    Wow, what an impact that a minimal amount of color can have! I've always loved the sepia monochromatic color palettes but never knew the color theory behind it. Thank you so much, your work is breathtaking! ❤

    The more I learn about color theory, the more I marvel how I got anything done before. And the more I understand why I didn’t understand people who could arrange flowers or do interior design. And most especially, I had no idea the VITAL role it plays in video and photo production.
    I know. Writing that now, I’m embarrassed I’ll be read and judged. But it’s true and I’m so glad for these videos that rapidly correct what I’ve spent years crumpling and scratching.

      No, I don't think it's that strange. I have never understood why flower arrangement and interior design worked, but WOW DO THEY WORK.... Art is always like this: it seems easy when done right, and it's so so difficult to get to that point 😂😂😂

    I have been watching your videos for a month now, the way your cover and explain these concepts allowed me to unlock things that I previously struggle with for a loooong time. Man I’m so grateful for the content you put out ! Thank you so much Tim !

    that vibrancy you talk about makes me think about music. two notes might sound weird together but as soon as you add in that "magical" third note and everyone is lining up to buy your album!

    I feel the description was a bit hard to follow a bit. There was a lot of, 'It just is' kind of mentality. lol One thing that I might suggest to help, maybe explain it with the textures of the image in mind, because I have tried to implement color stuff, using fancy color wheels and what not, but it never really seems to work. So maybe diving bit deeper in the understanding of how to use these colors with a color temperature and texture might really help me understand it a bit. Because I look at your images, which are great, and I think to all the times I have done coloring, which is not often due to my struggle with it. and using the same color scheme you use I still don't get anywhere near the results I'm trying to get. Color is one of my biggest cruxes with art... and every time I finish an image and then think to add color I am struck with intense anxiety because the things I have attempted to color in the past... fell apart SOOO fast... And this was back before I learned how to use Layers... so many of deleted art pieces...

      The beginning of this comment was some pretty good constructive criticism for how to explain the theory, but by the end you were just venting your frustrations on him. I don’t think that’s really fair. I hope you get where you want to go with your art but a another person’s RUclips video comment section doesn’t sound like the place to be sad at them.

    • @KEP1983

      Look up Lighting Mentor on RUclips and do the color studies he talks about. They may not be as fun as the imaginative paintings you want to do, but if you start understanding how color works from observation-- not just learning to copy, but understanding how the color you see is created and how it shifts as it wraps around the form-- it'll make it easier to work from imagination.

    I love your tutorials and your art talks. It contains so much useful information that I can use. I have a question how do you deal with stagnation in art, where it seems you are not improving in spite of all the exercises/ practices done and just getting frustrated with it all.

    Thank you so much for the Video Tim! 😃 really informative and clear, I think I will have to get one of the color wheels for myself haha.
    I do have one questions relating to the colour scheme you had for the forest scene at 21:24, what if the character design were to have the cape in red, but you still want the focus to be on the dragons, would you desaturate the red so it has less focus? What would your approach be then?

    When you said "do you even need a color?" it immidiately struck me. Some composer when they compose a symphony they don't know yet which part will be played by horns, tubes, or some fancy instruments. They set every melody to be played by strings(or a piano). (a musical equivalent of using monochrome) and then they "add color" by checking out if an arranging this or that music part to be played by horns or whatever.
    So, start minimalistically. LIke first movies by Scorsese or Darren Aronofsky. No color. Focus Light and shadow. Then MAYBE add color. One color? Two colors?
    I'll reverse the saying:
    Limit is your imagination.
    (not: imagination is your limit)

    For example is ok.
    But i find these colors quite primitive: green trees with green tones, little bit yellow and blue.
    Nature is more colorful and strange that artist like you cannot see these colors... trees are contain out of more shades and grass...
