THANK YOU! I have watched so many videos on color theory from so many different people it made my head hurt. You and Ashley breaking it down with actual colors actually helped me understand the schemes so much better.

Hi John,

Yes, with watercolor, the white of the paper is your “white”. By adding thinned applications of watercolor, you create lighter values of colors.

This class was very informative. I am learning watercolor and would love to watch any color theory videos that speak to that media. I know a lot of it is the same, but I am speaking more to the changing of value and intensity. Is it just the adding of water or additional pigment, as opposed to adding white, black, or grey?

On a side not, now I want to pick up some oil paints and fold the colors together. Quite therapeutic…lol

In reply to Lesley Evans. Hi Lesley, There isn't any music playing during the instructional part of the video. I'm not sure how the music is distracting to you.

Very informative video. BUT I do find the background music a little distracting AND unnecessary

As you were showing the Van Gogh paintings and got to the sunflowers, the whovian in me was coming out lol I was wishing that for fun it said for Amy above his name on the vase lol. I really want to say thank you so much for everything you do on here! color theory has always confused me and using colored pencils always intimidated me but your courses and live lessons have helped me so much in overcoming those draw backs, it still intimidates me some but I’m getting past it little by little. your showing me that when I slow down and take my time instead of rushing through that I will get a much better result and also to keep working at it as it won’t look nice right away. Everything both you and Ashley do here is so very much appreciated by so many so thank you so much!

In reply to Pandora Law. Hi Pandora, Primary colors (or the paints and other media available as the primary colors) come from naturally occurring pigments. They cannot be mixed by combining any other colors together.

If the primary colours can’t be made from other colours, how are they made?
