One of my most commonly asked questions is " how do I know which colours to use?" Oh boy! this is a hard one to answer!! with colour depending on so many things, the short answer is a solid " It depends" but today I'm going to do my best to give you a helpful start. Of course this is not just for colour pencil artists, hopefully, you will find this helpful no matter what medium you use :)

Wonderful video! Practice 😂. I love practice! That's when I draw and paint what I want to do. Blending multiple colours is fun as well. Love the wave painting behind you. 😍

@CassandraHanley 5 лет назад

Practice is key! That’s exactly what I am doing with that wave painting!! I’m not very accustomed to using oil paint, so I’m just slapping layers on it every time I get a chance.. I may finish it one day, but for now it’s all about the practice

Brilliant thoughts Cassandra. You’re so right

I think most of us find it difficult to choose the colours for our drawings no matter what the medium. I know I find it difficult every time. I use soft pastels a lot but it's not my only medium. I use my swatches held up against the reference and decide which is the closest colour but then decide I might have to mix colours to get the right tone. It takes up some time to decide but I guess it will get easier the more you do it. :-)

I couldn't agree more with what you said about it doesn't matter which colors but what values. I have been sketching this past year and have been intimidated by color and have started to see for myself that it is my weak use of values that is really what I need to focus on. It is a very freeing discovery to not feel chained down to a formula!😀

@CassandraHanley 5 лет назад

It can be a bit scary to go in for the darker colours can’t it?

@user-iq5lv4zm9c 5 лет назад

@@CassandraHanley Yes! Very scary if you are proud of something! Don't want to spoil it.

Great video! I think you've nailed the main point. So much depends on personal taste and experience, there's no short cut to just diving in and learning through practice. Of course it's also important to understand the theory ... illumination, reflectance, shadows, surface texture, all the things you mentioned, but maybe glossed over a bit too quickly. Funny ever since I was a kid I was fascinated by colour and never felt shy about experimenting with it, so my experience is different to yours, but we've come to the same conclusion through different paths.

@CassandraHanley 5 лет назад

You know, I really struggled making this video, because using colour is sooo complex, and I don’t want to bamboozle beginners into thinking its something they can’t achieve. I think the best thing about colour is the more you practice the more you see! The world gets more colourful as your eyes get more experienced at looking. But you have to start somewhere, and it’s not a scary as it seems at first!

I don't see why she gets thumbs down in her videos. People are dumb. I feel like I'm listening to an art teacher.

@CassandraHanley 4 года назад

awww thanks! thumbs down don't bother me, they are just a part of being on RU-vid.. frankly I am surprised this video does not have a lot more, since there is no perfect answer to this question

Yes, OVERWHELMED! I'm starting to think I might be colour blind. Thank you for sharing..

Loved this video, it is so pertinent to some of the questions that confront you when just beginning. It has been really informative and helpful.

@gnostie 2 года назад

Well said. Value discernment is the key, specific colours are a matter of perception, including momentary mood. Any advice on how to train one's eye to see nuances of values? All kinds of sources, e.g. books, videos are very much appreciated.

@katywuste9054 5 лет назад

Subbed because your videos are short and I'm not just looking at your hands!!!

@manikandanr5039 4 года назад

Good video.. the way you talk and your expressions are awesome.. thank you so much .. now I can go forward to color pencil.

@arturoarroway2508 3 года назад

just ran across a painting course online that the instructor said his school made him do a full year of value study before he was even allowed to pick up a paintbrush. and every other course or video tutorial or lesson has pretty much said the same thing. Value is more important than color. back to grey scale value study it is then. :(

I’m a beginner in the adult colouring world & have no clue whatsoever in what colours to choose for a picture,I’ve resorted to following tutorials on RU-vid for now 😂

Hi nice video! The App color pencil picker is not the best. It has bad problems with guessing darker colors! My recommendation is the App Arty and the App Color picker for Artists , both iOS! I have them all. None of them is really perfect. At the end, the best resultat is choosing colors by eyesight. Next Problem: is your Monitor calibrated? Another Problem: The Cameras.

@CassandraHanley 5 лет назад

Thankyou!!! I will pin this comment to the top so it doesn’t get lost. I am sure there are some pretty good android apps too. If anyone has recommendations feel free to list them so we can all try them out :)
