I've been loving these colour theory videos! I learned colour theory as an acrylic and watercolour painter and I was looking for validation for how to break out of the "recipe mindset" introduced in Episode 1. Those recipes are handy for making whole armies but even then they sell you so many paints you don't need! Three highlight colours??? Four skin tones??? Are you kidding me!? Applying these concepts should save tons of money!
Thanks a lot for the early access as well as for sharing your knowledge. I'm thinking of returning to my fine arts studies after 15 years of self taught and your serie is a fresh start of a more academic aproach . Really, really apreciate it.
Great to have early acces as a Patreon to this content Roman. Many valuable lessons that I recognise from your advanced workshop, but are good to see again in an organised video format. One thing on terminology; in arts the more common term for brightness is 'Value' right?
Glad to hear that. That is the plan. It is a different format than on the workshop and videos can be repeated several times. Workshops too though! I am happy that you enjoy it and thanks a lot for your support via Patreon! Really appreciated.
Great Job Roman. The lesson was logical & easy to follow. Where most people have pants arranged according to the hue, I have mine according to purpose. I have all my USAF & USN colours together & NATO colours together & all my Soviet/Russian colours together for example. So when I'm building an AFV or Aircraft kit I can quickly find the correct colours according to the source material. Unfortunately, scale modelling is more about replication than creativity.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and sorry I missed your comment. I really like your saying of spring paints on purpose. Yes, scale Modellen and historical painting have different difficulties than creativity ...
This video series is more informative than the Design and Color class for my Advertising program at university. Thank you for taking the time to make this content and not gatekeeping this already niche community.
The proof is in the pudding. Gonna chant contrast range over and over while i paint tonight and see what happens! Hopefullly the magic spell magic makes me better at painting :3
Thank you for all that quality stuff Roman. I really hope to finally meet you in person this year on a contest or an other! (i'll teach you how to juggle! ;-) )
Super stoked to hear. Seems like the experience in teaching hands on since two decades can be transported into videos. Nice. Really appreciate the feedback. Well this series is connected with my habds on teaching and coaching. The more I do hands on the more footage I got. At the moment all teaching is ok ice, due a fresh family member and I will continue to teach this fall. Means, it could take a while, still. Thank you for your patience!
Hearing the home made sound effects really, really amuses me. The rest of the video was good, but I'm guessing they amused you as well and I wanted to share my appreciation for them.
Thank you for the kind praise! I do not understand the algorythm and the algorythm does not understand me. I do not mind. I see video creaton as a hobby so I am not in a rush or hurry. My job is teaching and painting miniature art, videos come on a much later position, means I can not feed the algorythm like it demands. I do these videos for people like you who appreciate what I do here! Thanks a lot!
Again a great video in these series. I watched different video of this topic and read some books about but this makes it very clear. Also the "homework" is very good to learn. As you mentioned browns are difficult to mix. As colours with a special tonality like for example "Ice Yellow", you know it's yellow but also not ;-). Thanks again for making this.
These videos have been really helpful and I'm glad this is going to be a long series. Each of the videos is packed with a lot of really great information.
Thank you Roman , Colour can be a deep hole to climb into , personaly my advice to anyone is take baby stsps . Anoher tip is to take grey scale pics of your mini with a black primer to show the lights and shadows . I Agree learning to mix colours and colours match is an invaluble skill to have , and like with most skills time and repitition yeild great results .
Wax on, wax off. Not 3 times, but a 1000 times! Good tip, yes. I might talk about that much later when I am speaking about value contrast and how you can work and plan with it... thanks!
Hey i was really into this video, had rought weeks and only now i have time and energy to watch it. Your work is amazing dude, this is my little contribution to algorithym
Really appreciate these videos, you are helping me see color much more effectively and while I am still not the best painter, I am starting to get better at my color selections. Thanks!
I'm really looking forward to doing the exercises for this series when I next get some hobby time as I think they will really pay off in the long run! Thank you for taking the time to make them, I have plenty of people that will benefit from them!
Glad you enjoy them and really happy to hear that many people will benefit from it. You will see and I promise you that you will learn the best when doing the exercises!
Oh man. I remember trying to match colours using primaries before. The one that really tested us came from the old Malefic Flesh paint set from Vallejo. Looked purple but turned out to have a lot of yellow added. Really fun to to try.
Another extremely informative and easy to understand video in the series, you are a great teacher. Really enjoyed the homework but found some of the bright colours difficult to match exactly….more practice needed me thinks! Quick question if you don’t mind? I take it we need to hold on to our worksheets for later in the series? Thanks and keep up the great work
Super great to hear that you are enjoying the series. Some minor color mixing diffuculties can also come from the primaries you use. Do not worry too much. Yes, please keep the sheets, create a learning map or so as in the end of this series I will ask to you to sent your homework in for your color theory diploma that i sent to you
Richtig schön hier. Ich hatte schon mal das Glück, bei einem Workshop von dir teilzunehmen, daher ist es so toll, einiges noch mal aufzufrischen. Der Workshop hat mich damals richtig weiter gebracht und ich kann den jedem empfehlen, auch wenn er weiter weg ist. Danke!
Fantastic Color Theory lessons, thank you very much!!! Hope you can show more lessons! I have a plenty of acrylic paints recipes, but want to change and use primary colors to achieve better results. Pleass, could you tell me the right yellow, blue (cyan) and magenta (red) to buy...from Winsor & Newton, maybe or other you consider good. I found here in Portugal a few variations of blue, red and yellow of Winson acrylics but i don't know which ones to pick. Thanks again!
I am glad you enjoyed these. Rafael, I believe you get to know me as a teacher in these videos, right? Well, there are no specific colors I would recommend to you. I want you to find our your favourites. Your personal favourites. This is why you got to decide on your own ... Get some. Paint. Use them. Learn about them. Get new ones. Compare. Learn about them. Decide. And continue to trust your own decisions. Keep on happy painting! Sincerly, Roman
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Perfect, Roman! Thank you very much! Yesterday I did my first skin paint using Primary colors and I'm very happy with the result.... feeling of freedom... thank you very much! I will keep trusting in my decisions! 🙏🏽.
Just followed along with all 3 parts, 1-3, over the last 2 evenings of painting. I feel like I'm learning a lot, and working new painting muscles. Very much hoping to keep the momentum going. Do you have any recommendations of other things to do or look into while awaiting the other 5+ lessons? So far I have purchased the book Color and Light.
I LOVE your work Roman. I'm at a point in my painting where I've absorbed a lot of technical information and feel a bit donw with that. Your more holistic viewpoint is so refreshing and inspiring!
Lieben Dank für die netten Worte. Freut mich, wenn ich helfen konnte. Ich bemale die Projekte meist am Stück und zusammen gebaut, außer es gibt etwas was man später sieht, ich aber nicht gut erreichen kann. Zu 97% immer zusammengebaut. Ich bemale dann wie ein Gesamtbild und kann das Bild immer im Blick behalten. Das kann ich in Einzelheiten nicht ...
Sure thing. Basicly Golden Acrylics, Windsor&Newton, Schmincke, but you can do the same with high quality pigmented hobby paints, like pro-acryl, kimera, Army Painter Wargame Fanatics
When you say "contrast range" do you mean "value contrast"? I don't think contrast range is a common term in art or other fields. That being said, it's not difficult to understand what you be by that term.
Not to put words into Roman's mouth, but I think he's using "contrast range" specifically because he's referring to more than just value but doesn't want to overwhelm us with too much art jargon right away. Value is usually the most important and obvious because we're trying to paint light and shadow, but you'll probably also want to incorporate some contrast of hue and saturation to help you describe the type of material you are painting, imply the lighting of the environment it is in and even just express your own artistic style (I'm looking at you, Craftworld Studios!). I might be wrong here, but it sounds like Roman plans to go into more detail in a future video anyway so I look forward to finding out!
True, the pace of these videos and the series and how the content slowly builds up is based on my experience on how to take beginners to advanced painters and even make professionals understand more about painting later on. It will take its time, but on the other hand I am always happy about "correction" as I am not a native tongue. In this case I learned from twenty years of experience that the "contrast range" helps people in the start. We will grow together on top of this . Thank you both!

This was a great exercise - Steel Legion Drab took the most attempts for me.

Your approch to making videos interactive is refreshing! Appreciate the effort to peoples learning!
Once you studied to become a teacher you can not stop it :D ... thanks for the feedback!

I love me some pandas! I watch them when I'm sad.
Thanks for the video and for always providing great information
Very true! It works with the pandas ...
Your tutorials are the best I've come across on RUclips - when is part 4 coming?

I am 62 year old, I really enjoy your explanation. You are a good teacher!
Thank you! Hearing this from someone packed with twenty levels ahead of me I feel honored. Arigato!
It really is great to define the methods we use. This is not only accurate for mini's but also in tune with Art in general.
True. Very true!
Hooked to this serie! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward next one :)
Busy, busy, busy, but working on the next one :)
Servus! Vielen Dank, Roman!!! Es war toll und instruktiv, wie immer :) messi und bis spaeter
Nice! Freut mich!
love this series
Thanks a lot!
What's not to love about color theory. My last mixing exercises are a bit ago. So thanks for the reminder to practice again.
Lovely, thanks for your kind feedback! Wrote you an email today ;)
Hearing the home made sound effects really, really amuses me. The rest of the video was good, but I'm guessing they amused you as well and I wanted to share my appreciation for them.
This is lovely. Yes, almost the best part of editing :D
3:15 take all the time you need! Happy to watch all of them!
yay!
Vielen Dank für deine Videos.
Sehr gerne!
can't wait to see the next one 👍
Thanks! Need to wait a bit as I got lots to work on. Thanks for your patience!
