This is literally the best course I've ever seen on Color Theory and color harmony. Excellent.
hehe. I haven't seen anything like that either :D That's why I did it! That's 15 years experience, testing, trying, exploring, failing... ect :) I am glad you enjoyed it!
Joanna Kustra yes please do make some more (paid) online classes. I can translate these concepts back into film / da Vinci resolve
I couldn't agree more with you 🤘🏻
Same brother, same!

My left ear learned a lot today.
hahahaha
lmao
HAHAHAAHAHA
Lol - I thought it was just me! Fantastic tutorial though @Joanna Kustra. She does have a note in the intro to search for the "stereo" version, but this was very effective. I'll listen in stereo the 2nd/3rd... time around ;)
sorry guys for the inconvenience ;/ I messed that up.
"I'm not a very technical person"... proceeds to give the most technical explanation of color theory the world's ever seen.
I am 50 years old. Never had the funds to go to art school. After years of trying to understand colors on my own to move from my black and gray drawings, I gave up, until today. Thank you so very much for this video. Thanks for the hard work you put into creating this for us. Today I have decided to give it a try again thanks to you. I never thought that a video targeted at photography would help me understand color the way you have helped me understand. Thank you a million times. Your photography work is amazing by the way.
That’s an amazing come back story. Your Muse is back!
Seriously is this thing free. This is legendary. All her life experience, this is lit. Who cares about audio. I don't give a damn. This topic this is sensational. Miracles happen and she made me understand a little even though I'm a dumb head.
Feels so weird being able to watch this for free!
Thanks Kees. I do have a link for donation in the description :)
Facts 💯
this is Pro-level training, Thank God for youtube and the utmost gratitude to the author for sharing this premium content.
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm going to watch this every morning until I can recite it back from heart. This is an unbelievably generous resource, and I echo other comments that it's the most organized and information-packed lesson on color theory and grading that I have ever seen. I literally choked up watching it as I feel like I've been given the keys to the palace. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Funny I thought the same haha
There was a TON of information. Now only is she a great teacher, she's also an equally awesome photographer.
Hey I had the same idea :-)
Whenever people judge you, remember that 252 people disliked and moaned about the sound on a flawless FREE tutorial on colour.
Finally! A video on colour grading that doesn't just say, "this is why you want teal and orange and here is how you do it".
Thank you!!
hahaha :D Glad it was helpful!
This just sent me 😂😂😭😭
Holy... this has tremendous density of good advice. Of course I heard about color wheels and color spaces before, but for the first time I understand why I should listen. And so much collateral advice, e. g. "don´t expose you eyes to mediocre color choices", which is basically "learn from the best" and resonates with my experience (for all kind of things). Thanks for sharing
This is the GOD level of presentations. Opened my eyes yesterday, watching it for a second time now.
Its nice to see that instinctively some of the things I was doing with colours, especially workflow in photoshop - it was almost the same! Time to step the game up.
THANK YOU! This was priceless. Best accidental find on UA-cam to date!
I’ve studied and taught color theory for decades. This is among the best delivery, content, and context I’ve experienced on the subject. Great job.
Glad it was helpful!
My left ear now knows everything about the color grading. Thank you for a wonderful explanation.
HAHAHAHAHAAA LMAO
I've recently purchased two courses on colour theory/grading and ironically, this free UA-cam video is by far the best...well done.
The photographer looks good, has a good temperament, can talk, has a good voice, and the photos taken are beautiful and advanced
My left ear loves this video
This was about 3 years of art school in roughly 120 minutes, absolutely fantastic content. Thank you so much
Hahah, Thank you so Much for you comment! I wouldn’t know as I’ve never went to any art school 😜
I felt the same
I don't know if it's just me, but I get the sense that you're not just a teacher or a professional who shares a few tips and keeps the rest to yourself. You seem more like a mother who generously imparts all her knowledge to her children without hesitation or selfishness. Sometimes when I see people like you, I wonder, "How have you managed to survive?" Because unfortunately, kind-hearted people like you can be taken advantage of by others. MANY THANKS IF YOU ARE STILL SURVIVE
This is the best free course on anything i have ever watched.

@@elmersbalm5219 I did this in the description months ago, but no- one bothers to read it :D
Thanks fo adding that. Did my Timestaps in the description were lacking something?
@@joannakustra Wow, I totally missed those haha. For some reason the chapter functionality didn't show up on your video so I was assuming there weren't timestamps. They were not lacking at all, thank you for this great video!
@@joannakustra yep. I go through the description only if mentioned in the video or I need to check the published date. Thanks for sharing your techniques. It was inspiring.
That was the best explanation of colour theory I've ever heard. I spent years at university and paid thousands of dollars to receive some muddled disjointed teaching only to find the best lesson ever offered for free on UA-cam. Thanks so much for all your effort in preparing this!
Hahaha! You’re welcome! Hopefully a good Karma will come back to me at some point for doing and sharing this for free 🙊🙈♥️
This is the! Most appropriate free video available in UA-cam so far in terms of colours. I watch it every now and then to memorise it. Quite in depth video about colour. You are very generous to share this with us. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
your video changed my entire perspective on color and color harmony. thank you.
It feels insane that we can watch this for free. Incredible webinar!
Thank you!!! I have been studying color theory for months and this is absolutely amazing. Your knowledge, examples, teaching- Amazing! Best Ive found!!
Phew, bit overwhelming watching this the first time. I have been doing photography casually for a couple years however haven’t really dived into theory at all. Every time you think you get descent at something, you find someone else that makes your knowledge look like a needle point, lol. Regardless, this is super well put together and thought out. Thank you for creating this.
Joanna Kustra is the Queen of color. Such a deep understanding. I am colorblind but I still get it.
I can't believe I'm getting all this valuable information for free!!!! And in such a beautiful presentation! Thank you so much!!!!
You are so welcome!
You are right colors are 100% personal. I love cold colors and always feel like it looks wrong when i see warm end yellow pictures.
The quality of this course is beyond perfect. You cover so much. A masterclass.
Best lecture I've seen on youtube on photograpy. Killed many myths and doubts I had about photogphy and editing. This is truly a valuable webinar. It talks about art and pshchology than the tecnicalities of photograpy, which many others are more obsessed with. I think this is one of the first principles one should have right before producing media or content.
Hate the ppl who complain about minor matters. Should be thankful for making this available.
This is unreal. Absolutely the BEST color guide I've ever seen or paid for online or in person. The Best.
I watched this entire video and did not even feel how that hour and 17 minutes passed..This is epic ..The most important is that now i know how much more i need to think..This was so much packed that it was more thennthe equivalent of 2 years watching other videos related to this topic..I am not a pro photographer ,it s just a late hobby and passion , i am a doctor and i felt myself like 25 years ago when we listened to the lectures of some famous proffessors in medicine..This was really very very powerful...I will watch this every week once for sure for several months for sure because i know the impact and the power it can give..I edited my photos by taste and intuition and spent hours to color grade one photo and could not understand why sometimes in 20 minutes everything looks superb and sometimes after hours and hours nothing works..Knowledge and science are very important things in photography and i feel it needs very serious study to achieve that and more i feel that s the easy part and then comes the hardest having your own style the feel and the art which is something you can never learn either you have it in your genes or not..Thank you for this fascinating information given in under 80 minutes..Instantly subscribed for sure..By the way i ve seen a series of one photo from the examples in a facebook group if not mistaken learn to light and i was instantly captivated cause i ve never seen so much powerful photos in that group before it felt the photos in my bones , that s how colors can impact our nervous system..Thank you again...
Wow, John thanks so much for your positive feedback, It means A LOT to me! And I am very glad you found this helpful. It's been about 15 years I've been thinking about this topic, and people constantly asking me "WHY I am choosing specific color sets" and me answering them - "because it feels right" wasn't good enough. And perhaps I found some rule which has always been in front of our eyes - painters are taught these things at school but apparently us photographers not. Anyway, Thank you! :)
Thank you very much for this seminar!! It was amazing!
One of the best webinars I’ve watched on this topic. Thank you! I really love your aesthetics in photography.
THANK YOU. I have been a photographer for over 30yrs and feel like a novice after watching your video. I feel like I won the lottery.
THANK YOU.
Wow, what a compliment! Thank you for such a lovely feedback!
I can't believe this is for free. I didn't get into film schools because every single one of them has been rejecting me over 3 years now. This course is as close as i will propably ever get to university.
Thank you so much for this.
I studied art for four years and I didn’t get the knowledge I get it from this lecture. Thanks Joanna
This workshop is just fantastic!! Thank you so much for letting us peak into your eyes and brains!!
I don't know how many times I'll have to rewatch to make sense of all of this. So informative! Nothing less than a paid course
thanks, I am very glad it was helpful ❤️🙏❤️ I did it totally pro-bono, so if you feel you benefited from my work and would like support me I am giving that option in the description :)
That was awesome! Hope you have more seminars in the future about your photoshop process, it was a lot of info to take in. Thanks so much!
Fantastic course! Thanks a lot Joanna
Fantastic seminar, Joanna. Cheers.
Thank you so much. This is something I have been searching for years.
Whoa... You just blew my mind with your principles and context, so far the best content I’ve seen in years here !
Thank you for the workshop. Very well explained!
Thank you Joanna. I've learned so much!!!
This is by far the best hour I have spent in a long time. I think I need to see this several times to comprehend it all.
Absolutely mindblowing. Thank you for putting this seminar together.
A gold mine of a video. Thank you.
This is absolute gold, enjoyed very second. Many things learned and others I knew in a superficial way but you went deeper and generated even more curiosity in me about photography. Thanks Joanna! Subbed😊
I absolutely love this video. I see now colors in a different way. You definitely have changed my life. I've been even dreaming about the color wheel. I am very very excited.
This is seriously the best video I have seen on color grading! Thank you so much!
I find myself watching this video over and over! You have done such a great job on this. I am grateful
Thanks for summarizing you knowledge so succinctly. Really appreciate that!
This was immensely helpful! Thank you Joanna.

I’ve never seen anything more useful as this video . Thanks ! I’d love to follow your course if you ever to make one 🌷
I feel blessed for discovering this tutorial, I haven't gotten enough of it. Thank you Joanna ❤
Joanna, Thank you for your insight. Wonderfully presented, clear, concise and to the point. I have been trying to get my head around colour harmonies for a while and this as helped so much.
This is a lot to digest. But this is definitely a gem for photographers who are trying to understand the science of colors like myself. Thank you so much!
This is amazing.... Excellent. Far out the best I have seen until now. Thank you so much!
I keep coming back to this every couple months - incredible work, thank you so much!
Thank you for your knowledge and insight. This helps understand what i have been needing to improve my photography and retouching.

thank you for your time and effort!!!
Thank you Joanna you’ve opened my eyes, literally!
Thank you so much for this fantastic tutorial!
This is the most in depth color knowledge I’ve ever seen!! Thank you Joanna for all of your wonderful insight and passion!!
thank you! a gold mine of knowledge
Un grand merci pour ce cours Joanna !
So glad I watched, this just took my knowledge to another level! Thank you Joanna for putting this together and sharing this with everyone.
My left ear really enjoyed this tutorial
This is the kind of video I need to relisten to once a month for a year. So much excellent information but balanced well between theory and application. I've been editing my own photos for 10 years and generally just move the sliders around until I get a pleasing look and often being frustrated when nothing seems to work. This video was like a light coming on in my head, and I feel I will be up half the night in Lightroom going back through old photos.
I really appreciate this video and all the hard work you put in this videos for us learners thank you very much .
Thanks for the great video. So much packed into it I think I'll need to watch it a dozen times to grasp the information in it. Amazing
By far the best video on color I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing!
Soo brilliant. Thank you so much!!
I love this video! It never too flatters to praises it! Thank you!
This is so good! Thank you Joanna!! ♥️
God bless you, Joanna. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and time. I've learned more about color in one hour then I have in the last 8 years. This is indeed the most professional, and comprehensive lesson on color grading and color theory. I will be watching it again a few more times. I will also be donating!
This content is amazing - I learned more in an hour than in months and years of self study. Well done and thank you so much for making it free on UA-cam
fantastic. thanks for sharing. thats what i was looking for for so long
I regularily come back to this video to remind me of the color scemes. Great course
Incredible video! Thank you so much!!
wow it's my first time watching a video like this! please post more! very helpful, I love it
The best seminar on this topic! thank you very much Joanna!!!!! your photos are so beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing this, absolutely brilliant!
This is so amazing, thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️
This was one of the most interesting contents I have seen in a while, I do hope you are planning to do more in the very near future! :-)
This might be the most useful photography video I watched in a long time, sure need to rewatch it multiple times when I’m more used to treating color in photos and getting better at it
What an absolute gem of a video. Learned a lot and will have to rewatch a couple of times.
Best class I have ever seen on color theory!
Amazing! I can’t wait to see what other content you create and post on UA-cam
Definitely changed my complete perspective of colors. What an incredible video, worth watching every single second. Thank you :)
Thank you very much, you are great. I loved you examples and how you explain everything. Have a great 2021!!!
