Being only a year into getting serious about art, using these kinds of videos to learn since my medical situation limits me from taking any classes, online or otherwise (financially online courses are not within reach), I have to thank you for putting out such wonderful teaching videos because I'm really learning a ton! Color theory I understand is the dreaded black hole (so to speak) I hear everyone groan about. But I know it's so vital to creating art that's palletable. It makes every bit of sense and I do have a color wheel so I think I will need a lot more of these basic videos to really make it sink in. Maybe I will make some diagrams with a sharpie and break out my oil pastels which have had zero use since buying them. I found them to be far too much like crayons, but I do love a lot of art that has come from them so I haven't given up on them yet. Following along to your video with you while making my own color swatches in the diagrams may really help it sink in. I know when I went to nursing school, if I wrote something down once or twice, it was really engrained in my memory. Your videos are such a huge help and you are a fantastic teacher. I may only be doing this for fun but I am taking it seriously and want to learn everything I can to get confident in my skills as an artist one day (hopefully soon since I was 46 when I started a year ago)! I can't thank you enough. 😃

More information than I've ever been taught. Very interesting, well presented. So many videos are rushed. However the time spent to fill in the color wheel and intensity diagrams in real time is very refreshing and allows time for the information to absorb. Thanks again.

I haven't learned the colour wheel since my school days for my junior cert (16years old ish) I don't know what that is in school terms in your part of the world. So thank you for the refresher. This was excellently explained in great detail. I will re watch and take notes in my art journal. Thank you so much 💚

Hi Matt, thank you for this video. I have followed a course for watercolour mixing, but what you teach in your video from the 13th minute on is new to me. I like that you showed us what you mean by using paintings by Van Gogh, one of my favourite painters of all time. I also like your calm voice!

I agree about the paintings. By using the paintings done by the same artist all of which are similar, is FAR more helpful that being shown art by different artists which is what we typically see in these teaching videos. They talk about how not using color theory you can "muddy up your colors when mixing", I feel by using a bunch of different artists it's easy to muddy up the examples making it hard to decifer what they're explaining. That was extremely helpful.

I found this video very helpful! I have a question however! In oil pastel, do you advise to modify value and intensity via white grey black? I was expecting it to work like paint and you use the complementary color to reach greys :) I'm still learning the medium but I was curious about it!

This video was fantastic, thank you! I’m just beginning to explore color theory, and your explanation was very clear and simple to understand, better than any other video I’ve seen. Is tone the same as intensity/saturation? Is it best to keep your color pallet in the same tone? Also, I was wondering if you know of a way to train your eye to identify the colors (orange, vs red-orange for example). I ask because I very often see a color differently than others. For example, I got my son a pair of stylish sneakers for Christmas. He and my husband saw them as grey, but to me they were clearly an olive green. It happens to me all the time, so I figure it must be my eyes and the way I perceive color. Any suggestions on how I can train my eye? Thank you!

Maybe try playing "hue matching" games. There are a lot of free ones on app stores and websites too so you don't have to download anything. If you want to go really intense, find something in your home that has an interesting color. Now grab some paints and try to mix them until you match the color you see.

"Saturation refers to how strong or weak a color is (high saturation being strong). Value refers to how light or dark a color is (light having a high value). Tones are created by adding gray to a color, making it duller than the original." (I got this from Google. I hope that helps. It helped me). I agree, maybe you're seeing more color in the world! That was an awesome answer! I'm new to this too. I have an uncle who is color blind. They actually make special glasses for people who have that problem. But that's not me saying you're experiencing that! Just made me think of it. I haven't tried the hue matching games but I will now. That seems like it could really train your brain. So thank you @StarlaDawne for suggesting that! I bet there are a lot of free games that can help teach color theory and make it fun. I am so opposed to computer games and wasting my day getting sucked into playing games for points that I never even thought to look into what might be helpful to my art journey being so new.
