Thanks for commenting, Richie! Glad to hear they're a help. I've been very behind on uploading demos to show the application of this info, but I'm trying to get my in-studio classes revamped and Covid-friendly for October. Once I get in the groove, I intend to post videos every other week applying all this information to still life, landscape, and portrait painting. Stay tuned.
@@NeilsonCarlin I second richie! so so useful this info, not everyone can afford the proper books so this helps allot. I am working through the chroma charts but putting them onto chips like the books, taking a long time lol.
Neilson, thank you so much for the great string of "Making Your Tools "videos, I have seen them all and I learned a lot. I thank you once again. Two questions on this last video: First, I could not understand how you know exactly what is the maximum chroma for a particular color as it comes out of the tube?, and secondly, how do you establish the number of steps back (in chroma) for each hue as you add white to increase the value or a darker color to decrease the value? For example, in some cases, you move one step back and in other cases, you move 2 or 3 steps so it is hard to follow the logic. This part is not clear to me, so I wonder if you could explain it in more detail, if possible, more technically. Thanks for your kindness. Oscar
Oscar, thanks for the question. The reason i stick primarily with Gamblin colors for my classes are their accessibility, low cost, and the fact that they have a web page giving Munsell designations for thier colors! I'll explain a bit more over my lunch break today. Thanks for the question. My apology for the tardy reply.
Your videos are wonderful, thankyou! It’s incredibly generous of you to share all this knowledge. Just one question, how do you know which chroma level to put each of the tube paints eg 16 for cad orange, 8 for phthalo green etc?
Hi. I tried understanding the step back of chroma but could not get it. My question is when to decide the step back of chroma. It will be a pleasure to here from you. Thank you
Good evening, Shahbaz! Thanks for the question. I mix the most chromatic value first, then just try to visually compare the chroma of the values above and below. In other words, it's just a best guess on my part. The Munsell company makes a huge book with all the chroma chips for each hue so exact matches can be made, but since the price tag is $900, I'll just stick with educated guesses!
Been waiting for a detailed lesson on these Munsell charts forever. Thank you very much!
