Hi Ken, I just watched this lesson. Amazing! Thank you so much. I have a few questions. 1. How can you determine the vale of a color just by looking at it? Its so difficult to me. 2. For the monochromatic exercises you recommend us to do, is easier to start with light or shadow? 3. If we have a painting as reference or photograph, can we add a monochromatic filter? Or is that cheating hahaha.

So eye-opening! I always thought the darker the color the higher the value- a paradigm shift indeed. Question, in the video you mentioned the cad yellow has about value 9. How do you inherently know what value the color straight out of the tube is? Unless it’s gray, it’s so hard for me to tell what value it is. Is it a skill we develop over time?

Stefanie

Wow! That's incredible and I am definitely taking this course

Soheila

Wow! Perfect . Amazing teacher.

Stefanie

I have read this on subject many times, bought a color wheel , etc. and have only just now understood after this lesson. Thank you!

L. Buhr

You have peeled back another layer of knowledge for me. Many thanks.

Steven Michael

Just watched this last night. What an incrredible lesson! ive never heard color explained so clearly and succinctly. Ive been learning from some great artists, but im not sure any of them can match your level of passion. Its contagious. You are quite possibly the best teacher ive ever seen. Keep up the good work!

Janet Helseth

Thank you!! This is the best color lecture I’ve ever had. I especially appreciate your illucidating chroma, which has always been hard for me. Janet

Jimmy Quinzon

amazing, thanks, the yellow looks naples adding gray

Jimmy Quinzon

nice, the grays are all great for skin tones, orange + blue + white I use mostly for the white part of the eyeballs

Jimmy Quinzon

I know your fave pairing is Burnt Sienna/Venetian and Viridian or Manganese Violet + Raw Sienna

Jimmy Quinzon

Can I also use Viridian Green to neutralize Cad Red Light + Yellow Ochre mix? thanks

Mayssam

Wow! Awesome lesson. Very very helpful and not boring at all

Charles Borkowski

This was excellent!!! Thank you so much!!! I find I have a hard time mixing colors and keeping my station clean. I tend to get paint everywhere and always cleaning or wiping up… I’m not a slob, honest!!!!! Is there a workflow or a process you use when you sit to paint? Thank you

Shelly England

Awesome presentation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Karah Sullivan

This is such a great explanation of hues, value ad chroma! I had made little flash cards last year mixing white with each to see the undertones of each hue. This video answered so may questions for me. I am so excited to start my next project. Thank you!

Hi Ken, Here you assign 1 to the darkest value and 10 to the lightest. Is this assignment of color as value specific to the Munsel color system? I've understood it to be the opposite. In watercolor, 1 is considered the white of the paper, and 10 is the darkest dark (black, a dark neutral, or a hue that reads dark). I had previously thought that 1= dark and 10 = light in photography. Now, I'm just confused! I ask because I teach color theory using watercolor and value as one component of color. Have I assigned the values incorrectly? Is one system of assignment correct the other not, or is one classical the other contemporary? or is either acceptable? Thank you!

Nadia

Hi Ken, is there any video here or materials list where you guide on what brushes to buy? I'm lost, there are so many.

Marissa Hilker

Hi, Ken!!! I am new to oil painting and am just over the moon to have found your lessons. Thank you SO MUCH for this high-energy class. I’m a color theory nerd and this was intensely informative. I especially want to thank you and Daniela for your ESL because having these lessons in English is amazing, and your explanations were perfect. Do you recommend keeping any Munsell color system charts handy for beginners? Or something like it to reference?

Carly Carn

Oh my gosh! My mind is going a thousand mph!!!! What a fantastic lesson! Thank you so much !
