Thank you so very much for this explanation, so simple and concentrated information, yet life changing (or skill changing if you will). I have been drawing ever since i can remember, but was unable to shade or use any color up until some 10 years ago when I had the realization that it's all a matter of optics and how light behaves. My work improved significantly as a result and this was one of he pieces of information I was missing. I didn't really understand how the shadow is formed so what colours should I use for it.
LISTEN YOU ,,you are a very good teacher and you sure know your stuff and you can paint !!! you are a triple threat..thank you for sharing.. a fan and student,,,,Bill
Ahhh ok now I understand, so glad you made this video because I had a hard time understanding what other people were talking about. Not that I didn’t understand but my mind needs to know why. I really need to know how it works. That’s why algebra was so hard for me teachers couldn’t explain how it works. Thank you for that reflection (visual) example was perfect.
Excellent! Thank you for the clarification! Best part was your explanation of colors and shadows and light bouncing around the still life display behind you! Well said! :)
Hello! Excellent videos, I'm so glad I found you. In this vid you were using a white light on a white ball. What happens if the light is for example, blue, and the ball is orange? How do you know what colour the ball will be under that light? I've been struggling so much with this. Perhaps I'm over thinking it?
Thanks ! I was talking about when you put on the glass table the five colours (the Geneva pallete) mixed in a wide spectrum (in rows of more less 9 values each one) and I wanted to see in detail how you obtained them (the quantity of paint used for to get each one).It´s because I am studing your method. It is very interesting. Sure!, I am going to see that video. Thanks a lot for your response!
Can you explain to me in 1:25 when the ball is green the shadow shoul be pink + green but what about using red in the shadow as well because its the complementary color of green, or shouldi just create the shadow from the color of the object and the wall that’s reflecting or something similar?
Hi, I have been learning from all your videos, I think you are an excellent teacher, but, I have been looking for a video where be full explained how to get all the scale of values o from the geneva pallette but I never find something like this.
Lilliana Pérez Alvarado I'm not sure what you're asking. Black is the darkest, white is the lightest, and of course you can get any value in between (in grayscale or with color). The blue and brown I use make colors darker, the yellow and white I use make them lighter, and the red can also be used to darken in some cases although I seldom use it for that since brown is generally better for making something darker and redder. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the "Benefits of a Limited Palette" video where I do a color-mixing lesson towards the end of the video.
Sir, you have just completely just changed my artistic perspective
This just changed how I will paint forever. THANK YOU for giving your time to make these videos!
That simple lesson has clarified something I've been thinking about for years. I'll apply that to my next painting.
this is the best channel on youtube!
JsgLrr5612, you are right. The videos are hd and audio is good, and Mr Mark cader is a great teacher.
Sir, you are the best teacher so far. I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm learning so much! Thanks for all, Y
Thank you for imparting all of this knowledge free to the public! You are the man.. subbed!
Thank you! I’m new to painting and this is by far the most helpful and elegant demonstration of this concept I’ve seen.
Best art instruction on the web. Detailed explanation, but simplified so you can actually use what he teaches.
I find his perspectives amazing
wow! that clarifies things. it seemed so complicated, but not when you explain it. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!
I feel so thankful to you. You break down art into science and make it easy to understand. it's not about blindly following the 'instinct' anyone.
The simplest and most accessible explanation. Great teacher.
Thank you! I'm learning so much from your insights, you're great!

Such a clear and natural way to put it. Thank you so much.
Beautiful explained, and demonstrated, in three minutes!! Thank you!
I enjoy listening to you talk about these things. Very informative regarding color also.

What you are talking about is radiosity of light. The bounced light illuminations.
Damn 🙌 so good
a revelation
amazing, explained it so well, so I guess the whole 'warm light cool shadows' thing is nonsense..

Thanks, I understand...
Hi what is color shadow in yellowish wall
Excellent.
Mind blown
Thanks Mark! Is the poster board white, pink, or red?

I need a book on this
My Mentor.
