That demonstration at 8:05 is mind blowing. Even though I know color relativity exists, it always surprises me. The fact that a gray can look purple or green by desaturating and just barely adjusting the hue is incredible☺

So true, whenever I want to add a different color to a scene I always end up bringing in something that's way too saturated and far away from what I meant to add, also the way it's explained is truly eye-opening for who's new at this.

This is so eye-opening! Knowing the theory is one thing, but seeing it happening in real time as you’re explaining it takes this lesson to another level. Your various real-life anecdotes are also super helpful. Thanks so much!

@@LightingMentor So, I hope you review Netflix's Entergalactic artistic style. It's done in the vein of Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse.

This reminded me greatly of what my painting teacher told the class all the time. She compared us (Latvians) to the south-west of Europe (like Italy and Spain) and told us that we are lucky to learn painting here because there are so much gray tones. Instead of direct light and bright colours we have overcast days, dull streets, but she always ended with the fact that gray is the most colourful colour there is, gray is every colour. And the moral of that was that we can see more colours that artists in the west so we need to learn to use them. (she also didn't let us use black and when you mix your own black it becomes very colourful)

Nice comment - thanks Yes - Grey is Great And this video is an eye-openner A while ago I realised that the beach I paint (often) is grey - all grey

I’ve heard many say they don’t want to start with a white canvas. You finally gave the real reason - that it messes with whatever color you’re painting with. That helps do much, thank you.

Literally just discovered this a little while ago in my own experimentation. It's as if the grayer the color is, the less you need to shift the hue. Techniques like this is how you can achieve very dreamy and realer than real vibrant colors, without even making the colors super saturated.

Yes precisely!

I thought I knew color pretty well. It turns out I did not, I just cranked out the most accurate atmospheric color study I’ve ever done. Thank you I didn’t even realize I wasn’t utilizing enough greys.

This video is a game-changer -- this same concept can be used in other mediums too. I struggled a lot with color theory and color matching, especially in the past when I wouldn't take the time to plan out my color palette before starting. Using saturation, value, temperature, etc. to your advantage takes your pieces to entirely new levels. So as my mother-in-law tells me now that I'm nearing 40.... "Embrace those greys."

I totally agree! I paint with acrylics and they are very saturated and strong colors - most of the time that´s exactly what I want in my paintings. But I also love the subtlety of grays...

This video nearly made me cry with relief. I have nearly a decade of painting experience and yet somehow really struggle with subtle hue shifts (I am a childrens book illustrator so I often work with very bright saturated palettes) and I was 100% that person using green and purple on the canvas instead of desaturated yellow. You explained this so simply and effectively, I am in your debt!

In just three videos this guy has changed my whole perspective on art. I went from anxious to intrigued to start digital painting.😂

This is amazing, I've heard of this concept multiple times but this tutorial on what to DO about it is a game changer.

I've seen a lot of videos like "top 10 tips for beginner artists" and have always wondered where are the videos with tips for pro artists? We need advice too! And here it is - thank you so much! What a beautiful way to put it, and there is something intricate about the subtleties of color perception that makes this knowledge so precious.

The title should be "how to select color on your digital divice"! Finally I find the Decode of the magic, that answered my confusion since I did digital painting!!!

holy crap, it all makes sense now. what is incredible that you show is, even with all your knowledge and experience - you are still trying to figure out what colors your eyes see and replicate it. I always thought at one point, as an expert/ professional - you just know. thank you so much. I'm not color blind, but figured creatively I was

I honestly think you've just revolutionised my art forever. Thank you so much for this!

Artist Thomas Kinkade used greys like this to make his lights pop all the time. Great technique.

Yes...please do not stop! I'm not a digital artist, but rather a painter. All this still applies! You've given me a new way to think about how to mix my colors. I definitely would have started with a purple and then try to desaturate it. Never would have thought to start with my yellow and desaturate that will moving it "toward" the purple!

I found you last week, and I just wanted to thank you so much! I sometimes don't paint for a while and get super rusty and insecure while painting, but your color study video really helped me to shift my mindset from painting "things" to painting "shapes", making it MUCH easier 😊

Very educative. I would find interesting to see the same process of color relativity applied to the making of an original painting (not trying to reproduce the same hues and values from an already existing painting). The rationale behind the choice of colors is be key for the further improvement of my artwork. Thanks again for this high quality video.

:-) MIND BLOWING! I have seen this exact thing when studying reference paintings for my art, but did not understand what was going on. I was seeing a colour but my colour picker was telling me differently! This is a super powerful tool, thank you!

@3:43 as a dental nurse who has to select color shades for the teeth, this reminded me of the same logic on why we have to select it in natural and artificial lighting. And how blue walls help “reset” our eyes, as so they said.

It's been 2 years since I've had so much motivation to draw again! Thank you for your latest how to videos! Especially the color relativity is one that explains exactly what i have been struggling with without even knowing it. I'll be starting my color studies asap i already picked a few art pieces of your "amazing light" pin board and took a few pictures of props around te house!

Yes! Also there is infinity variety in greys compared to primaries and secondaries or even tertiaries in terms of chroma and that means the potential for subtleties in relative colour harmony is also tremendous. It’s amazing how sensitive human perception is to the subtlest of colour relationships.

This is fantastic video. Your channel is a true gem. Thank you!

I paint using actual media not digital, but YT tossed this in my recommended videos. What you are describing is something artists have been doing for hundreds of years.. underpainting, using neutral grey palettes for mixing, use of "mother" colors (selecting one color as a base for mixing everything else on the canvas), and complementary blending (using the complement of a hue to desaturate). Once upon a time art students were expected to master not only color mixing but the representation of light, shadow and form with black and white first, then complementary duos, then various primary trios. Only then were they allowed a larger palette of colors. I feel like too many artists these days are missing the most basic foundational skills and understanding of the science of art in their rush to shortcut the process.

Or... dare I say it... using digital means to practically canibalise the masters that came before us who now surely must be turning in their graves, now that art is accessible to the common plebs and no longer requires you to be of higher blood to even afford the paint like in the good old days. ​@@lunchlunchYT
