Painting Shadows and Highlights - The Basics
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2014
- This type of color theory was popularized by the Impressionist artists who would commonly refuse to use black paint on their pallets. They didn't need to use black because they saw all sorts of colors in shadows. They were very color focused. This tutorial only touches on the basics of painting shadows.

Excellent video. I especially love that you get right to it instead of blabbering aimlessly for the first 10 minutes as so many of these RUclipsrs seem to do 😆 Got great benefit from your simple and concise demonstration/explanation. Thanks for posting.
As a beginner, this is by far the best tutorial I've seen. Thanks for this. Subscribed.
the best shading video that makes simple sense thanks.
I had been struggling during a few days, but now it's all simple man, thank you so much really
For
I totally thought you were stoned, and looking at the comment section, glad to know I wasn't the only one- it made the lesson much more enjoyable knowing it was done with a free spirit. The information was absorbed with enthusiasm from my end. Thank you.
Far out myan!
Massive help, Michael. Clear and concise and something we can really use on a practical level. Perhaps you could do some tutorials on how to sketch tonal values in landscapes/still lifes and how to convert them into the correct hues (preferably in soft pastel). I really could be doing with the help. So glad I came across your tutorial. I'll be spending the crest of my day watching any others you've made. Thanks again, mate. Really appreciate artists like you who take the time to help those of us who are dying to create something but run into so many fundamental problems.👍
used this with my students. you do not appear stoned!
😂 wtf
Well that explains it 😃
Would you be surprised tho ? 👀
wtf
Appreciate this so much! Wonderful tutorial. Cleared up so many things for me. Thank u so much. Best video I've seen so far on shadows and shading. Takes me to the next level.
Your the first person I can understand when it comes to shadowing. Thank you so much
Thank you for your simple explanations and demonstrations. Not a lot of unnecessary talk, right to the point. Thank you!
I love short and sweet and simple explanations. Thanks. I like 'purple' also!
Many thanks for this great tutorial. I took notes, and will certainly use your teachings to do shadows appropriately. Also, I will make myself more familiar with the color wheel!
Thank you so much! I was just adding black to the color. I can't wait to start painting! 🤗
Thanks, Mike - I knew, instinctively, never to use black from the tube, but I had no idea which colors to use for shadowing acrylic color - I never thought to use the opposite colors on the wheel, to shadow a color object! I was using Umber...even tried Payne's grey which I KNEW wouldn't look good...very strange & unnatural...I am so excited to practice painting shadowed & highlighted spheres, right now!! Again - thanks SO much!!!! Subscribed & will recommend to my friends.
THANK you so much. Being a beginner Im always looking to discover how things are done. YOU hit it out of the park for me today, thank you!
When you know what your are teaching you make it simple and easy to understand. Great job thank you.
Thank you for short and yet clear explanations and nice demos.
Great teaching. No artist provides me this info.explicitly. It's the first time I learn about the use of opposite colors for shadows.
"Look how soft that's gettın', Ah yea *snicker*" 😉
This is absolutely THE BEST, most simple explaination I have EVER read n unfortunately I've read books about shading n didn't get as much understanding as I got in your short video! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I am now a subscriber. Too bad I can only like this once!
This sure created beautiful rich colors! I'm eager to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Great advice my man
“Have fun!” So tough to do but do right
Awesome !!!! I feel as though I learned a lot about color and using the color wheel. Thank you so much for sharing
This is the best video on shadows, no more adding blacks for me. Thank you!
Yep! Easy to follow for a beginner like me. Informative and very helpful. Thanks Mike!
Great video! Very helpful 👍🏼 Thanks for a clear, concise demo.
Your tutorial will be very helpfull to me. Thank you.
You made this so much more SIMPLE for me THANK YOU
Very well done. I like that you also speak to watercolorists.
For a beginner like me this has been a real help, thanks!
This is really good. I wish you did more on acrylic painting. I struggle more with highlights than shadows.
I was looking for such a video for a long long time. Finally I found one. Thanks a lot
Really useful especillay the blue. I wish someone had explained the colour wheel to me 50 years ago!

It would also have been good and informative to see a demonstration of cast shadows from each of these coloured balls unto different coloured grounds !
That answered questions I've been asking for too long, thank you. That was lovely.
Excellent tutorial for this beginner! Thanks. Judi
Thanks Michael for this video. You need to do more.
Loved the way you explained that. Thank you!
good basic advice, and very helpful. shadows are very deceiving & hard to figure out for their colours, as often as not
Loved this. So clear and simple
That was good Bob Ross kind of tutorial, dude. I can see that you try to use the same tone as him, good call.
Nice video. Good delivery of the subject matter.
Great demo. Now I know how to mix shadow colors.
Love this I understand now why my shadows always looked out of place. Thank you
Me too
excellent using the color wheel and demonstrating how complementing colors create excellent shadows. I have had a very hard time teaching this to students, they run for black. Excellent not using black and demonstrating it. hues and imitations/ substitute colors are another thing.
Very helpful. Thank you. Your light was giving a glare, but very helpful.
Thanks! I really liked the video and I'm excited to get started on my painting
When adding the lights and shadowing you can do this when example the red ball is dry?
I love this guy,he helped me so much!(coming from a BEGINNER artist) :)
thanks for the video 👍
It was very nice to watch, this is a very soulful video 😌
OMG thank you so much this video was so helpful!!!!!!!!!
I have just gotten back in to painting and had to do shadowing in a portrait and used black (because i couldn't remember anything from art in school) and it completely ruined my painting and I was about to give up when I found this video it honestly makes so much sense now and I really appreciate the help! I'm gonna try some shadowing tomorrow before I get back in and try fix up my portrait!
Thanks again!
Of course. I am so glad to help. Yellow and purple make a great shadow color for many skin tones.
Thanks!
Thanks
Thank you Michael your video is clear nd informative , I would be grateful for a reply to my query which is for the highlights since ur using a combination of yellow and white does this go on top of the base color or mixed into it
TY. This concept was never really explained to me and I was just thinking about that recently when implementing a shadow for a tree- I used dark green/brown. green red combo would have been better
Best tutorial !!! Thank you
just find out bout your channel, its old i know but still gonna say thanks, now i am sharing this with my students.
great tutorial Michael
Beautiful!! This is extremely helpful!
Just learning which colors to use for shadows & ty for this video as was going to use orange to shade some place on blue pants! Now going to try Burnt Umber. My question is must you use a cool shadow w a cool color? If you use a warm color for a shadow to a cool color will it look strange? Ty
There are warm colors in shadows sometimes. It depends on your light source and any bounce light coming off of subject. Regardless you can paint whatever you want. If it works it works. Shadows just require a correct value of light for your brain to register it as a shadow. Color comes after value.
thanks a lot for this info , I found that it helped me a lot to understand how too paint shadows which I have never really had much joy with before but watching your demonstration worked for me , thanks again for your time man.
I've been watching so many totorallys to show me how to paint and every time i see them paint i look at there hands and see how clean they stay while painting and then i look at my hands (I'm painting while watching this vid) and then i wonder
"HOW DO THEY KEEP THEIR HANDS SO DAMN CLEAN OMFG!!!!" Xp
This was awesome!!!! Thank you!
This was a very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you Michael that was very helpful!🎨👍🌈
simple and clear. thanks for this video!
and what would be the colour of the cast shadow?
This was so helpful to me!!! Thank you!
Would you paint the shadow cast on the table/plane/surface the spheres sit on with the same color?
thank you for this I always wonder about the shadows on paintings
This is so what I needed. Thanks 👍🏾
Great video!
Great video. Thank you.
great lesson, god bless you
Thank you for sharing this.
Shereen Timmerman No problem. I'm glad it helped you.
Wow!! This is the best video i have seen. I have a lot of problems with shadows. How would i transfer this knowledge when i have to do skin color palets?
TY for the excellent video.
Thank u so much. Very good information.
Thanks for Video. Very helpful for me!
Good info, can always learn more...
Dude, 35k+ views with 1k+ subs, fuck yeah man!!! Awesome
Thank you for this useful information
Thank you so much, good job
I am now a fan of you I wish we could hang out and just paint the day away you seem like and awesome dude yo. forever be a fan now
Great video.
Very nice video, thank you!
Thank you verry much love from thailand
When doing the shadow for the blue, instead of using brown (which i do like) Could you instead just use less yellow instead of doing a 50-50% mix of the blue and yellow?
Do you mean red and yellow? If I'm mixing from the basic colors then I wont use a 50-50% of red and yellow to make orange. I'll use more red. I find it easier to mix a brown first then add blue. To make brown I first make purple, then mix in yellow for more color control. Yellow is strange in that it can make for some great shadows but its a fickle color to mix for shadows. I hope that answered your question.
Thank you very much :)
I justed liked and subscribed :)
Very well explained! :^)
Its very helpful thankx for this video
Helpful and inspiring! I been wanting paint but afraid
theresa dyer, I was afraid too, and now I have done a good job in painting...atleast I think I did.
this was very helpful! can you please do a quick demo on creating shadows of a white object? such as the shadows of teeth or a white ball in a white background or a white wall? thank you so much if you can do that
+Sahgee Totally.
+Michael Schmitt (Master MadCraft) thank you SO much. you're the best and i value the time and effort you put into your videos. :) thank you sir.
Sahgee Oh wow. Thank you
Thanks for this 💙
It's really helpfull
You can make a great black with Ultramarine and Burnt Umber... you can take towards warm or cold depending on the proportions.
+Fabrizio Aldonne That is a great point. I love playing with those colors on skin.
thank you, i struggle so much with shadows,
Thank you!
Sooooooooooo beautiful
Thank you so much !
How do you know which shade or tint (not sure what the correct terminology is) of color to use as a shadow? FOr example for Yellow orchid, you use magnese violet. I understand purple is the opposite on the color wheel, but how did you determine what shade of purple? Thanks!
That's up to your artistic license. Ultramarine violet makes a great natural color. Manganese purple is more of an unnatural color. Some pigments make darker colors than others but shadows aren't always super dark.
@@MichaelSchmittMasterMadCraft okay so the type of purple is really up to us, The color wheel is more of a guide…Thanks for the reply 😊
Help, I'm having some issues with shadowing. I have a black base canvas it has a blue ring around a red, orange and yellow flame??? Any suggestions?
Great video
