The most difficult perception for me to discern is observing warm and cool colors - in direct observation as well as in pictorial references. I wish there was an intensive turorial workshop on this topic.
@@deaconseptember2002 Sometimes it’s not obvious and there are too many external sources so one idea is to set up a still life in a small box where you can use your own light source and really control the lighting. I would practice painting simple objects under that single light source. To see color takes time and practice, it took me many years to feel confident with it.
Use warm vs cool is relative to the colors involved. Using a cool could mean a less warm color applied within a warmer area. Understanding this is hard for beginning painters, cooling things or warming things is a 204 level color theory application. Basic color mixing is learning the complimentary. Understanding the use of pigments over warming or cooling things around your canvas is beyond just basic use of complimentaries within a composition, it is knowing a fluency of color mixing.
Thanks a lot! I’ll definitely try this exercise with a simple object like apple! Thanks again for your time 🙏

@@chrisgriffith1573 yup takes a lot of time and patients.
I'm enjoying your videos. I was wondering your thoughts on whether ultramarine blue is a warm or a cool blue in your opinion. Same with cerulean blue.
@@nagridgecreative thanks ! Nothing exists in isolation so it depends on what you put it next to.
You mean "warmer than - or cooler than" - there is no such thing as "cold" and "Warm" colours!
