You are the best! I cannot tell you how much you have helped me! It’s the mysteries of painting explained. You demonstrate everything so clearly. I appreciate you!
And very inspiring to see how you use the color to make an atmospheric and very special painting. The summer scene demonstrated that very clearly. My first thought was: what a boring photo and then came your painting just so fine -
Thank you. Recently painting plein air with friends at a site which was color-bland... said "An artist can make anything beautiful." And so you have shown how. You have helped me to better understand color theory and creating.
Thank u Mr. Starke....Its been 5 years & ur content is still helping painters. I cant express how much I appreciate ur straight forward direct approach. U have a title & the information included in the video completely pertains to that title & subject, exactly what I was hoping for. That may seem like a given but actually the opposite can b found elsewhere. People going on & on while not saying much of anything useful & sometimes having nothing to provide that relates to the thumbnail, aka: clickbait. So instead of complaining, I make a point to speak up when someone is actually helping people by providing true experience & useful information. Ur paintings r very impressive, I really enjoyed seeing them...as well as great examples for this conservation regarding color schemes, triads, & so forth. Please, during these difficult times, stay well ✌🏻😷 & I wish u & urs the best. Thanks again!
Phil's explanations and demos are so clear and concise! I love his work! Please send me more lessons...this is more what I want...not too much , just enough to mull through!
It's so valuable to hear from you how you are using secondary and split secondary colors. It's my second return to your videos and I understand them deeper. Thank you very much!
You do an excellent job of explaining things that have been explained before but for some reason with your explanations it sticks and makes sense! Thank you!
I see this is eight years ago, so you probably can't check old posts, but just wanted to say that, as a beginner, this video really has my brain working with regard to color groups/schemes, and values. Great video, thanks!
Phil the colour scheme you used for that church in New Mexico painting looks very pleasing to my eye, I love it. Who would of thought that you can paint a sky without using blue! You mentioned that you used green, violet and orange, those colours look so nice together in this painting. Phil when you use those 3 colours are you mixing the green for example from blue and yellow or are you using a green pigment? Same for orange and violet, are you mixing those first or are you using the pigments from the tube? Great work on this Phil.
Thanks Mike, I do use ultramarine and cad yellow light to mix a pure green. Sometimes I use viridian. I mix the violet with ultramarine and alizarin crimson, sometimes use dioxizine purple. For orange I use cad orange.
Glad you are creating more videos! Learned a lot from this one. On your instagram channel, you did another version of the Teton mountain scene you have in this video, can you tell me what color scheme you used for that one? It's called Cottonwood Creek . Thanks!
I admire your talent and you are giving so much information about choosing colors that gives the sense of atmosphere in a painting is so useful and thankk you for that.iam always looking for the atmospheric landscapes as it transports to the location visually!
Bravo to you for supplying such vast and quality information in an interesting lesson format. You speak in such a relaxed manner and organize material so your videos are easier to absorb making the learning/listening/watching pleasant.
Thank you thank you for showing me what to do with "all that green" in a nature setting. A lot was clarified. Please do videos on color massing. This is a problem for me.. what to combine with what. Great artwork.
This is fabulous --just what i have been looking /longing to see I get to bored with local color Thank you so much I would love to see more on this please please
Hi Phil, What an exciting video - I have been interested in color schemes but didn't fully understand the reason for doing so....until this video and the studies I have done after watching. Thank you. I know you r medium is oil - do you feel that all your instruction is - and your online classes or membership are equally applicable to acrylics as well . Thank you for your response, and, again, thank you for consistently inspiring videos.
Hi Lolita, Yes the Easel Insight Membership is compatible to acrylic. We have several artist who use acrylic. The lessons are focused on composition, value, color, depth and brushwork. They are all interchangeable to oil, acrylic and pastel. Here's the link, let me know if you have more questions. easelinsight.com/
Phil I found this really helpful, good job, I'm always trying to use colours in my drawings, (coloured pencils) that out side the box Monet type renderings, now my oils I like the Canadian group of seven and Tom Thomson to emulate. Your method seems more to my liking, thanks for sharing, great stuff.
Thanks a lot for your helpful teachings. One question: Could we also mix the colors of the color scheme? Considering that it will produce new colors and therefore negate using limited colors of the scheme I think we could not mix the colors. Am I right?
Your paintings are beautiful and your instruction is excellent and very interesting. I'm having difficulty understanding how you create different values. Is it by adding the compliment or adding white or both? Thank you
I dont mean to step in uninvited but maybe I can help (been 10 months...so...) Most color conversation assumes a type of white (preference....could b any u use now) & a dark or black simply used to tint the colors u r creating. So a triad with yellow as the dominant could b lightened down to a pastel by adding white....or a shadow of the cool dominant darkened by adding black. Though they r not typically considered ‘color’ as part of the consideration, meaning its still a triad as u decide what 3 colors u prefer to work with, but regardless which 3 u would still have ur white & black. So now on to the clouds. Even if u mix all 3 colors together to create a ‘cloud’ color u could then lighten that color almost all of the way to white. It would b an ‘off-white’ with a dab of ur color choice in a lot of white. The real question is wether a particular cloud is warm or cool. If its catching a lot of light from the sun then u might choose the warm color of the scheme & add as much or as little as u prefer. Most whites out of the tube will b on the cool side. If u r not sure smear some on a piece of printer paper & u will see very clearly if it leans blue or yellow or violet etc.... Hope this helps!
I dig your vids -- thanks for turning me on to Elioth Gruner by the way -- but one thing in this and other vids that really bugs me is your pronunciation of tertiary. You keep pronouncing it "tersherary" -- it's pronounced (phonetically) "ter-She-airy". Don't know why it bugs me so much, but your explanations are so detailed it seems like that one pronunciation takes away from your point. Probably just me, but once again thanks for your video's.
Finally someone truly explains the how and why use of color schemes, and in the most down to Earth way, Bravo! Thank you
I realize I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@@prestonimmanuel5260 I'm jumping back into RUclips, so if you're subscribed, you should be seeing new series from me soon.

I tried the secondary split complement color scheme and was astounded at the beauty of the mixtures!
Glad it helped Dee!
You do an excellent job of explaining things that have been explained before but for some reason with your explanations it sticks and makes sense! Thank you!

Thanks Scott. I don't think I used a particular color scheme but i leaned heavily on blue violet and yellow orange.

Some great information, especially about using different color schemes on smaller canvases to work things out beforehand.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Gangster you are awesome. I was looking for some comprehensive info on this and here you are. Thank you Phil Starke.
this is so good to help me under stand how an artist thinks
That's great. It's always the goal to be clear when I'm teaching.

Icons!
Thank YOU for an Excellent and Effective Video. MUCH appreciated.
Thank you. I am one of those that uses way too many colors and this lesson is very helpful.
Very useful and instructive. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for your helpful teachings. One question: Could we also mix the colors of the color scheme? Considering that it will produce new colors and therefore negate using limited colors of the scheme I think we could not mix the colors. Am I right?
I loved your first painting. It also has a painterly feel . So , you choose the photo, compositon vlaues and then choose a color scheme last?
Hi Deborah, yes, the colors are a choice, the composition and values are the foundation
This channel is worth more than any college degree.
Thanks, much cheaper too!
Art = freedom
Thanks Jean
Loose paintings are totally my thing, thank you for this, quite late
Your welcome Reese.
Fabulous video Phil - you explain a difficult process really well !
Your paintings are beautiful and your instruction is excellent and very interesting. I'm having difficulty understanding how you create different values. Is it by adding the compliment or adding white or both? Thank you
I like to keep learning. Do you teach on a personal basis?
Thank you! Valuable information.
You're welcome!
Thank you Phil 😊
You are very welcome
incredible lesson. thank you
Very helpful. Thank you

Great tutorial Phil.
Do you use white for your clouds? I love how you use a color scheme. Thank you.

Which color i should use for winter time in countr side? Thanks
There aren't any formulas for mixing color in different subjects, you might watch my video; Mixing Color to Suggest light.
Thank you! invaluable information for a beginner.
Your painting was singing - showing how beautifull colors can be -
You could make a junkyard into beauty!
Thank you for sharing all your information.....this is something that I have struggled with. You have help me very much....thanks again
Lot's to think about - thanks very much
Tersherary! lol! Thanks for the great info, Phil! Another true gift!
