You are indeed one of the most helpful instructors I have ever encountered! You are extremely articulate and your videos are super organized and focused. I really appreciate all the time and planning that you put into them!!
This was a good demo! Helps define tint vs hue. I have always stayed away from using white as I feel it dulls the natural colour. Same with black. I do not even own a black as I mix my own using primary colours. But I will watch this many more times and do it with the vid till I have it down! Thank you!!
Color theory,,, not an easy subject, at least for me. I think watching it planted a few seeds and I will watch it again, especially the tints and hues. As always you have a way of presenting things that encourages me to learn more. Thank you.
Very nice Liron. good information here. Like you said at the end if you can show how to use that chart, that would help too. Maybe in some other time video. Thank you for sharing. :)
I don't think you understand this completely (I love your channel by the way). A triangle may not be the best way to demonstrate this as well. You are using value and tint in the same way. Let's stick with Hue, Value and Saturation. Hue is the color. Imagine a series of colors with red at one end and blue at the other where you start with pure red and add more and more blue until at the other end you have pure blue. So this is one side of your triangle. Value would be another side of your triangle where you might start with red and then gradually add water thus ending up with white or very light pink. Saturation (intensity) is the last side of your triangle. You start with red and "grey it out" until at the end you have something with no red and just a neutral grey tan. So, hue is the color and it transitions from one primary color to another. Value is the color getting lighter and lighter. Saturation is the color getting faded out but not lightened. Forget other the other names such as tint, shade, etc. Just to be clear, start with red (for example) and add more and more blue to illustrate hue. Start with red and add more and more water to illustrate value. Start with red and add more and more blue and yellow to illustrate saturation. Hue is changing the color, Value is lightening the color and Saturation is fading the color. I found this as the best illustration. learn.leighcotnoir.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/hsv7.jpg
When I see the reference to a color’s “tone” I understand that to mean saturation. And often I see color wheels and teachers all saying to tone a color by adding gray that has the same value as the color you are toning. Do you avoid this altogether and just use the complement? I’ve been looking for this answer everywhere! Liron has a whole video on toning with gray
@@darrenfromla Yes, if you have intense red and you want to reduce the saturation, you add a little green and you get a less intense red. If you add more green then you get something that is less red and more grey. To be more practical, you can use burnt sienna for a lot. It's more subtle than red since it's already a mixture so if you add it to most colors it will reduce the saturation. If you ever get a grey that isn't to your liking you can always add a little of the primary color you were trying to "grey out" or reduce the saturation of.
You have many options actually! You can use a darker version of the same color (more paint, less water). You can also use a darker version of a different color, or a mix of few other colors. It all depends on the specific situation, as well as the light & shadow conditions 😉
It's important because once one is aware of the existence of these terms (shade, tint, saturation etc) - they start thinking about using them in the first place. So suddenly you may ask yourself - what will happen if I play around with how saturated my colors are? What happens if I decide to go with much darker shades for the entire painting? It's these thoughts that provoke growth - often even subconsciously (: It's a good topic for a future vid, may cover
the temperature concept wasn't clear at all. how to know when a color is a warm or cool? simple look at your color wheel and choose red, if you move a little to the blue side you'll have cooler red colors, if you move to the yellow side you'll have warmer red colors. temperature concept is all about how much blue, red or yellow is in the color that you're painting with. that's why a lot of teachers and schooling methods always start up with the primary, secondary and tertiary colors concept before speaking about hue, saturation or value because once you got in your mind that all colors are a mix of two or three it becomes easier to understand. but that was only a little detail to point out.
There's probably much filler in your paints. Try some quality paints, like M.Graham or Daniel Smith. With just three primary colors you can mix a whole scala of colors. (In the description of this video you see three colors mentioned which are nice to start out with).
