Great information.... one of the important take-aways is to practice the lesson! I always gain so much understanding from your Quick Tips! Thank you so much!!!
This concept is definitely going to help a lot in color composition of paintings and also make it bright & beautiful!.. You are always helping Dianne!.. Can't thank you enough for all the valuable tips! THANK YOU! 🙏
Dianne, thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge. I am trying to fill my gaps in the understanding of some art related principles. And as I found your channel yesterday I finally - finally finally finally - found the missing puzzle pieces to really get it. Thank you so much. I am sure it will influence the decisions I make on my further work a lot. Please kepp sharing. Your explanations are so enlightening. And the way you present it is so interesting. I am happy I found you :-) Corinna
Thank Dianne your lesson really helped me. Tomorrow I’m giving a presentation on this theme in my university, you helped me enormously clarifying this concept. Greetings from Chihuahua, Chihuahua Mexico 🇲🇽
Please do a follow up Dianne - I gained so much from your explanation and would love to see one about green, as you mentioned!! Off to do some exercises!! Thanks so much for sharing!
im still experimenting with all of this with my gum leaves.... it is very important to take advantage of hue and values etc so that my bunch of leaves dont just meld into one colour. This is such a clear teaching thank you.
One experience I can always depend on when I'm painting is mixing what looks like the perfect color on my mid tone grey palette only to have it look completely different on the painting when surrounded by other colors. It's a little frustrating sometimes, but endlessly fascinating.
Yep, Rich, it's amazing, isn't it. That very thing is why I always hold the back of the brush or palette knife or a test strip up next to where it will go to see if it's the color I need.
Thanks, I wasn’t familiar with the term and it’s a great explanation! Such a rich subject, and I would be interested to see how you would use it in painting a natural subject like a landscape.🙏 also I heard about Joseph Albers’ famous book about colour and how helpful the excercises are, but none of the libraries in my area has a copy 😱😭
Thank you for this Dianne! I already did some exercises with simultaneous contrast, but sometimes this confuses me... Not the theory itself, but the practice. For the most "potential" of enhancement of this blue, I should use an orange with similar intensity and value? Or not? I noticed you said intl the beginning that for a true study, I should use something about the same intensity, but I'm not sure that this is the reason. Thank you again for everything you teach us!
Carol, visually, the simultaneous contrast is more evident when the two colors are the same in intensity and in value. Simultaneous contrast, like all results of color juxtaposition, happens in degrees.
Trying to understand how Color Theory Contrast of Extension and Successive Contrast fits into this? Always feel its a little too intrusive to email but is that a preference for questions?
Simultaneous contrast of color refers to the simultaneous action between two colors whereas extension and successive contrast are not simultaneous but merely extensions of a different character of hue.
Sujanith, some folks do use it. I don't because I prefer the more simplified traditional wheel. I studied all the theories in grad school and found Munsell works in theory, but not necessarily with pigments. In my perception, identifying ever color according to the hue names - yellow, orange, red, violet, blue, green - and their mixtures along with how each one of them has a potential range of saturations and values, is the most workable system for painting.
As a practitioner of colour theory - you, Dianne, are an amazingly great teacher!
Thank you! 😊

Bravo, Debbie! Without the practice, you don't really get the benefit of the lesson.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You' re a great teacher! I love your lessons!
My pleasure, Ann. Thanks for watching.

Have fun with it, Alicia.
Thank you Dianne your quick tips are excellent and this one clearly shows exactly how important it is to try those experiments.
You are so welcome!

I'm delighted you found us. Welcome aboard.

Wonderful!
Thank you! I'm studying for my color theory exam and this helped me greatly!
I hope you did well on your exam!
Fantastic information and knowledge that you generously pass on. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Please do a follow up Dianne - I gained so much from your explanation and would love to see one about green, as you mentioned!! Off to do some exercises!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Joani, you can do that yourself with any of the colors. Just go through the process of thinking I use here.
Becoming the first commentator is a great honor. Thank you very much.
My pleasure! Give it a try.
Good one Dianne. With summer coming on strong, I can hardly wait for the possible green/red combination quick tip!
Meanwhile, you can try green/red yourself using my thinking process in this one.
I saw a video from 2016 and was like man I hope this channel still post and im glad to see it does.
Yep, Nathaniel. We've been doing these weekly since 2015.
im still experimenting with all of this with my gum leaves.... it is very important to take advantage of hue and values etc so that my bunch of leaves dont just meld into one colour. This is such a clear teaching thank you.
Wonderful! Enjoy the journey.
Excellent information! Thank you for your explanation, so very helpful!
You are so welcome!
Great succinct advice!
Thanks.

Thanks Dianne x
You bet!
Love this it's absolutely great.
Thanks!

Joseph Albers used color abstractly, Jo, but any color exercises are helpful. I recommend those that Richard Schmid shows in his book, Alla Prima II .
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction thanks, I’ll look it up🤗
There is an absolutely brilliant app based on Albers book too.

That was great. I’d love a tutorial on greens.
I have at least five tips relating to green. Check out Quick Tips 115, 158, 223, 318, and 335.
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I know youve done videos on Hot and cold in paintings but im still confused on how to see it in an image a portrait for example
I recommend you watch Marco Bucci's video found at ua-cam.com/video/kYtGh2xTAlg/v-deo.html
Kept thinking that using a camera in black and white would be helpful to match tones.
Probably not. It's the influence of the hues on one another rather than the values that causes the simultaneous contrast.
thank you.
My pleasure.
Dianne why isn't munsell color system with used much nowadays....how much do you use in your art
Sujanith, some folks do use it. I don't because I prefer the more simplified traditional wheel.
