  • In this video, I will swatch out all the Prismacolor Greys so you can see what they look like right next to one another. This will help you to see the differences between the WARM, COOL, and FRENCH GREYS that come with your 150 SET OF PRISMACOLORS. I will explain COLOR THEORY using the color wheel in relation to using grey and choosing your colors. Then I will show you in a full tutorial how to use all the different greys that come in your Prismacolor set.

    I was wondering why there were so many greys, and I was confused about how to use them, so I rarely pick up those shades. I tried practising colouring a white object from ur tutorials with those greys, and it came out so beautiful! I'll definitely try this technique out on some of my old pages!

    I so love this, I need to learn this technique!! So I’m watching it for a third time & taking notes I’ve already scanned and printed the page from the book… now I’m looking up numbers for the names of the colors. I was looking for sable on my swatch chart…. Well it took me a bit but I finally realized sable was sand🤦🏻‍♀️ I totally forgot they have a second name (another language I would guess). Probably no one else needs to know this but maybe it will help someone who needs it ☺️☺️☺️ Now I’m off to color a turtle 🐢

    Thanks for this! A few months ago I used the warm greys to make swatch 'sandwiches' (grey / colour / grey), with the intention of learning more about the values of the other pencils. I made plenty of mistakes (such as starting with 70%, then noticing that some pencils such as Dark Umber are closer to the 90%). And so I am going to redo the exercise, perhaps use the pencils with different pressures to create a value range for the pencils. But I thought I would educate myself a bit more about the greys first, and this is a perfect warmup.

    This was invaluable. It solves A problem I should have been able to think through, but I just had no good idea what the greys were for. ( I'm just learning to use pencils in retirement.)
    I have some great Dover coloring books for plants, the natural cooking herbs and medicinals. I colored them carefully, and I do understand blending and contour shading (my Jon Gnagy learn to draw kit, remember him?). But I could not get the colors of the reference illustrations. Mine looked simple minded, too bright, and just not like you see under the plain summer sun in a field. Like crayon colors, with the Prisms color set of 72, I just could "find" the natural, genuine colors. I tried all kinds of color combining, and learned a lot playing around, but the pictures did not look like real to my eye as plants. Now I get it. I pulled out the sheets and very lightly started to damp down the garish tones with the French greys, and voila! Not perfect, but much closer. I will try now adding in the warm grey toner layers as I go, with the new sheets I still have, and see what I get. I did get a little help from the ginger root and sage pencils, but grey just didn't enter my mind. Thank you!

    Pamela, I enjoy your channel so much. You give so many good tips; and I like your voice, and the way you do your creative process. I love the prisma grays also and French grays are true taupes. I don’t think taupe is better represented in any other common pencil set. It is such an important group.

    It is always best to put things in the order that you use. Why stick to some other system? Who gets to decide anyway?
    I'm still organizing my set to suit me. I'll start with a system that looks good to me, and then I tweak it to my personal taste.
    I'm glad you posted this because greys were confusing me. (They are kind of alien...)

    • @PamelasPassionforPencils
      @PamelasPassionforPencils  3 года назад +3

      That is where the colors switch from warm to cool colors. Purple can be either warm or cool depending whether it has more blue or red in it. If more blue, then it’s considered a cool color. If it has more red in it, then it is considered a warm color.
