Of all the dozens of Color theory videos I've watched over the years this is by far the best and most comprehensive. Can't wait for the next. Thank you!
I covered a significant potion of my hand with paint until I found my skintone. That was quite a challange however I learned alot. Thank you very much.
I can remember one of your Classes when you told us - Complementary Colors can be used to desaturate the color - But I never realized they mix into grey together - I was alsways under the asumption two complementaries make brown? This is also the short answer when you google "How to mix brown" - I'm confused now so I hope in Part 3 we see some browns :D
All three primaries mix into grey. Complementaries will mix to a colorful version of that grey as it is the same principle, but different amount of primary colors mixed in. Means, red/magenta is completementary to green (green is mixed from primaries yellow/blue) ... means you are mixing red/Magenta with a certain amount of yellow and blue if you add the complementary that is green. Is this understandable? Hahaha, might have to read again myself.
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Danke Roman für deine Antwort, ich versuchs auf deutsch weil ich glaube meine Frage sonst nicht zu 100% richtig formuliert bekomme :D Ich hab die Übung gemacht und eigentlich ganz brauchbare Graus gemixt bekommen - Im Anschluss hatte ich dann die Frage in meinem Kopf wo denn nun die ganzen Brauntöne sind - Eine schnelle Google Suche hat nur zu dem Ergebnis geführt -> 2 Komplementär bzw. im Umkehrschluss alle 3 Primärfarben zusammen ergeben braun, was sich offensichtlich mit deinem Video (teilweise) wiederspricht. Ich hab dann versucht Braun auf der Palette zu mischen: Der erste Versuch war dann einfach ein einfaches Orange ein bisschen entsättigt mit Blau und siehe da, vor Grau kommt also irgendwie Braun oder so. Die Frage müsste also eigentlich heißen "Was ist Braun?" oder "Ist Braun einfach nur ein entsättigtes Orange?"
@@sniperbuddyfabi Braun kommt vor grau, korrekt. Alle Brauntöne sind entsättigte Versionen der satten Primär- oder Sekundär farben. Ein braun baut nicht immer auf orange auf, mische mal gelb mit violet oder rot/magenta mit grün. In diesen Bereichen bekommt man ganz viele Töne die zu Braun tendieren. Ich hoffe, dass wird in dem nächsten Teil der Farbtheorie ein wenig klarer, da hier viel gemischt wird zur Übung. Ich bin dran, dauert aber noch ;)
Thank you! I've just watched this at work and can't wait to get home to get brush in hand. It made a new connection for me: I now know why my paint water turns varying shades of gray.
I just want you to know that this will be saving me LOADS of money on paint. Just needing 3 primary and a black and white literally changes everything! Thank you for giving me this knowledge!
I wonder if sunsets are the reason we enjoy complementary colours. They are complementary because the atmosphere splits blue light out of the spectrum, leaving yellow. Millenia of enjoying sunsets perhaps made us appreciate that split.
Got myself some high quality paints and followed along with both videos. It’s a lot fun approaching colors this way. Mixed my own skin tone as well. Can’t wait to see the next videos in the series and learn even more! Very curious to see where this will lead me. Big fan of your work, so I’m really commited in trying out this way. Cheers!
Roman: Superhappy to hear! Really! Glad you enjoyed it. I am - unfortanetely - rather slow at the moment in getting the next part online, but I am working on it. Thank you for your patience!
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Don't stress yourself. Better slow and well done. I'm not going anywhere. In the meantime I've painted a test model only with Primaries + Black and White. Was a very interesting experience!
I have to thank you once more. With this series something finally clicked whithin my brain and it kinda helped me a lot. Just yesterday was trying to figure out how to paint the cabin of a rover mini and then, after watching this video, i went, took my swimming googles, looked at them and the way they looked under the light and tried to figure out the colors, and finally, without following a tutorial, i managed to recreate the effect i wanted for those window pannels. Not the smoothest of gradients, i still have a lot of practice ahead of me, but i was amazed that i actually pulled the look i was aiming for. PS: as a side note, when in the past i would have used black and white to brighten and darken my orange midtone, now thanks to your video series i went for adding blue to my orange mix to create the shadow, and yellow to lighthen it up, and i think that made a great difference on the final look.
THIS is so great to hear as a teacher who feels responsible on the learning achievements of ... well, you. Thank you! I am in love with your comment! And thanks for your patience in my answer!
Roman: Superglad you like it. It is a different content than slopchap and a little harder to understand in full. I am happy you are on that path and that I can be of help.
Marry Christmas and happy Holidays first of all. Realy enjoying this series of colour theory. One of the best i found so far. Do you already know when the next part is coming?
I am on it, but can not give you a date yet as I am working as a one man army over here and RUclips is not my highest priority when it comes to my self-employment as a miniature artist. I teach a lot and paint, RUclips comes as a side hobby. Thank you for your feedback and patience!
Just discovered your channel and very impressed! Your color theory ( CMY K=Black & White) is the same I used in the commercial printing company I owned. Would you agree with me that the ready made (recipe) colors are similar to what I would used the Pantone Matching System in printing?
@@alaingay thanks for the heads up. Will check asap. I am sure because of the recent homepage move. In all that chaos I did not think of the worksheets. Thanks for the eagle eye. Will have it solved no later than tonight
After the last video, I went out and bought artist's acrylic primary colors. I was wondering what are the best black and white to get? I forget the brand, but I can find that out when I get home
Vallejo GAME colour black. And the pure white from Vallejo MODEL colour, whatever it's name is. That's just one opinion, though, and it's 9 years old. There might be better ones, but I'm not one to leave a good question unanswered for long.
@@needfoolthings I'm looking for artists acrylics. I could just use my Monument paints, but I want to keep everything the same consistency. Thanks for the reply though. I appreciate it
Roman: I personally prefer the Schmincke Titanium White and a matte Black by the german company Kreul. Golden is good too I heard. I all Fairness I do not think there is the best. It is a matter of personal Taste and you and only you can figure that out by painting with different ones.
@@timothythorne9182 In artists acrylics you have a chance of codified naming which makes it easier. As Roman said, for white you're looking for Titanium as opposed to zinc white.
I'm 6 minutes in and I've heard hue and value being interchangeably used a couple times, though this is not correct. If English isnt your first language, this might be a translation error? Typically (in English), hue is used to describe the actual color (red, blue, yellow, etc) and value is used to describe the lightness or darkness of the hue.
Roman: Thank you very much for the feedback. No english is not my first language and it seems there is a translation issue going on with my tired translating brain. Thank you for the clarification. I am going to put this in clear context in the next episode. Many thanks!
@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART , English isnt my first language either, so I understand. You should be commended for speaking English so well tho. And great job on the video: lots of fantastic info once again.

This is the most valuable video series on art I've ever seen. You're making it click in a way my art teacher never could. Thanks Roman 😎
Lovel, to hear. Arigato!
Thank you! I've just watched this at work and can't wait to get home to get brush in hand. It made a new connection for me: I now know why my paint water turns varying shades of gray.
Roman: Yay! This is what this is for!
This has to be my favorite series of yours! Thanks for doing these Roman!
Roman: A pleasure! More to come!

Thank you for enjoying and taking the time to comment. This supports the channel and is truely appreciated! Keep on happy painting!
Excellent explanation of color theory. I'm learning quite a bit and look forward to PT. 3
Roman: Happy to hear! Thanks for your patience for the next part!

I think they are! Or the perception of complementary colors is why we enjoy sunsets so much :)
Roman, this series is spectacular. Thank you sir!

This is perfection. Thank you.
