As a colorblind miniature painter, having someone like you demystify color theory and make me think I can actually use it, was awesome. Thank you for this.
there was some other channel recently, I think it was a 3D blender one that asked if any pro's are working in the industry that are colorblind. And tonnes of comments flooded in from pro's absolutely having no problem with it. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that out, thought I'd share it.
Thanks Dana! Half a lifetime ago I pretty much spent a couple of years in a dark room (that sounds depressing...). But a photographer darkroom (that sounds better). Back then everything was analogue, and that. Filtering colours in a darkroom for photography is solely based on CMYK, well CMY + exposure time. That's all been some handy knowledge when painting. Plus, magenta and cyan are a lot more fun in themselves than red and blue in my opinion :)
Awesome! Long time painter here and art prof. I taught painting, drawing, color theory, etc. for a couple of decades. Just a few extra tidbits to add here: 1) K = register color, pretty much always black, but blacks are typically a very neutral cool blue. Add black to your yellows for wonderful natural-appearing greens (for proof of concept). 2) CMYK is often referred to as Printer Primaries. You can go further as a painter by embracing a Painter Primaries of Magenta, Cad Red Light (a red-orange), Ult Blue (a blue violet), Thalo Blue (close to cyan), Cad Yellow med (close to true yellow with slight yellow orange tendencies) and Cad Yellow Lt (a yellow that moves toward yellow green). With these you will give you an even broader range of achievable colors. That's why in professional printing, there are usually 2 extra plates beyond CMYK. 3) Adding two true complementary colors will yield a neutral gray. When painting with them, you'll also desaturate the colors due to the subtractive model of color that real world pigments operate within (as opposed to RGB's additive world). Go down the Color Scheme rabbit hole next ;)
I’m not a miniature painter/player/collector, I’m a Gunpla builder. But I constantly revisit your videos , and was super pumped to see you upload this. You have been more helpful, insightful, just all around the best I’ve seen when it comes to painting.
A lot of channels talk about color theory and its importance, but few actually dive into explaining some basics of it. As someone without an art background wanting an accessible way to learn more about it, this video is awesome!
I love how comfortable you have become in your videos. It’s funny and honest. I love it. I learn from each of your videos and try to apply it to the next mini I paint. Always learning. So good.
I can't believe I have gone this long without this knowledge. Having worked in print design I have no excuse, but I just never thought about using these as primaries for painting, you have permanently changed the way I will chose colours. Thank you so much for making this video!
You inspired me to paint up my drukhari army in a cmyk inspired theme. I have the three subfactions accented with one of the gradients. And the armor is white marble-ish in look. And I love how much it taught me about color choice and blending and they look so fantastic and fun
Glad somebody is making tutorials for beginners bringing up the 'Light vs Pigment' situation and in a really easy to understand, super quick and digestible video
As someone who is getting back into miniature painting, after a loooooooong time away from it, I am amazed by how things ave developed. Also a little overwhelmed by where to start again, as all I have is rather fuzzy Citadel Miniatures brush from the 90's. This channel was one of the first ones I found and has been awesome in helping me get back to it. This video in particular has really inspired me by brining back that idea of experimentation and fun that this hobby provides. Thanks to Dana for having the imagination to come up with idea and taking the time and effort to make it. 🙏
So glad to see you back in my recommended feed, and really happy to see you're on the mend! God I love your painting style. It's always so vibrant and colourful. Such a unique vibe ♥️ Really insightful content, love how you approach painting. This was a great watch!
Thanks Dana, what you've highlighted is that for 'many' painters out there, if they want a colour they go and buy a bottle with that name on it. Many, I think, dismiss colour theory as complicated, but understanding how colour works is just like understanding light and shading. I'm a general maker [not a gamer] but I like all kinds of craft tutorials. Yours show a bold, self assured method that must be far more rewarding [as the results testify] than a 'painting-by-numbers' approach. Here's to being, outside the box, cheers.
Welcome back Dana, you inspired me to start experimenting with colours I actually like instead of just following the crowd. You're my favourite UA-cam mini painter.
I've watched a number of videos on color theory and paint mixing and I believe I understand the science of it all very well. But as a beginner painter trying to apply this all has been another matter entirely, Your video and your way of explaining/demonstrating the concepts however have greatly simplified it all for me to the point where I can now actually get the results I want with relative ease. Thank you Dana.
Mind blown! This is flat out the best treatment of color theory I've seen in a mini-painting video. I thought I understood both the traditional R-B-Y color wheel as well as the CMYK wheel, but watching you put primary-color glazes on a mini really coalesced what I thought I understood previously on a new, much more practical level. Thanks for that! I definitely want to point out how much your ogre paint jobs in this video remind me of classic Frank Frazetta fantasy paintings. Frazetta had an amazing grasp of color; I remember studying his skin tones closely back in college, and realizing that they had bits and patches of every color EXCEPT fleshtone throughout the shadows, midtones and highlights. When you back off from the canvas and look at the whole figure, it totally looks like skin, but when you zoom in, you see how many different colors he's blending and melding and contrasting to get that effect. Those ogres of yours really evoke that aspect of Frazetta's style. Keep healing, and when you're ready, please keep sharing your unique vision on miniature painting--I think your work has really influenced the stylistic direction of the hobby in a profound way. Take care, and thanks!
Welcome back Dana! I loved to see your enthusiasm and humour applied to such a technical topic. Loving your work and wishing all the best with your recovery.
I'm colorblind, and just about to take up painting minis (just got my airbrush in the mail). This advice is INVALUABLE! Thank you! Having a formula to work with is going to help so much.
I just wanted to say from someone with a background in art, you explained this all very well. Excellent video for people who are learning. Also great to see you back!
Glad to see you back. A friend of mine asked for a very brightly colored mini for her birthday. This is the opposite of my personal painting style. I have been giving your videos a rewatch for inspiration.
Just discovered this channel, probably the best painting channel have found so far in terms of actually being able to learn from it. Most are not as good as teachers, and certainly not as entertaining to watch at the same time!
I've never managed to mix a convincing red from magenta and yellow, just like I can't mix a vibrant green from yellow and blue. I think, if I had to, I'd choose six primaries: lemon yellow, orange yellow, red, magenta, blue and veridian. I'd get a wider gamut with better oranges, purples and greens with these. (I separated out cyan into blue and veridian because I've never found a cyan paint I like that behaves like I'd expect.) As far as I've seen, models painted purely CMYK tend to have That Look, like a stylised comic book. It's a good look, but whilst people say they can mix any colour they want, they tend not to. I rarely see people painting in earthy or desaturated colours when using this palette, they normally chose a different limited palette with earth tones. So I do wonder if limiting your palette to three primaries, any three primaries, is especially useful? So, I think I'd extend my six primaries above with some useful earth colours: red earth, ochre and umber.
I need that turtle bard in my life! I've been airbrushing with inks after some failed attempts at making washes and god they're fun. This is super useful, thanks Dana!
No way, i literally checked back today to see how you were doing and to watch old videos to help me with my day of the dead diorama. You then a few hours later post this -0-0-
Back in artschool, specifically for printing with everything from woodblock to modern offset, I learned the K in CMYK stands for Key, because it's usually the last step in that printing process. It locks it all together. More or less.
The best thing about the new edition of Kill Team is that I can try every cool new painting method I come across for the low, low cost of around $60. This is hands-down the most insightful video on colour theory I've seen so far. It's very informative and practical.
Glad to see you post this as I've just started to experiment with this method. After 20-something years of painting miniatures, it's really eye-opening. Glad you are feeling better! (And those rabbits and turtles from Broken Anvil are definitely going on my wish list -- possibly as Xmas presents for my wife and daughters.)
Whooaaa...that's an amazing concept that I had no idea about. I will have to save this video for future reference, for sure, and thank you, Miss Dana, for sharing this with us!
This video feels like you opened my brain up and gave it a good stir. I've been struggling with a mini featuring a lot of yellow and I almost gave up on it. Going to try some experiments and get this mini finished! Thank you for the inspiration.
I really dig broken anvil’s style. Thanks for this video, I still feel a bit confused when I imagine trying to apply this myself, but I found this video a really helpful explanation.
Glad to have you back! Your underpainting and glazing videos are two I keep revisiting when I want ideas for my Lizardmen. I have a feeling I will watch this a few more times when it comes time to tackle the frog skin of my Slann mages.
You've changed the way I paint just between your previous underpainting and glazing vids. This fantastic lesson compliments those vids well. Can't wait to experiment!
I got to say, I've been watching for over a year and this video has so much personality! Keep making such great content and I hope more people discover your channel!
So stoked to see you recovered AND to have a video which so clearly explains a color theory I have always had trouble understanding! You are the best, Dana!
Sick battle scar, Ms Howl. And the paint jobs are good too, I guess. (J/K, you do wonderful work. Love the painterly, impressionistic style on display here.)
This is an AMAZING video, Dana! Incredibly unique, and I appreciate the mixture of printing color theory and miniature painting since I’ve done both. 😁
I'm so glad you're back! And okay! Also, as someone who suffers from yellow blue colourblindness, this was a very interesting video! Helps a doofus like me understand colour theory!
Thank you for this very enjoyable video on this topic. Just some random additional thoughts: from a physiological standpoint there are four distinct types of light sensors in our eyes (S, M, L type cones for color, rods for intensity), so it makes sense that we need four types of pigments in subtractive color mixing to match that. This also puts the relevance of three colors in perspective: there is nothing magical about the number three here, and this way we by no means can objectively produce all types of coloured light imaginable in reflection. It's just that it's good enough for what our eyes can differentiate. On the other hand we only need three colors in additive color mixing (not four), because in that context we have the option to simply switch off the light to produce pure black, so it's much easier to achieve high contrast (between lightest light and darkest dark) than it is by absorption in subtractive mixing.
Yay! You're back, and still knocking it out of the park. Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown. I'd never heard of the CMYK spectrum broken down into gradients and ranges. This made it click in a way is never had before. I can't wait to start messing around with these concepts, and I also can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve. I hope you're feeling all better, but don't feel pressured to muscle through if you're not. You're important, and we would all rather wait a bit longer for our videos than we would have to worry that you're not feeling well.
This is so amazingly applicable for me right now, I just started classes for Graphic Arts Technology, and this is going to be so so so helpful. Thank you a million for putting this together, and I can't wait to try all this theory with my miniature painting.
Firstly, it's so awesome to see you're alive and well. Secondly, this video so excellently and succinctly explains something I've been trying to do in my own painting and advocate to others for over the last year. I've been trying to explain everything using by going around the colour wheel whereas using the 3 spectrums seems way more straightforward. Thanks so much for the video and I hope you get back to full strength soon.
Glad you are back! I always come here when I want to improve glaze methods and you did not disappoint (Glaze Goddess?... no Dana works). I had specifically updated my three favorite brand paints I keep with the 3 "proper" primaries so your video is incredibly well timed. Now I need to practice and hurt my head for a bit.
Thanks so much to Broken Anvil for sponsoring my vid!!!!! CHECK EM OUT!!!!

Chris and the rest of the BAM team are awesome and legitimately wonderful people.
Why do you choose the flourescent magenta over the normal magenta ink?
No color theory needed, just Pale Sands and Nuln oil. But I am glad you are back and you are on the mend!!!!
As a colorblind miniature painter, having someone like you demystify color theory and make me think I can actually use it, was awesome.
Thank you for this.
I am so glad to hear that!!! Glad it worked for ya!!!

Ditto
There is also colours that regular (non-colourblind) people still can't see, but some animals can. Imagine if we could all see what a bee does...

I love the organic looking colours on that ogre.
Edit: Removed question. Finally occurred to me to look in description for paints used.
A lot of channels talk about color theory and its importance, but few actually dive into explaining some basics of it. As someone without an art background wanting an accessible way to learn more about it, this video is awesome!
This is a mindblowing video, I feel like I'm in the matrix and you've just shown us the code.
That's exactly how I felt when someone explained CMYK to me!!! Glad I could pass on the gift!
Cyan and Magenta pills

arrived for the cmyK eye thumbnail. and stayed for the major color theory paradigm shift to my technique. you are a master.
This video is great, and super helpful!
Just discovered this channel, probably the best painting channel have found so far in terms of actually being able to learn from it. Most are not as good as teachers, and certainly not as entertaining to watch at the same time!
Learnt a ton on this one. It's one thing to know the theory in abstract, another to see and hear about it being used for real.
Love that you're back! I was looking for a great way to shift color my usual color pallet for some Feywild miniatures and this fits perfectly!
Thanks so much for this video Dana! I'm colorblind and have always struggled with the color wheel but while watching this everything just clicked.
I've never managed to mix a convincing red from magenta and yellow, just like I can't mix a vibrant green from yellow and blue.

the book of his posters is totally worth picking up. beautiful stuff.
Thanks Jeremy!!! What a flattering comparison!!!!

So glad that you're recovering and are back to making videos!
Whoa, I feel like medieval Europe did when it reached the Enlightenment era
Holy cow, Dan Bull watches Dana Howl?! AWESOME!
Thank you 😊
I'm happy to see you back on youtube Dana :) Thank you for sharing your insight!
Welcome back, Dana. Glad to hear you are healing up.
I'm a pro painter and fan of yours since day 1. This episode has been such a good trip. Thank you Dana. So glad to see you healed
All of your videos have been great...but this one...mind blown!!!! Loved every second of it!!!!
Wow! I feel like this is one video that every painter should see!
Glad to have you back! Your underpainting and glazing videos are two I keep revisiting when I want ideas for my Lizardmen. I have a feeling I will watch this a few more times when it comes time to tackle the frog skin of my Slann mages.
Glad to see you back and with a great video to boot. Who would have thought the K stands for Pale Sands...
dana I been doin this fer 40+ years, but youre my go-to for advanced ideas :)
Great to see you again Dana!
thank you! happy to be back!
I'm glad you had to check your notes too. This confused the heck out of me the first time I tried to understand it.
You've changed the way I paint just between your previous underpainting and glazing vids. This fantastic lesson compliments those vids well. Can't wait to experiment!
Best ever explanation of this color concept and how it applies to miniatures. Thank you!

So good to see you back, Dana.
Thank you for this very enjoyable video on this topic. Just some random additional thoughts: from a physiological standpoint there are four distinct types of light sensors in our eyes (S, M, L type cones for color, rods for intensity), so it makes sense that we need four types of pigments in subtractive color mixing to match that. This also puts the relevance of three colors in perspective: there is nothing magical about the number three here, and this way we by no means can objectively produce all types of coloured light imaginable in reflection. It's just that it's good enough for what our eyes can differentiate. On the other hand we only need three colors in additive color mixing (not four), because in that context we have the option to simply switch off the light to produce pure black, so it's much easier to achieve high contrast (between lightest light and darkest dark) than it is by absorption in subtractive mixing.

so glad you're back! hope you're healed/healing well
The most mind blowing fact about magenta is that it isn’t a real color (if you define real color as having a wavelength)
Yay! You're back, and still knocking it out of the park. Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown. I'd never heard of the CMYK spectrum broken down into gradients and ranges. This made it click in a way is never had before. I can't wait to start messing around with these concepts, and I also can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve.

"Artiste", perfect. Welcome back!
Great video Dana. I’m glad your back and I hope your hand feels better.
Sorry about your injury!
Thank you for giving us another way of looking at color theory/mixing! This was indeed helpful... :)
I feel like I’m late to the party on this, but it feels game changing. Thanks Dana!
fabulous video and welcome back!!!
THank you Bolter!
Glad you're back Dana!

She's back and better than ever. Happy to see your doing well.
I'm glad that you are feeling well enough to make videos again. this was a great explanation of CMYK and it makes sense now. thank you!
Happy to help! Yep I'm fully healed now!
Good to see you again, Dana! We missed you!!
So glad you're back and mending up!!
So glad for your speedy recovery !!!!!
Glad you're back and I learned so much from this video! Thanks for all of the great content!
