Hi Michael, I'm just starting painting at 62 of age. Have viewed "many" other contributors on utube. In my humble opinion, your explanation is the best I've seen.Much more concise, easy to understand and, in under 10minutes, blew all others away.Many thanks & best wishes.Chris, U.K.

I'm still paying for my student loans and while I was in Art School, I had actually calculated down to the very minute what I was being charged for class. It is not lost on me what this would have cost in Color Theory so I am much obliged for your generosity. I need to get back to basics ever so often so these kinds of videos are a Godsend. Even better yet, someone like you who can effectively communicate the lessons. Much success. Cheers!

"Dont focus on the color but the value and the temperature" advice made it so much easier to understand what exactly is going on wrong with the paint mixture and how to correct it .Thanks!

Really helpful. I haven't seen someone do all cultures. People usually just do European. Thanks

We need this guy making foundation for makeup artists lol. Amazing job now I know how to adjust some of my makeup foundation

[tomoyopop]

Thank you SO much for showing different ethnicities than just European! It's been so hard to find tutorials for other skin tones. Very helpful and you explained it in such a succinct and simple way. Adding this to my favorites to refer to later.

I had many thoughts àbout this video and I sent a message and the deleted it. my final thought is this. Isn't it great that we are all made from the same basic colours. WONDERFUL VIDEO

This is the best skin tone tutorial I've ever seen. I'd also like to note how COOL it is that we all have the same basic colors.
