!
Would you mind sharing the pigment numbers/brand of the pains you used to make the colorwheel at 8:48.
🙏 very fine demonstration on using color in different ways that really helpfull to create with color in very interesting ways - personally I am very interessed in warm-cool vibrations on top of your exercise 🎵🎶
Thank you so much 😊
Great video!
Thanks
I just found you, enjoyed this video and will check out all of your videos and website! I just ordered a small color wheel to bring with me outside, I’m glad you said that you don’t just see it in your head. I am just beginning the plein air journey (just over a year into painting at all) so this is extremely helpful, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful Ellen!
Thank you Phil for your very informative video. I learned so much on color schemes that made sense and I understood more than any other explanations I read or seen before. Awesome!!!
Glad it was helpful Joyce!
WOW!! That helps so much and I am doing this exercise, so exciting. Thank you
You're so welcome!
. Made me remember an exhibition , it was Just small oil studies of a dog. rectangles on watercolor paper. Why huge paintings? 👍.
YES. this is very helpful.
Thanks.
Your welcome!
Thank you Phil for a very helpful tutorial. I am self taught and struggle with color. Your video has helped a great deal. Can’t wait to try these
Glad it was helpful!
This is a stunning approach.
Thank you!
Excellent lesson, Phil! I really need to take the time to do some of these. Summer is too busy, but it’s going to be at the top of my winter list. Thank you!
Your welcome Christine, I look forward to seeing them.
Ditto MukegonRose below! I so need to try this. Thank you profusely.
Have fun!
Just found this channel tonight when I was looking at broken colour. Your videos are so incredibly helpful so many things explained that I have been struggling with. Thank you!
Your welcome Ted
That was really helpful thank you
Glad it helped
Incredibly helpful. Thank you, Phil.
Thanks Andrew, glad their helpful.
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. It will help so much, and I am anxious to put into practice this last lesson.
thanks Zina, I'm glad the videos are helpful.
AWESOME Thank you so much
Your welcome Mitzi!
very helpful . learned a lot
Thanks Muhammad, glad they are helpful.
Phil this information is invaluable. I really enjoy your videos. In the part where you showed your own pallet, the yellows you use are the same as mine. Cad yellow light and yellow ochre. But your cad yellow light seems to have a “bias” towards orange where mine has a bias towards green. I don’t know if it is the camera or perhaps your pigment is that way? Could also be different brands. The brand I am using is Gamblin.
Thanks Mike, I haven't used Gamblin much but their cad yellow light is a bit cooler than Utrecht, which is what i use. Gamblin is very good paint but is different than Utrecht and Winsor Newton paint.
I’m just a bit lost on when to use the colour where. I just take liberty and and make sure to use one dominant colour, one secondary and use the last one minimally. Idk
Its easy to get lost in color. It helps me to focus more on the values
Great video thanks a lot, how do you achieve those "dragged" brushstrokes? a stiff old brush? thanks.
Thanks, the dragged look usually happens when I put wet paint over dry.
@@philstarke.artist thanks, love your videos, you got not only a talent as a painter but as a teacher as well.
Do you ever use a tetrad color combination?
Hi Roberta, I haven't, just triatic, split complimentary and analogous
Is it still a triadic color scheme if we create the secondaries and tertiaries with it?
Yes, dry brush is better in the lights
Color depends on the light..
👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another great lesson. I wish you were my neighbor, so I could pick your brain over the back yard fence.
Ha! Our grandkids are too loud
Is it still a triadic color scheme if we create the secondaries and tertiaries with it?
Yes, use the 3 triadic colors to mix everything you want. Its the idea of using the same 3 colors to mix everything.
