There could never be another David Jansen. What a professor. I happen to be a fanatic to the color, yet, to see anyone explain the details in pigments and tertiary colors, as here. Talk about a winning video. The schools don’t really teach. But, quick to take your money. Thank you, for taking the time for this video. ❤️💯

I’ll watch this a few more times to understand it better. Thank you for this excellent lesson!🤗

See! I knew tertiary was the wrong term for intermediate colors.! Everyone sles teaches it that way. I am so glad you explain that tertiary is made from 3 pigments, or colors. Red, yellow, blue. You get beautiful geys that way. Thank you

Hopefully I will be able to learn this- I have wasted so much paint in the past- I wish I would have had the opportunity to learn this when I was much younger- thank you so much

I’m not a painter. I’m a photographer - but my wife is a painter who watches David Jansen’s videos. I started watching with her a few days ago and I’m now addicted. I loved this video. It made so much sense to me. What a teacher.

I studied the color wheel in elementary school on the 60s and we learned the wheel the way you do it. Later in life in college I learned with yellow at the top. They must have changed the way to teach the color wheel somewhere in education.
