    That was GREAT! I'm in the process of beginning to paint a Russian Blue cat and needed a quick course in mixing greys, and that's how I found your video. While you didn't actually do any paint mixing, you provided great explanations of the differing shades and how to get them. I was kind of dreading this project but now I'm excited to experiment with all the different shades and tones of grey. Also a great explanation of cool and warm colors. It was basic but so understandable. Thank you!

    That was soooo very informative especially in comparison to ‘other’ videos on the subject. It gets confusing fast if the teacher doesn’t consider his audience and the varied degrees of color theory knowledge one may or may not possess. I am learning by ‘doing’ and by ones such as you! I have subscribed to your channel hoping I will learn more about color bias paints. I find myself trying to replicate versions of greens I would call muted or cool. They are more gray/or blue hinted. It has been quite experimental as I’m learning more about the different blues and yellows and their make up in the bias dept! Lol it’s been quite fun to be honest. But you can get road blocked quickly if you were in the dark so to speak about how umber and the browns can help!!! Ty again for clarity, you are a very good teacher👍🏽 Ps I work with acrylic paints. I use various brands but when mixing primarily Golden, Liquitex and Amsterdam

    hmmm ok. Thank you, it's useful. I didn't know that blue + brown = black, that explains why there is no black on the watercolor paint set I bought, instead there is some kind of bluish dark grey... and some brown.. Still I find it more convenient to have some neutral black and add temperature to it if we want. I also didn't know that yellowish green was considered warm.

And then she actually mentioned that her husband, kids, and dog just got home that and she is going out to dinner. All I want to do is paint my bedroom and go out for dinner too.
