Just watched this video and I have to say you explained in concise detail what I've struggled with over the last year, even while watching other mini painter videos. The idea behind chroma, hue, and saturation always kind of weirded me out and you helped me understand it! I'm going to go for a monochrome paint job to see if I can really understand it!!!

I am new to miniature model painting and your videos have really expedited my learning and creativity, thank you for such amazing content!
Great video! Thanks a bunch! I have recently taken the decision to move in to camping-car full time and live and work in there. At the same time, I want to continue painting miniatures. Obviously, it is nearly impossible to bring all my material with me, so I decided to go down the route of learning to mix my own colours from the basic colours, red, green, blue, white and black. I have a long way to go, but I am slowly getting there!
This video is life changing for mini painters- plenty of folks touch on this in videos but you gave us a great historical context for why this is so important. Found the stuff on Newton & Goethe fascinating- thank you for such a great video!! Also you are a hero for including a bibliography :) I had never heard of analogous or split complementary schemes or even considered monotone for models. Can't wait to try out those ideas :)

It's very important for me to explain how and why things work in a certain way; can be the chemistry of a paint, the theory behind an harmony or its historical context... when you know why it's easy to transfer that knowledge or skill in every context or situation! Again, thanks a million 😘
The Real Color Wheel is an amazing resource, wow, the amount of effort the author put into it! Thank you so much for teaching us the theory to use tools and systems like this. For me, I am trying to make the ultimate, 90's, 'Eavy Metal Blood Angels recipe with a modern take using airbrushes and oil panel lines. Your videos are so helpful!
Received this morning my color wheel. Can't wait to put the theory into practice. I feel way more confident to try color scheme now that i have a color wheel at hand. Before I was always refering to existing art concept of the minis.
Great video! Very effective explanations!
