#CMY #colortheory #colorwheel - Розваги
I've learned more about colours in your 3 videos then I have in 30 years of life
😁😂😁 Super glad to hear that's useful 😉😊😉
Couldn't agree more, passed a color theory class years ago. Learned more from this video and truly understood it. I think Marco May have missed his calling, but so glad he did as now we all benefit from his awesomeness!
@@13Robzilla hahaha thanks man!!! This is really appreciated 😉
@@13Robzilla +1 million %

Awesome. A year of university colour theory in 12 minutes
😍 Too kind!!! But yeah the density of information in this one it's pretty high 😊
As a 3d guy, I learned this about 2 decades ago (along with all the other foundation stuff like sketching, life drawing, lighting, film theory, etc). I must say, however, you have an EXCELLENT grasp of the concepts and your method of explaining it is even better than the 'pros' in the industry (3d) that were trying to teach it to us! :)
..
Well done, sir! Subscribed and I think I'm going to just have to put these three Colour Theory vids on repeat as I practice my mini-painting skills (just getting back into it after about...huh...a 20 year hiatus...coincidence with my 3D schooling?...I think not! Pro Tip: DO NOT go to school for longer than 6 months! Just don't! Take a course or two, then practice that and incorporate into your own 'stuff/life'. After a year off...then maybe take another couple courses. But a full "3 year degree"? You're wasting your money 9/10 times).
Sooo good, no on;y for mini painters. Best video I’ve seen on color theory period.
Thank you sooooooooo much!!! 😍😁😍😁😍
It's amazing that I work in commercial printing and not until today did I consider that I should be using CMYK as my main reference for miniature painting instead of RGB and it makes heaps of sense. Art school and years of work in the field didn't put the pieces together like you did. Well explained and straightforward.
Between this and your oil painting videos it's changing the game for me completely.
😍😍😍
Excellent! But now I feel dumb when I look at my collection of paints! And now I know why I run into trouble trying to mix some of those. Better to stick with CMYK for mixing I see...
Love this channel nothing on youtube come close to the depth and understanding this channel provides.
Thank you soooooooo much!!! I don't have the words to tell how much this is appreciated 😊😉😊 Really thanks a million man!
I sat through a lecture on this subject at the exploratorum in san Francisco many years ago. This was a great refresher!
Dang I should have watched this waaaaay sooner. The mind blowing sounds I think are coming out of my head instead of Marco! Thanks Marco.
this video is totally mindblowing for a beginner painter as myself. great job and incredibly useful
Thanks a million man 😍!!! The theory seems super complicated but when you start playing with paints everything becomes really easy 😉😉😉
Owwwww, my head. I'm going to have to watch this again. And then retrain myself from 30 years of painting miniatures without understanding color theory. Bonus -- now so many of the things I found hard totally make sense.
Thank you, for all the mind blowing input about colortheory :)
I am watching miniature painting channels for quite a while now and I so to say just discovered yours (few months ago), but you are already my favourite creator. I have learned so much useful stuff, I am so thankful! Sadly, I cannot support you with money, yet. But you damn sure deserve everything you get!!!! Thank you so very much and keep up the good work!
Thank you sooooooo much 😍!!! Don't worry at all, watching the videos/sharing/a like or a comment are always the best kind of support 😉 This is really appreciated 😊
I can say the same. Man ive been painting for a year si ce Covid started... Im learning just by videos and yours are my fav by far. Please dont stop xd. Cheers from Chile.
An interesting idea that the color theory of light and the color theory of objects complete each other. Smart insight.
This series has been a total revelation, I've enjoyed every second of it. It's comfortably the best set of info on colour theory I've come across in the mini painting world. Thanks so much Marco!
You weren't lying, my mind is all over the room.
Never really understood mixing colors I just bought 100's of pre-mixed colors. This helped explain a lot.
I'll start a new series all about mixing very very soon 😉😁😉
Mind Blown! I love it!
😍😁😍😁😍
Not to disparage your other series, I love them all, but Color Theory is by far my favorite! Can't wait for the next one, my brain wants more!!!
Thanks a million buddy 😉😉😉! I was a bit reluctant at the beginning because this is a strange kind of content; it's the foundation of any kind of painting but it can be really complex and not really what miniature painters usually look for on UA-cam.
But I want to give you quality stuff and now I'm even more motivated seeing the response to these videos!!!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I think you'll find this vid will have some surprising staying power. People who may have skipped over this one, will return to it once they see it in practice in your future vids. Glad you overcame your doubts, we all benefit from it now!
@@jonathannmccormick2023 I was one of those people. Had skimmed past them before when looking at Marco's channel for more painting videos, but after binging those I realised I was probably missing something awesome. I was!
You are an amazing artist marco I love everything that i've learned from you
this is so eye-opening!
Well explained! Very very awesome video!
Thanks man!!!
Marco, you are an amazing youtuber and your videos are really valuable! I learned a lot about colour theory watching this series of yous so thank you!
😍 Thanks a million man, really from the heart!
Awesome video, as usual. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. Started a little journal to take notes lol.
Thanks a million 😍! Great idea! This stuff comes all from my notebook where I collected every bit of useful information I could find over the years; after a while you'll have a new copy of the same notebook 😉😉😉
Amazing! These three color theory videos have been the most useful content that I have ever watched. Thanks! I hope there will be more videos along these lines in the future
Thanks a million buddy! Oh yeah, this is just the foundation 😅 from here I plan to use this theory to solve mixing problems and difficult recipes like skin tones!
MarcoFrisoniNJM amazing, can’t wait!
This is the best painting how-to channel I've seen yet.
😍😍😍 Thanks a million man!!!
This is an amazing video Marco! Your explanations are so concise and expertly coupled with graphics and demonstration. You are doing your viewers such a great service with this sort of content.
Thank you sooooo much buddy 😍😁😍!!! Really, from the heart!!! You already made my day 😉😊😉
your videos are always a treat. This information is extremely valuable and well explained. I love your accent as well. I will rewatch this one a couple of times to let it sink in.
Thank you soooo much!!! For everything 😊😁😊 Don't worry, the theory in words is complicated but on the palette everything becomes easier 😉
This is amazing! I need to watch this video several times to fully absorb it all xD
Brilliant explanation.
This has me so pumped for my kimera paints to come in!!
😁😍😁😍😊
Amazing video!!
That.. just completely and utterly just blew my mind. I mean all three videos were awesome, but when you got to cymk I- Wow.. I need to sit down for a bit..
😁😁😁😁😁
Great video Marco :) love your channel
😁😊😁
Great video Marco. Gonna be super helpful moving forward.
😍😊😍
well that changes everything , think i'm gonna have to watch daily can't thank you enough.
😁 thanks to you buddy!
You blew my mind there!
😁😁😁😁😁 💥🎆💥🎆💥🎆💥
Your videos are concise, informative and contain great editing. As an extra comment, I have to say that your English vocabulary is undoubtably double that of the high school students that I teach. Keep up the good work dude, you are killing it! Liked and subscribed!
I work primarily with watercolor and this video is very helpful to explain the RGB & CMY debate occuring in a lot of watercolor channels right now.
My mind is officialy blown! Awesome vid! First thing I did after watching this video is watching it again ... And looking for the paint off course :)
😁😍😁 Thanks a million man!!!
Mind blown. Very good video.
Thanks a million man!!!
Thank you this was informative!
This was super useful! Now to start experimenting :)
Absolutely fantastic explanation, Marco! I didn't think I'd enjoy (or learn as much from) this series as I have your other "slapping paint on a model" vidoes - but I have. Bravo, amico! :)
😁😁😁 Thanks a million buddy!!! Super super appreciated 😉 😘
Again you blew my mind!
😁😊😁😊 Thanks man!!!
Watched again; liked again 👍🏻
Dude. Color theory has been secretly lying to me this whole time. Even complementary colors and shade toning were way off. Why did I never connect additive color theory was the problem with all my muddy color mixing. We need MOAR videos on this MOAR!
So good.
Another fantastic simple and informative video that is inspiring me to pickup a paint brush and paint. Thank you very mush for making these videos. Keep up the great work
😍😍😍 Thank you very very very much buddy!!!
Watching this awesome series for the second or third time. A great, complementary channel is Nirmal James, with 100+ 1-minute videos for mixing almost any color you can imagine. They don't paint miniatures, but color is color and the vids are very relaxing. 🙂
You are an absolute master!
😍😍😍 too kind 😍😍😍 Thanks a million 😊
That's why I like the german company schmincke (for canvas painting)
They call their magenta and cyan primary magenta and primary cyan. So you can't get it wrong. 😁👍🏼
Super Video as always. 😁
Totally totally agree!!! I have a bunch of Liquitex and Golden heavy body acrylics and it's awesome to use their real names having always a perfect match!!!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM how do you work with Liquitex Heavy? I've read everywhere it is very thick and not convenient for miniatures
@@ThomasGallinari They are really great on miniatures. Being thick you can use them in every possible form, from thick paste for extreme highlights or dilute them to a glaze
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM do you dilute it with their medium or just water? I've read the paint has a shiny finish, what do you think?
@@ThomasGallinari simple water; they are very stable and don't need any particular product or care. For the most part they tend to be a little satin but with a drop of Matt medium or matt varnish inside you can obtain a perfect matt finish
Love your videos always end up talking to everyone for the rest of the day about colours hahaha thanks and keep up the great work. P.D. your Gollum face on the thumbnail of the video is quite scary hahaha
😁😁😁 I love this flow of inspiration!!! 😂😂😂 When I took my picture it didn't seem so extreme but when I put it on Gollum it became instantly a super psycho face 😂😂😂
Great vid, very informative. The color orange comes from the fruit: orange, from the French word for that fruit, from the Italian, from the Arabic, from the Persian, from Sanskrit, from Dravidian root form which referred to the bitter orange.
I attempted my first OSL mini (mini number 5) because of your previous vid, its still a work in progress but very much enjoying it, much appreciated!
Nice!!! Keep me updated with some pictures 😁!!! Thanks a million to you 😉
@@kevinmcbride4006 I love art spam 😂😉😂😉!
Mi hai aperto un mondo con questo video, capisco sempre il 30% di quello che dici ma mi è bastato per capire perchè quando mischio i colori ottenevo cose diverse dalla teoria dei colori quella dei libri.
I learned about additive and subtractive colors in university, but never connected them to miniature painting. Now it all makes more sense and I can use my knowledge of physics to improve my mini painting! Thanks for "blowing my mind"...again :)
😁😁😁 it's really a pleasure!!! Thanks to you buddy 😉
As miniature painters we tend to see what we do as something different from "real painting" but in reality we are doing exactly the same of every other painter so we need the same kind of knowledge!!!
With this analogy, we are also doing as every other printer is doing :)
Hey man I just want to say thank you for the amazing content! I’ve just recently got back into the hobby with the aim of really stepping my painting up a level and this channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for! The choice of content and, more importantly, the information you deliver and the way you deliver it is precisely what I’ve been searching for!
I’m making my way through your vids from start to present day and can’t get enough! I notice you often say to feel free to ask questions and suggestions so if I might chance my arm at a possible topic suggestion..... how you decide your work flow! I often find myself having to repeat steps or accidentally ruining previous work because I’ve done things in the wrong order or something silly! I know it’s probably an obvious thing and a lot down to common sense but you really seem to have it down (you’ve mastered high quality speed painting) so any hints or pointers would be great!
Thanks for the great work!
Jamie, Belfast
That's the way it is!!
😉😉😉👍
Great stuff
😘😘😘
Thank You!
Thanks a million to you!!! And Happy new year 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊😘
Awesome, gonna have to watch this video about ten times though!
Thanks!!! 😂 Yeah this one is pretty dense
Why isn't this the first thing we learn before painting minis?? Great video!
2 interesting books on color, both by same author. Both are titled “Blue & Yellow Don’t Make Green” by Michael Wilcox. The 1st edition was released in late ‘80s and is a little over 100pgs. I’ve had our copy of this for years, uh make that multiple decades 🤙. The 1st edition is pretty easy to find. The 2nd edition is much larger page count and was released around 2002 or so. This 2nd edition can be much harder to find. He has a third book, which I think would be interesting to look through, it is generally a bit $$$ in good condition. It’s a color swatch book w something over 2000 2-color mixes. I’ve never seen a copy, so can’t speak first hand to it.
As always, YMMV. Just sharing. Nothing more. Nothing less. Cheers!
🤩 I'll check them immediately!!!
Good video
golden also has a primary magenta as well, in both heavy body and fluid line, considering picking them up myself
Golden also has a primary cyan and primary yellow.
thnx ..another great vid .:}
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ok so my mind is totally blown by this. So much so I’m going to have to watch this video again... wow... now I get...or maybe not....🤪... so definitely going to watch it again. Great video.... thanks Marco for actually making people get this 🙃.
😂😂😂 Thanks! Yeah there's a lot of stuff in here! On the palette everything is much much simpler but I love the technical/scientific side and it's useful to solve difficult mixing situations like creating skin tones and their shades (something I want to explore in the next future 😉)
The weekend officially starts NOW as a Marco vid is unleashed unto the world.....Now, I just need to survive 4 more hours at work and I can watch it :)
😂😍😂 I love to be synonymous of weekend!!!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM And soon we will have Marco-laus the bringer of happyness at Christmas time :) :) Can't wait for your video thumbnail for that one!!!!
Why do I always feel "dumb as dirt" everytime I watch one of your videos? Answer----I never put 2 and 2 together! I use Photoshop (as a hobby) practically every week; I always use CMYK over RGB as the results are always more vibrant than RGB...........This is why you are simply the best painter on YT.....You point out the technical stuff in a way new people understand and point out the bloody obvious to those who know a bit about colour but hadn't though of applying that knowledge to painting.
Once again, you have published a fabtastic video. Thanks a million Marco!!!!
@@innsmouthharbour 😂Can't wait to be Santa 😂 I'll be probably in a Santa costume for my niece this year and I can take a real picture.....😅
Thanks a million 😘! So you know for sure this stuff better than me!!!
As miniature painters we have been confined in a corner by companies with the primary need of selling games and a fast, simple painting method and this defined our mindset for too many years. We are finally starting to think to our hobby as a form of art and to make art you need the same knowledge of every other artist!!!
FACTS
I UNDERSTOOD THIS!! HOLY SHIT I UNDERSTAND IT NOW WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! 🤯🥳😃
Conosco già la teoria del colore, me l'hanno insegnata alle medie (incredibile eh? :D ) però il video me lo sono guardato lo stesso perché ti voglio bene! :)
E perché volevo vedere se nominavi il Blu di Manganese! Sempre super competente ;)
Grande Marcuzzo!
😂😁😂😁 Grazie mille 😉😉😉!
holy crap... 😨🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
You fuckin' rule, Marco.
Ok so 2 weeks ago blew £70 on acrylic inks to learn to mix and use, whilst totally avoiding the ones I needed to choose to be able to mix vibrant saturated colours....
I have a bunch of pretty colours that can be used straight from the bottle and basically 136 combinations to make muddy browns????
Why has no colour theory vid I've watched before even squeezed this understanding into my brain?
Even I grasped it when I saw it play out on the palette....
You're doing great work at my house Marco
😁😁😁😁😁
Awesome. I have learnt so much. Thankyou. Gratzi?
Marco? Blowing our minds?
Is that like chocolate that tastes good? Only all the time.
😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks a million buddy!
I have some Golden "Fluid Acrylics" that work great for minis. I may just have to pick up a bottle of CMY for custom mixing.
Nice! Golden Fluid and Superfluid are also very good for the airbrush! But in general I prefer (more for a budget/money reasoning) the heavy body version, because you can easily thin it down but you can't make paint thicker
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM I haven't used the Golden heavy body paint, but I have tried Liquitex Basics. I found them hard to work with once they were thin enough.
@@EricHonaker That's the point! It's always better to buy high density paints because you can have a wider range of potential consistencies and effects. For the same reason I don't buy paints "ready for the airbrush"
apparently the colour is named after the fruit, before the English knew of the fruit the colour was known as "geoluread" yellowy-red
Thank you very much for the fantastic lesson.
what the purpose of the dots in the color wheel ?.
Thanks! The dots simply marks classic academic/commercial colora, so you can buy a specific tube and know precisely where its tone is in the wheel 😊
Amazing video, as usual. I can't seem to find where you list the colors you use for yellow though. Found the list of cyan and magenta, but no yellow. Any tips on which yellows you look for?
Marco, I've seen some Imperial Fists videos where they base coat the model pink. The value sketch goes on top of that, then they come in with the yellow. The pink and the yellow make nice orange shades, while the value sketch yields a nice pure yellow. I'm painting Salamanders so I'm trying to figure out what a good base coat would be to give me a similar effect as the pink does for the yellow. Is an orange base coat -> value sketch -> green the process that I should experiment with?
Hey @MarcoFrisoniNJM
Quick question. What pigments do you suggest for yellow?
For Magenta you suggested:
Permanent Magenta
Quinacridone Red
Rose Lake
Permanent Rose
Alizarin Crimson
For Cyan you suggested:
Cerulean Blue
Manganese Blue
But you didnt suggest good pigments for yellow?
Great as always! I’ve been after the Kimera set for mixing my own paints an learn properly but whenever I have the cash they’re out of stock and when they restock I’m always out of cash (the sets last 24h-ish on their website!) Once I get myself a nice set of paints I’ll start mixing and experimenting.
Hahahaha I'm sorry for such a bad timing 😂!!! Obviously you can start doing these experiments with every kind of paint, Kimera are better and easier for this purpose, but you can mix everything with everything else!
MarcoFrisoniNJM trust me, when I try I create the muddiest ugliest muted colours ever 🙈 I blame it on the paints because they don’t get offended 😂
I have the same problem. Money, no stock/stock, no money 🤦♂️
@@briarstingwrf7284 😂😂😂 This is the worse kind of torture I can imagine!!! 😂😂😂
@@alvarogalanmadrid9244 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mind blown. I need to lie down 😫
😂😂😂😂 it's a lot of stuff to digest 😉
This was a genuine mind blower! Im no pro artist but I did art to A-level + have known full well for years that printers use cyan/magenta/yellow inks. But I was never taught about primaries & it never occurred to me.
Great stuff!
One question though - why would the Kimera set have magenta and yellow but not have cyan??
Thanks a million 😊😊😊 Super super super appreciated!
Kimera set has a very good phtalo blue that's good approximation of a dark cyan but for this video I wanted to show the use of the classic triad 😊
Hello Marco, here I don't have much choice than stick to Citadel and maybe Vallejo. Wich colours from those brands would be the closest to CMYK?
So if I went into an art store to buy some artist grade true color wheel acrylic for wargame miniature painting is it as simple as picking them up by the names you use here? Asking as a GW, Vallejo person who honestly has no clue and usually goes off the name, I'd much rather have a pot of cyan sat on my desk rather than a pot of 'magic blue'
Correct! I used the proper, true, universal names of the colors so you can enter every art store of the world and get exactly what you need form every possible brand or kind of medium (acrylics, oils, watercolor, gouache...) 😉
Hi Marco! Which one of the Kimera paints would you say is closest to Cyan?
Questa serie di video è fatta davvero bene. Non solo è un'utilissima sintesi sull'argomento, ma allarga la prospettiva di un pittore dalla miniatura alla storia dell'arte mondiale! BRAVO!!!
Una domanda: ART Fundamentals della 3D Total Publishing non è mai stato tradotto in italiano? Cromorama riesce ad essere esaustivo o consigli una doppia lettura?
Grazie! ;)
Grazie mille davvero davvero davvero di cuore!!! 😊
Fantastic video! thank you for giving back to the community. I have access to Vallejo paints. Which paints mentioned in the video are Vallejo? Or if they are not mentioned, which Vallejo paints can you recommend to buy for Cyan, magenta, and yellow? Thank you!
Thanks a million!!! It's really a pleasure to share 😉😁😊.
I used the proper, universal, official names of the paints so you can enter in every art store of the world and find always exactly the same tones. That's the best way to match the colors with the brand you prefer or have at home 😉. Sadly model companies use their original names on a huge range of paints that for the most part are a blend of pigments so it's difficult to give a conversion without trying them all 😅
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM thank you for the quick reply! I was not aware you gave the universal names. I will look into those. I see that you used heavy body acrylics, are those ok to use for miniature painting?
@@MrNayiro It's a pleasure 😉😊! Oh yeah they are awesome for mini painting! They don't have a lot of covering power so it's better to use them for the advanced stages of painting, but for all the rest they are great paints
Yes! There is was!
You did an absolutely brilliant job, so thank you!
Newbie question that I thought of when you mentioned Alizarin crimson:
When you as a pro painter choose your colours, how much, if any, attention do you put into lightfastness when you do display pieces? Is this even relevant at all in the mini world?
I suspect that historically in mini painting it has not been a factor when choosing paints and pigments, but I have no idea!
Thank you sooooo much 😘😘😘!
Yeah it's definitely something new for us; we are starting using artistic paints only now and we are still learning about pigments, their properties and their changes through time.
Miniature painters used to oil paints have usually a better knowledge and understanding of this!
@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Sounds like miniature painting as a hobby is moving into a very interesting new phase in general with lots of new nerd potential! :D
@@Finkeldinken oh yes, totally! As miniature painters we have been confined in a corner by companies with the primary need of selling games and a fast, simple painting method and this defined our mindset for too many years.
We are finally starting to think to miniature painting as a form of art and to make art you need the same knowledge of every other artist!!!
Csn beleave this set of 3 vids are mind breakers. Hey bro one question because I want ti practice what you say. For vallejo, ak, citadel what color it is cyan and magenta? Thanks and very very nice set of vids. Thanks for sharing!!!
Are you aware of the Mike Wilcox 6 colour model? His book "blue and yellow don't make green" is a detailed exposition based on real artist's pigments. It taught me as much about mixing paint as 8yrs at art school (part time) ;)
Interesting! I didn't know it, thank you very much for the hint 😊
Thank you for the info really nice to learn, but I have a question that maybe it is very common: is there an equivalent for cyan magenta and yellow on the citdel colors?
Thanks a million to you! I don't use Citadel paints so I can't really give you a precise conversion. Plus Citadel paints don't have pure single pigments so mixing with them is always a game of guessing
Few years ago I tried to get to miniature painting. Very quickly I got to the uncrossable point of basecoat-shade-edge highlight and I gave up. Now I want to paint minis again. Thanx. Best video in the subject I have ever seen, but (as I've got no artistic background) it brings even more questions. You just shown us the way how to mix traditional colours. Any chance you could show us how do you mix non-traditional colours, like flesh tones or shade without black?
Awesome 😁!!! I can't tell you how happy I am hearing that the spark of inspiration came back thanks to the videos 😊
Check my video about sketching and mixing colours; it's the natural/empirical continuation of this one and it can answer some of your questions 😉 ua-cam.com/video/pWojUQsVoKk/v-deo.html
You'll have a lot of fun with this one!
Mind blown. This sort of helps me with the issue I am having. I am painting Tau with Vallejo Model color Blue Green with bright orange. I need a tertiary color for small details like the lights. I've tried yellow and green but it doesn't look right. By this model, i should go with Magenta?
🤯👍🏽
Excellent video. Question: the list of cyan and magenta colors, are any of those Citadel Paints ? I ask because in my LGS they only sel Citadel Paints, so that's basically what I have at hand, and the names of them are not very descriptive... 'Ahriman Blue'... wthk? xD
PROTIP: f you have an empty bag of chips they have the cyan, magenta and yellow tones you need down by the barcode. take an empty bag in with you and try to compare what you need
This video is amazing!
I have a doubt, though, Marco.
Neither Kimera Kolors blue is a Cyan, correct? Phtalo Blue (green shade) is darker than a true cyan. So how would I get a super saturated and bright green? Just mixing phtalo blue (green) with cold yellow?
Cheers!!
