Colour is such a vast and exciting subject but also can be a bit daunting. Join me in the first of a short series of videos where we have a look at the colour wheel and how it can help us to create appealing and cohesive colour schemes in your paintings...

Delighted to see another video from you - they’re always enjoyable and informative and I liked the examples in Gombrich’s book. Thanks for the tour around the colour wheel! ❤️💛💙

Claire, I just came across your channel and this video purely by chance and think it is seriously one of the BEST videos I have ever watched in the past two years since I started watching various artists on KZfaq when I retired and began my art journey. Seriously, your explanations of colour, combined with these interesting examples and your thoughts as you went through the book is just wonderful…..just perfect. Interestingly, you mentioned Grand Budapest Hotel which is one my favourite films and I remember years ago when I first watched it, thinking about how the colour really does draw you in with a magical quality to it somehow. Thank you so much and wishing you every success with your channel. 🤩🤗

What a lovely comment to read, thank you very much. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video and found it useful. I just started this channel a few months ago and it has been a steep learning curve tech-wise - I had no idea about youtube or how to film/edit etc. But I love the teaching aspect, and reading comments like yours makes it feel very worthwhile, so thank you again. Ps - if you like spotting colour schemes in films, try watching (or rewatching) 'Amelie' - a great film, but also a complementary colour palette in every frame!

@@ClaireKennedyArt … Yes….I am sure all the tech stuff has been a steep learning curve for you and a lot to get your head around, but it looks like you have learned a lot and I am sure that bit by bit you will piece it all together and be just fine. Congratulations on even starting your channel ! It’s a brave thing to do 🏆🥳 I have just taken a look at the trailers for ‘Amelie’ and can see exactly what you mean about the complementary colours ! I will now be looking out for how films, etc, have been formatted and thinking about it in a different light….excuse the pun ! 🤪🤭 It is so very interesting ! Thank you !!

You have achieved what I have thought to be the unachievable...Your approach to teaching the color wheel is exceptional. The slow friendly pace...the way you explained how the white, gray and black create the tint, tone and shade...all the way to the portraits as "theory in action". Wow...thank you 🥳

Hi there and thank you for your comment. I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading somewhere that Claude Monet was colour blind and had to label his paints. If this is the case, it certainly didn’t hold him back! I hope that you enjoy the video and find it helpful. 😊

That was really interesting and informative Claire, thank you. Great for practicing artists like me still getting to grips with colour and tone especially. I have the squinty eye method for that but it's hard to understand.
@ClaireKennedyArt
@ClaireKennedyArt 10 күн бұрын
Hi there and thank you for your comment - yes, I also use the squinty eye method for trying to ascertain the value of a colour, it;s a tricky one. Have you tried taking a photo of your painting with your phone and then converting it to black and white? A quick way to see the lights and darks more easily. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for taking the time to comment

Well done Claire for a crisp, coherent explanation of the colour wheel. I was interested to see you made reference to 'The Story of Art' by E H Gombrich from your student days. It's an abiding memory of mine when I studied Art History for A level in 1971 the teacher starting the lessons by saying..."Right, get your Gombrich's out."

@ClaireKennedyArt 10 күн бұрын
Yes, I think Gombrich was the student staple! I wonder if it still is. To be honest, it's not been off my bookshelf much in the intervening 30 years, but it turned out to be very useful for this video! Thank you very much for taking the time to comment

The problem with color for many newbies and some “established” ….not good, just established artists is, they can’t mix the correct color,so they choose shade and hue color that is close and are satisfied. The issue now is your entire color pallet has to be made up. A waste of time , paint and effort. I know it is a Beothuk, but you must create color charts. You get a new color, do the chart on the values and the cool and warms effects that can be achieved with that color. Your not painting twenty four hours a day. Set time aside to “mix”. Know your tools. Paint are your tools. Don’t settle. Then you make good work.
