Welcome! My channel is about inspiring creative people.
You'll see videos related to the things that matter to me most: -Creativity -Self-Expression -Personal Growth -Finding Your Calling -And Lots of Fun Nonsense
I'm taking a beginner oil painting class and I like your palette set- up better then what my instructor shows. I'm sure her set- up makes sense to me but as for mixing colors yours makes sense! Thank you.
What a wonderful video! Thank you very much. It’s exactly what I needed to hear. You’re so right , we always want to make everything hard work and efficient but there’s so much value in taking things slow and letting things just be restorative and relaxing for us. So many imaginary “rules” and “restrictions” we make for ourselves. Like, I have to finish this book cover to cover in a week or I didn’t do it right… when actually who cares if it takes me a week a month or a year. If it’s truly for myself and truly for my own entertainment why am I stressing the timeline. Also, I like your crochet duck.
Thank you for such a great video. I’ve been trying to start with Procreate and now i finally feel confident enough to do it. Please make more videos like this. I’m sure everyone will appreciate it.
Hi Kyle, thank you so much for this amazing video! You are a wonderful teacher. May I ask as a novice... can we apply this to Acrylic paint as well? Thank you again.. I cannot wait to apply what I learn from you. Happy Creating🎨🖌️❤
All you really need is three colours and white. Too many colours for the average artist is just an unnecessary expense. However, if you are working in transparent colours you may need a wider range.
This was so fun to learn. Thank you for this video. I’m going to watch this again and then practice these concepts. So fascinating!! What kind of pallet are you using to put your paints on?
this was such a delight to watch! thank you so much for all of the helpful tips. i am looking forward to my refreshed reading journey. ☺️ i’d definitely get a beer with ya! cheers 🍻
I would call red, yellow, and blue the "psychological" primaries (or maybe just "my" psychological primaries since I can't know if other people's minds "see" color the same way my mind does). These are the colors that to my own mind don't "feel" like mixtures (plus black and white). Every other color I can imagine in my mind "feels like" some mixture of one or more of black, white, red, yellow, and blue (at least to my mind). But of course, the psychology of color tells you nothing of the physics. What we now know is that visible light is a whole continuum of different frequencies, not just three or four or five, or even a hundred. It's infinite. So technically no number of primaries will ever be "enough" in that sense -- there will always be some that you can't mix from the others. Although at some point you can get "close enough". If two frequencies are extremely close to each other but not quite the same, and the human brain cannot tell them apart, then in practice it doesn't really matter that they are technically different. I have noticed that even good CYMK printers don't always give you a great representation of some hues -- certain shades of vibrant purplish-blue, for example. So which primaries you choose really does boil down a lot to what kind of result you're after. As you say, there is no one "correct" answer.
I didi it with Syringes to measure with percision and got different colors but I really enjoyed and approve of this lesson!! Just getting started with painting.. i'm a frustrated artist after an art teacher said I had no skill in art. So thank you so very much for teaching me bout the color wheel. I hope to keep learning from you!!
12:57 you messed up really badly right here. you said that totally wrong. You meant to say “since purple is closer to blue than orange is, this purple is a cooler color”, but that’s not what you said. You said “since red is closer to blue than orange is, red is a cool color” and that is simply not true Please correct this because it’s gonna confuse a lot of people
So true 1:16 there is nothing more important as an artist than paying attention to the details and being able to discern differences in light and dark saturation, contrast, color harmony, etc. Being able to think critically is one of the most important elements of being an artist even though it’s literally part of the opposite hemisphere of your brain and the one that you would use for art
Hi Kyle, I can not believe that I'm subscribed to two men's youtube pages that sound so alike! The same voice, with the same laughter, sharing knowledge! Check out Rajiv Surendra, I just finish watching, "I can't believe I found these very rare Antique Painting Tools." Same knowledgeable, videos, same voice. .. Give his video(s) a try. Ps: Ive let Rajiv Surendra know that I have told him about you.....
Being an artist, I was searching about marketing my art business. Thank you for the extraordinary video. It was a powerhouse of knowledge. I noted every point you made. I cannot thank you enough.☺
Beautifully constructed video with great examples. Subscribed. Loved hearing about your story as a painter-turned writer. I graduated 3yrs ago with my Graphic Design degree from University, and I've been burnt out since with only doing some freelance work here and there. Can't fully seem to commit as I don't feel that same passion anymore. However, story planning has really gotten my wheels to spin creatively over these last few years. I was initially inspired from finding author Brandon Sanderson's BYU university lectures on RU-vid back in 2021 for me. There are many Graphic Design elements surrounding books too that I'll incorporate into my own work (ie. cover design, page layouts, typography choices, illustrations, etc.), which is great for potential self-publishing. I've just now officially started writing my story this week. I'll definitely have your examples in mind on writing with "compelling originality." I'm starting off small with a novella since i'm not a traditional writer who can commit to a mega series or a full-length book with confidence. Plus, usually a first work is the worst. So, better to start off small to learn from my mistakes before writing longer works. NOT THE HAIKU AT THE END LOL
Thanks for sharing, and I can 100% relate to your experience of burnout. For me, burnout is always just one step away from slamming the brakes on every area of my life, lol. My first book was written during burnout, so I know it's possible. It's basically the theme of the book--how I wrote the book when I was burned out. Its called How To Write This Book. I definitely can't recommend it as a great piece of literature, but it was proof to me that there is some kind of "easy creativity" that's possible with the right perspective. Good luck writing! You've got this! [ps I've heard of the Brandon Sanderson lectures, and I'm so glad you reminded me of them!]
