'Not all colors are always available at the same time." Mind blown. 🔑🔑🔑

This is the best tutorial I ever got from internet... (I'm learning for 6 years)

“There’s no way we can confuse red, with green! They’re opposites!” [sigh after remembering I’m color blind and they look the same] Lol
In all honesty though, I’m trying to learn and improve my painting and this video was still an amazing help

The Hawaiian shirt point you made definitely assulted my eyes.

i been studying color and light this last year and I can tell how important and useful are all these topics mentioned in this video, all this ideas works in real situation of painting isn't just theory, specially in digital painting when you can be overwhelmed by all possible colors available to use, i found in digital painting the miss of constraints and possibilities specifically in colors may be counterproductive in some way for artists

Gurney's books are great. He paints outside a lot and I think that's given him a really amazing color sense. Thanks for the video.

This is by far the best video or lesson on color theory I have ever seen.

Thanks a lot Clint!

As an artist who has a university degree in visual arts, and just making a comeback after having been withdrawn from my practice for many years, it was a pleasure to watch your very well done and articulated overview of colour theory.

It is a short video, but it is very well structured and you cover a lot of ground in it that will be very useful to any aspirant artist.
It was a very nice revision for me and on top of this I got a few bonus infos as well!

I am looking forward to watch your other videos!

[drenRa]

Wow, great vid! I wish my instructors at "art college" would have explained it like you, maybe I wouldn't have failed my color theory class lol

Clint is my favorite and best teacher, been watching for years, , and all the things he taught here in his video, are straight to the point and plenty of content, and easy to understand.

Incredibly informative video, thank you. I never paid much heed to colour theory, my thought process was ‘i dont see colour right anyways so lets just not use it’, i normally use a spot colour, but this was super useful. I think im going to try out some of those tri schemes, your liliana art looked really appeasing colourwise to me, idk if it was because the triad omitted the extremes of the colours i cant see, but i find that really intriguing.

your videos are what i've been looking for like 3 years , i now know all of this but will be great for new artists

[ChicoAzevedo]

Even though i had a course on color theory in my computer scientist course, which was mainly to lead towards 3D graphics, i am still blown away. There are so many details, and how color can be arranged to please the eyes, it is still a mystery to me. Never the less, thanks for this mind blowing take on color theory ^^
