At minute 7:57 I mention the painting was by Sargent. It's actually a piece by William Bouguereau. My brain must have slipped up as I was researching both artists at that time in preparation for my video Master's Process Part 3 (which features both). At some point I may re-release this video with the correction.mixed

You have an innate skill of being able to explain abstract and complicated concepts in a way that the lay person can understand. You’re the best. Thank you. This video is a keeper.

Light is the Mother and Colors are her children. Wonderful presentation, thank you!

thank you so much for returning to KZfaq! Your voicing is as tranquil as these masterpieces, and explained the color strategies so clearly.

Thank you for posting: I always look forward to you excellent videos. You make it look easy, but you don't fool those who have tried posting a "decent" video. I was fascinated on how you explained such complicated theory so we can understand, from physics to the development of the painting wheel, and how to analyze color schemas. It will take me some time and several views of your video, to fully understand this concept. Keep posting videos, please: you make MANY of us happy to find high quality content in KZfaq!

The knowledge and research that it takes to put something like this together is amazing.

I am a photographer, portrait specifically and my main inspiration for my work is both cinema and paintings. This channel is absolutely a joy both to watch and listen to. Thank you so very much.

Thank you, please keep it up❤️ you are helping me alot because I live in Lebanon where I can't get too much Art education plus we are living in a crisis now that going to an art teacher has become a challenge so you are now my art teacher, i depend on you so keep posting more, thank you 😍

Beautiful, lovely and your voice is a work of art as well....Full of colors❤

What a total BUMMER. Thomas Dewing? Really? You just had to show him. First time for me. Two big discoveries from the video: 1) I really love Thomas Dewing paintings, even though I'd never seen any before watching your video, and 2) A few years ago, The Brooklyn Museum showed a bunch of his paintings-- about a mile from where I live. Because of you, now I know what I missed. On the other hand, the whole video is not just fascinating for a neophyte like me, but it's beautiful. The paintings of course, are wonderful. Your descriptions are graceful and interesting. And the music is gorgeous. Thank you. Totally looking forward to watching more.

In England, we say, Richard Of York, Gave Battle In Vain!

Wonderful video, great job! Thanks!

Your classes in udemy have helped me immensely. Though painting watercolors for the past 10+ years. It was always unstructured and confusing. After taking the class, now I pre decide whether it would be allaprima or sectional etc. that way able to plan ahead. Must say the outcome is much better and enjoyable. this video is another insight to work on. Thanks much!

A wonderful video, thank you! Looking forward to seeing more!

What a fantastic video! There is so much good information packed in here. I love the selection of paintings used in your examples.

So happy I found this channel. Thank you.

Another absolutely fantastic video, thank you so much

I will be your roadie. Jill Poyerd fan for life. Getting my tattoo soon. Much love

Your videos are wonderful. I am a natural artist, discovering a talent I never knew I had until well into adulthood, so, with no formal training. I'm trying to understand 'what' and 'how' I do my work... Your videos are so soothing, detailed, wonderfully explanatory and are helping me to unravel myself. Thank You. 😌✨✨✨✨🌟

Your soft narration is equally enchanting!

Another lovely video from you. Thanks!

Beautifully done! Thank you!

This was gorgeous! Not an artist myself, but I love art and have a keen eye for it. This made my understand why I like certain pieces compared to others. I will use this technique when looking at art. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Flawless presentation. Thanks.🙏👍

I noticed that at 7:57 minutes. I am a huge fan of Bouguereau. Great video. Thanks for sharing it with us.

What a good explanation of colour use. Really instructive.

I love your channel so much! Thanks for everything!

Thank you so much for making this video! As a monochromatic (mostly black & white) artist who is venturing into color, this has been very insightful!

Thank you for your wonderful, peaceful videos. Excellent ! Happy new year🎋

I am a colorist that uses color differently than most and I teach it very differently. What I really appreciate is your break down. When I first work with artists I eliminate black, white, and all earth tones like umbers, ochres, and siennas. Only high key colors. Under paintings & drawings are done with dioxide purple or violets because they can be pushed to be cool or warm. White is usually brought back in when there is an understanding of the value in the colors they have. Tertiary colors can create brown tones without getting muddy. Also I do believe in arbitrary color. Your perspective is fresh for me and yet somehow so familiar since that is the way I learned to paint. Your videos are lovely.

So happy to have found your channel! Thank you for the invaluable information.

Love your expertise and your beautiful voice.

That was easy and great! Thank you!!

I love your videos so much, I learn a ton at every one of them! Thank you for making theses, they really bright my day!

Thank you for this really helpful & interesting video.

This is a GREAT video on COLOR. Thank you Jill, its just AMAZING!!

Excellent, as always

I’ve taken your classes before and they were excellent. I will be taking this one for sure. Thank you Jill.

Interesting and insightful analysis thanks

I couldn’t appreciate your videos more. They are so lovely. I watch them over and over. Thank you for providing such rich art education and expanding my appreciation as a result of your insightful explanations of masterful works of art. I’ve also purchased some of your classes on Udemy and finished the oil painting process one recently. Working my way through your brushstrokes course, and the color course, I am greatly blessed by your teaching style, and am learning a lot as a beginner.

I love listening to you Jill. You have quite a mellifluous voice.

Thank you so much for explaining the color choices the artist were making. That has always confused me. Thank you again.

Outstanding.

Interessantíssimo!!

Addicted to this channel

Thank you. I will stop feeling inadequate for using only one color.

Fantástico. Te quedó muy bien esta presentación. Felicitaciones!

ur voice is so soothing!! love the video!

Very well presented and so helpful. 15th-17th c. artists learned color directly from Nature, writing about "Color Harmonies" and "Color Formulas" in their manuscripts which can be observed consistently in their paintings. The earliest-known color wheel specifically for artists was found in a watercolor publication by Claude Boutet: Traité de la peinture en mignature (The Hague, 1708). Jill, you explain so well how simple color can be, that is very enlightening!

Your videos are outstanding for both content and your voice and your delivery.

Very well explained!

That was awesome! I use at least 7 colors known as septic on the chart.

As someone to went to university to become a research biologist, I’d only had a single Arts class requirement. My senior year & the only one available was a 400 level Baroque & Rococo Art History. I remember thinking to myself, “How hard could this be compared to all my science courses & my research? Well I found out just how hard it was, w/ zero background 😂. The wonderful art historian who taught the course, took pity on me, & allowed me to do some reports on different artists to bring my grade up, bc I was useless on the slideshow exams. The amount of knowledge that man had in his head about art, & how it relates to the events of that time; what happening socially, historically, & culturally during specific periods, was encyclopedic. Humbled me in a very necessary way. Now I’m retired from research, & have begun to paint landscapes in oils. I’ve invested an enormous amount of tim, learning online, & from an artist I take a zoom class from. Still, I often feel like I’m missing some important pieces of knowledge when it comes to oil painting landscapes, & I want to be a better artist. Your mini art instruction classes are so good! I really like the original Hudson River School artists (where I live actually), but am particularly drawn to the Tonalists. Might you consider doing a piece on the Hudson Valley School artists such as Beirstadt & the like? Or American Tonalism perhaps?

so nice.

Superb!

Great video

Thank u so much for uploading new videos, i really looking forward to your contents, it helps me a lot

Thank you for the powerful video. I took colour theory in college but you've explained it better

Fantastic video! The piece by Sargent 8:09 looks like a photo. Thanks for posting!

I love your videos. Blessings

So good

Thankyou

Thanks for this video. I had already read various books about color, but, in some way, this video summarized some of that content. P.S.: I saw your courses in Udemy, they seem to have been made with great care/effort. If God permits, for sure I will buy them, thanks again for the content and initiative.

Thanks!

Very helpful video. Unfortunately, there seems to be very little information online for Marie Ferdinand Jacomin. May I ask in what museum the painting featured at 11:15 hangs?

I liked this video so much, I've kept it on several times. Your presentation really keeps me in the space of these masters. By the way, at about 08:00, I think you misspeak and say "Sargent" when you mean "Bouguereau". Again: Love the video, and your choice in paintings!

i feel like in reality if you could ask them what their colour strategy was they would just be like "strategy? i just chose the ones that look the best together.."

Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that the colour wheel contains geometry by use of the various colours schemes you have described here. I may have to watch this video over and over again in order to acquaint myself with these masterful colour schemes. I wonder if you have put this information contained in these videos, in book form? If so where can I purchase such a book?

Using the word "strategy" makes color seem more sophisticated than it is. Only form and values are important. If the values are right you can use any colors you want. Or no color at all.

0:09 What is this painting called and who painted it? Thanks! Such a striking piece.

at 7:57 you said the painting was by Sargent, I believe it to be by William Bouguereau. Great video though! Colour is always fascinating.

At 8.23 who is the painting by and what is it called? i like it

There are 2 types of color wheels with complementary red with cyan and red with green. I wonder which way is correct, hope you can help me

Yes great video. Thanks. I have a hearing difficulty and though your voice is lovely and clear the background music made it difficult to take in new words. I am not sure why but the cc (closed captioning) was not working. Thanks though it was very informative and I feel the need to paint a colour wheel!

That "earthy" coloured painting by "Sargent" (7:58) is by Bouguereau.

Who's painting is at 5:06 min?

What about colour appearance in different light conditions?

Are there any combinations that are not recommended?

The painting at 8:05 is Bouguereau, not Seargent.

do you have any fresh coupon codes?

7:59 is William Adolphe Bouguereau not Sergeant

Is it scientific to convert achromatic to chromatic?

Enable subtitles ins this video, please. Greettings from Brasil.

Really makes you wonder if El Greco suffered from a form of color blindness... (Not knocking his immortal works, just wondering.)

I wonder how much of the artists pre-industrial revolution actually spent intentionally designing a piece in color, and how much just got inspired by a color combination they saw and replicated that. A woman will wear her white dress and will accidently stand near a white wall thus creating the pale -white on white composition with an accent color her dark hair and reddish skin color.

Sorry, but that's Bouguereau, not Sargent. The name is even visible on the placard next to his painting, "Breton Brother and Sister."

You make such wonderful videos and you have such good taste, especially with paintings like at 7:40. hmmm, are you single?

That´s not a Sargent it´s a Bouguereau

This discussion of color seems overly abstract to me about using color. Inventing a strategy for using color to paint canvas veers off from the point of seeing color. The big trajectory of painting was toward a kind of understanding of realism. Something like how color photography is supposed to look like what you see. Hence this sense of realism most people can see easily enough. The strategy of a color wheel has little or nothing to do with exploring that in painting. The power of painting is that it is open to developing ideas of realism or veering off into abstraction. The color wheel tells us nothing about why for example Cezanne had such influences upon the culmination of painterly realism in the 19th century. Or why seeing color has such power.

Please lose the music. Intrusive.

Great video. People are unaware of these "strategies", but when you are, things are never the same again. I work as digital retoucher for nearly 20 years, in our field it is often referred to as "grading", although the term means several slightly different things actually, its best meaning is a color design and strategy overall, as very beautifully explained in your video. Sometimes if you grapple purely instinctively for a good color scheme, and then analyse what you have done, it will often fit into complementary or split-complimentary scheme, perhaps with a few 'jarring' notes that are unexplainable. Personally I tend to think it's what some of these artists were likely doing; They were using their minds-eye and the colors available to them. Whether they were consciously aware of what they were doing with the wheel is another matter, although I suspect some like Turner, as you say, may have been. Theoretical knowledge in any field is a double-edged sword. A great thing but also a danger. It's the same as the belief that more music theory will always produce a better musician, it can occasionally be an inhibiting factor. Perhaps if you're led to believe too early on that "it's all science", your belief in magic disappears? Thanks your videos are very good.
