Thank you. In 78 years I've never understood color You make it logical, intuitive and simple.
This is the best presentation that totally explained a color wheel. Thanks
I am 56 - had the wheel 30 years + never quite understood - thank you for sharing your wisdom 💡 🙏
Thank you for making the color wheel understandable. I'm 73 and took up adult coloring books recently. If you know nothing about drawing or painting, coloring is relaxing and engaging. What am learning quickly is that not all colors look good together. With all the detail in a coloring book it's almost overwhelming to choose colors. This will help tremendously.
Excellently explained.
Thank you for a great presentation! I had been wondering how to use the back of a color wheel.
Thank you, for the very best and helpful explanation ever❤
Such a helpful tutorial. The day I received my "Color Wheel", I searched for just such a thing - tutorial - and, as the search gods would have it, I fell upon yours. I now have a solid just-the-facts source to view and review many times. Thank you.

Yes thank you!!
No one has bothered to explain this to me, ever and I've been in art school off and on for two decades! Thank you!! I wish I'd been paying attention a long time ago. I'm now teaching color theory to my students and will pass this on first thing.
This is what I need in my pocket. Never interested in learning color in my life, but now that I’m picking up a new hobby (photography) it makes sense to start learning the basics color theory.

Curious, how does understanding color theory assist you in your photography?
Thank you so much for this. Applying color is indeed both science and art.
Wow, NOW, I know or have an understanding of this color wheel. Thank you SO much. I have a better understanding when I am shown and explained instead of left to reading it on my own! I appreciate your explanation of this and cannot thank you enough!

I can now use the Colour Wheel. I bought it but I couldn't understand how it works. Am more interested in clothes than painting. But still thumps up.
I just order a pack of three wheels off Amazon and was wondering what was the difference between the three, now I get it! You may have thought this was super basic and maybe it was but you've set me on the right path!
You are a great person to listen to 🙏 Thank you for your lovely explanation. God 🙌
Thank you. I've been painting for years and never quite understood the color wheel.
Wow. Thank you so much.
I bought a color wheel when I started painting 3 yrs ago. I never had a clue how to use it. Thank you for the straight forward approach.

I have had an assortment of color wheels, apps and now color cubes. I have been so frustrated trying to pick colors for projects and have give up many times over the years. Thanks for such an easy to understand informative video! I especially loved the explanation of grays at the end! Much appreciated 💜

Excellent! I've had my color wheel for a year+ and haven't really understood enough to use it. I especially found the last bit about value helpful--explains why some of my painting is blah--too flat as my colors tend to fall between 6-8. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for this clear and simple explanation ! Do you recommend any colour theory book for a beginner?

I'm confused. If a "tint" is what you get when you add white to a color, why does "neutral tint" watercolor make a color darker?
Very nice,where can i buy color wheel

Helpful, except the end part where you talk about the gray values. You didn't explain how to use that on the color wheel. Thank you.

@@ArtSummits Yes, she references it. But as I said, she doesn't show HOW to use it.
I don't know why some people call colors made from a mixture of two primaries "tertiary" just because they're closer in hue to one of the primaries. A tertiary is just what it sounds like: it's a color made from THREE primaries, which makes sense when you consider that a secondary is made from two. So the tertiaries are the earth tones. A lot of artists and art educators do know this but the percentage that doesn't is surprising. The misuse of the term "tertiary" is just the tip of the iceberg of poor thinking in the art world. It's a shame that the art world is so cordoned off from math and science, because things could be so much clearer for artists.
