I have watched over hundred videos on youtube about color scheme but nowhere I could find such an informative teaching on how to use color scheme. Thank you so much dear Dianne.
🤗 Another wonderful tip that works right on with what I am dealing with as a student of oil! I CAN NOT BE MORE THANKFUL!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I did NOT understand the color relationships on the color wheel. I have a great wheel, what wheels do not explain is exactly what you explained today! OMGosh, it's like the world just opened up again...It's one thing to see your wheel, it's another thing to understand what all of that means. You are a gift Diane, we are blessed that you are here to share this with us!
You're a true colour boss! Thank you so much for delving so deep into the tetrad colour scheme. So to paraphrase, if you want to neutralise you can use the complimentary of a colour (across on the colour wheel) if you want to adjust the temperature, you can use the adjacent colour in the colour wheel. So you've got everything you need within the scheme... assuming you can find the right value. I feel like I now have enough knowledge to give it a go. Time to get cracking on my homework then! #cantwaitfortheweekendsoicanpaint :)
Why audience who are watching such great experiential videos ...emerging from such great artist don't ask more questions!!!! Don't miss this opportunity....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for that, sujanith. But among the 274 Quick Tips we have currently have available on RUclips, we do get many questions -- enough to keep new Quick Tips coming.
Great tip. I had so idea..this brings so much information, so much clarity. What an amazing fullness of palette...how rich seeing this color mixing instead of just endlessly trying to get a color. It opens up a world of color mixing. Thank you so much..
You are such an amazing teacher.! Your ability to explain technical processes is fantastic. I never took art classes and sometimes it's really difficult to understand whole concepts from an art tutorial. You have the ability to make that happen. Thank You.
Thanks Dianne for the wonderful tutorial ...all your instructional videos are very informative and teach us a lot. You are the best and the prettiest artist ever....love you....
I love your quick tips! Wondering if you could explore an open impressionism painting in the style of Erin Hanson. I love her paintings but can't imagine or envision the colors that she uses when looking at a landscape. Can you help? I've been binging you quick tips. Thanks for all the work you do. :)
Someone else asked for that a couple days ago (or was that you?). I've put this on our filming schedule to be published in late July or early August. Thanks for the request.
Hello Dianne, I am very grateful to have watched all your video...I learned a lot and I see my color mixing improved so much...cant wait to see your next teaching
thank you Diane, I feel as if the "scales" have dropped from my eyes (mind) I found this so helpful in getting me to understand. Thank you for all your help!
Excellent information. I may have to try this with my next painting. I have tried the Zorn Palette and it worked beautifully. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent explanation! This Tip is one of my favourites! It is amazing how the tetrad scheme uses all the hues in the colour wheel. So now I am puzzled....if a painter were to use all of the hues found in the colour wheel, would the painting be harmonious? Would you please explain why or why not? Thank you
It all depends upon how the light rays are striking it, what colors are bouncing back into the shadow areas and whether there is direct light or overcast.
Ma'am I really love your useful content. Each lesson is an eye opener. I request you to please make playlist of each section; like color and value, light and shadow, shapes and forms, planes etc. This way it will be easier for us to access you. Thank you
Thank you, Sameeha. Your request is not an easy one. Currently, we do have a list of all the Quick Tips in consecutive order from when we began them in 2015 to now. You can find that list at ruclips.net/user/IntheStudioArtInstructioncommunity
help Dianne - my glass palette has so much glare because of the overhead lighting in my studio (which I cannot adjust or change) that it is virtually impossible to see color mixing. Do you think 'non glare' glass is an option? Does the plastic palette you use also have glare? Any recommendations? Thank you.
I really learn a lot from your quick tips. Have you done any about painting trees in front of a house? I am attempting a painting of my home and I can’t get the trees right.
It's all about observation. Go to the main channel-- In the Studio Art Instruction -- then click on "Community" in the menu section where you will find an index of all the Quick Tips. Scroll down and watch those about ways to construct a painting. I think you will find your answers there.
Dianne, you are an amazing teacher! I watch you pretty much every day 😊. Would we apply this same concept to acrylic? If so, what is the best way to keep the paint on the palette damp?
All painting principles apply to all painting media. We just adjust the technical part of the medium. One way to use this approach with acrylics is to work with Open acrylics. Another is to keep the acrylics damp with a fine mist sprayer. Acrylic painters might also have other suggestions.
when do we get to see you do a painting ...it doesn't have to be a lg piece just an hour or two ….walk us through your process from notan to finish would be great
I can tell you here how to do that. Get yourself a battery powered LED light that you can attach to the top of your easel, something like the one shown here on Amazon -- www.amazon.com/RIGHTAWAY-Brightness-Cordless-Rechargeable-Protection/dp/B07TCPL72Y/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=DB7M7AL4GQ30&dchild=1&keywords=battery+powered+led+reading+light&qid=1590323506&sprefix=battery+powered+LED+readin%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUkpUUTFUTzdSSEJWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTc3OTIwMjBENlFNSjRQNEwwTCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzcyMzQwMTU4QkIzMTZDMEo2NSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Can you please clear one thing? how many layers of colours can be applied on a particular part of a painting like trees to avoid mixing of colours?...& when to stop & know that it's right & enough?... Thank you!💐
David, I'm assuming your talking about the glazing system. If so, you judge by the results. There's an article that might enlighten you at www.essentialvermeer.com/technique/technique_glazing.html My advice is to not avoid mixing color. Mixing is one of the most important tools an artist has. It is the combination of the opaque mixtures and the transparent glazes that give the best results. Even when you are glazing, you are optically mixing one transparent color over another. As to how many layers of color you can apply--the fewer, the better, else you begin to get muddy color.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you for clearing my confusion and clarifying the rest!🙂 I'm glad that I have found you! you are the best you tube art instructer!👍Thank you so much Dianne! take care and stay blessed!💐
🙏 ...why will artist study the tetrad or any colour study if we are just copying the reference? We could just mix colours whatever is seen in the reference and paint......Is this very important when artist composes seeing real life or nature? My question might be very naive...I apologize if upsets
Yes, it is important for a realistic painter to study and observe nature, but when we learn the science of color, we make more informed choices about interpreting nature rather than just making a copy of it. Not only that, but knowing the science will enable us to see more accurately the colors we are interpreting. Learning to use color schemes - triads, tetrads, complementary, etc - is learning a portion of the science of color that enables the artist to interpret and achieve color harmony. Not only that, but knowing the science enables us to construct stronger compositions and gives us more freedom to create.
Great teaching, difficult subject to completely comprehend for beginners. I am not a complete beginner and it’s still hard, and I haven’t tried to literally do it, hands on. But, I can understand? what the questioner may have been referring to when she mentioned’ the scheme was not harmonious? The initial ‘colors’ you chosen to use are very important, the first 4 - relative to each other and with the group of 4. The different Color names, brands, trans, semitrans, oplaque, are can cause problems. That’s another reason why color and colors theories are so hard to learn as your trying to develop color themes in paintings and getting the painting pleasing to the eye. Your last statement covered my commentary, that artists need to be satisfied with what colors they are achieving and able to finish their painting with. Great teacher hard lesson /color is a true science And then Science says we do not all see the same color - and then they say there is no real color at all. What?
Thanks for this discussion, Constance. I think that anything can become a muddle when it becomes too complex. If we back off and break down concepts to their smallest components, it can often give us clarity. The way I look at seeing color is that no matter what labels are on tubes or how many generic names there are for "color", the smallest components that (as far as I can see) are universal come down to hues, how they change when other hues are added to them, and how they change according to their values.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction true - for me as a beginner all the various shades of colors made it harder for me to understand, and when I wasn’t able to relate to the warmer and cooler concepts and how to achieve those aspects. It took me some time to see a gray cloud, as actually a mauve color, and then how to get to the color I truly seen. Color is very complex for me. Do you do offer any step by step tutorials, on landscape paintings in oil classes? Thanks for responding.

Adorable and informative. Even though I work in watercolour I learn SO MUCH from your videos--thank you so much!
You are so welcome. The medium doesn't matter when it comes to principles and for the most part, I try to stick to explain principles in these Tips.
The best clarification! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Have been painting for years. I love this. Keeps from having multiple colors on the palette.
Way to go.
Excellent explanation! This Tip is one of my favourites!
It is amazing how the tetrad scheme uses all the hues in the colour wheel.
So now I am puzzled....if a painter were to use all of the hues found in the colour wheel, would the painting be harmonious? Would you please explain why or why not? Thank you
Not if they are all visible, Deb. It's how they mix together that gives the harmony.
Thank you Dianne, great to have all this information here !
I hope you find it useful in your painting.
excellent tutorial. Thanks
Glad you liked it
what a very good memo ! very educative. thanks a lot
Thanks!
Precious! Thank you, Dianne
Thank you! 😊
Great explanation! If there was a vert red barn in the original would you need to make it a different color?
It all depends upon how the light rays are striking it, what colors are bouncing back into the shadow areas and whether there is direct light or overcast.
