How to Mix Shadows & How to take a Bright Color and Tone It Down
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- By understanding the color wheel, we can take any color and make a convincing, naturalistic shadow. We can use the same principle to take any color and tone it down a bit or lower the chroma.
In the color mixing demonstration, I show chromium oxide green and phthalocyanine green (yellow shade) to demonstrate how single pigment colors inherently have a higher chroma or lower chroma. Chroma is the term for color that is equivalent to saturation. It's how bright or intense a color is.
Then using a cadmium red light hue and a pyrrole red, we mix the two together to get a third shade of red. I suggest lightening any color first with a lighter version of the color before you reach for white which will make the color a pastel or even sometimes chalky.
Next I show the color wheel and demonstrate how to find the complement of any color by looking opposite the color on the color wheel.
When I'm mixing shadows, I use the complementary color. So I show how to mix a shadow of the red by adding it's opposite on the wheel - green.
This was filmed at Solano College in Fairfield California on February 13, 2014 in the class of Professor Jeanne Lorenz.

After all of these years of mixing colors I am still amazed at how it all works. I LOVE color. Thanks for the video, Michele.
Mo
Literally the explanation I needed to watch just made its way into my feed.
I love it when things work out like that! 🙌
every time she does a video of her groups, I always pause the payback to read whats on the board or whats written on other panels ... always eager to learn what she's teaching people live.
Thank you so much for putting this Video out! It was so informative! I'm a beginner an this helped me so much!
Such an important video, especially to self-taught painters, a revelation in understanding the importance of the colour wheel. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
She have artist vibes!! 👌🏻
Wow, this is amazing, I have been using black and white to tone colors, but the idea of adding color of the opposite to tone down the color is so helpful. Thanks a lot.
You are so welcome. I hope you love the results!
Editing. It's a wonderful thing....
I love watching you play, paint and teach, truly blissful.
Anthony William Rich Jr Oh my gosh, Anthony! What a nice thing to say. Thank you!
@@MicheleTheberge The Pleasure is all mine, YVW!
You have such a positive vibe in all your videos it's soothing & informative all at the same time !
Dhiraj Shetty thanks!
Really helpful. Thank you. I'm about to dive into a painting that is strictly complimentary red and green. This is just what I needed to see.
excellent teacher as well as pleasing personality. Best regards
Thank you this was so helpful
Beautiful explanation! and then to see the map of my country on the wall was really something ❣️
Amazing
Hope you try it! It was a game changer for me!
Cool tip on how to darken a color (just use the opposite on the color wheel) but what ways do you LIGHTEN a color? This would be so helpful for me! Thanks in advance.
add light... add white !
On the color wheel, the lighter color that is located next to the color you want to lighten (plus white in case you require). For example: For lighten orange, use a little bit of yellow.
Thank you very much great video.
My fave video so far
Wow! Thank you so much!
Fantastic 👍
Thanks!
I can't quite see the colour Red being less intense when you added Green. It just looks like a reddish light brown shade to me, not a less bright Red. Anyway, liked the info about the Colour Wheel.
A 'reddish light brown' is in fact less intense than a bright red.
Finally I knowww !!! Thank you it's really useful :D
really really helpful video but I had to turn it up to full volume to hear it
And put a minute amount on the pallet halo and viridian green
The content is good and the presentation informative and friendly but the audio quality......?????
It was probably from a camcorder.
Love your video. where can I get that big colorwheel?
30 years painting!!!!? you must've started when you were like 2 years old then?
Trivia Studios 😆 that’s what I keep trying to tell myself!
hehe, great work Michele!
Haha
map of italy, great
Michele Theberge Hi, how is the key to darken and light a color? Thanks
when do i use the colour above or below my color.that is imediately next to my colour
What would you use as a bass on glass to make your acrylic paint go on easier?
For proper adhesion, glass needs to be sandblasted. Or you could try painting on plexiglas and sand it first with sandpaper.
Also there are special craft paints that do adhere to glass. Such as the Pebeo Vitria amzn.to/2ysGxmu
I couldn't hear what the first red was. Some kind of crimson?
So, we don't add black to the color that we want to make it darker? We choose some other fitting colors to tone it down? Is there any list of all of it? So, we don't use black to tone it down right? Anyone.
You just look across the color wheel. Do you have a color wheel? What I am suggesting here is to always use the colored directly opposite to tone it down. Give it a try! And see what you think. And then compare it with toning it with Black. You can always do it your own way if you like black better! You’re the artist it’s your painting. You make the rules!💪😊
I wanted to see the yellow :(
May I ask what paint you are using? It looks like Richeson
It was Liquitex Heavy Body in this particular video.
why is the camera so warpy?
Couldn't hear what you were saying
im in pain seeing her squeezing a lot of paint
I feel you! When I first started teaching I felt the same way! I couldn't conceive of squeezing that much out. But when you think of all the people the video has reached it's only a microdot of paint per person!😂
@@MicheleTheberge indeed, the paints are all wrth it 😂

BIG CLUE, No Color Theory There is a science to color theory what the great masters understood. To admit she does not get into color theory shows her ignorance.
Hey Paul! It's funny! I AM actually teaching color theory here. I discuss hue, value, chroma, saturation. I am teaching how to mix, discussing the color wheel and complementary colors. I also know the Munsell Color system which is very rarely taught in the US. In addition I have studied and taught the work of Josef Albers. In my college color lectures I even talked about the electromagnetic spectrum and the visible light. I also teach about the molecular properties of paint and how it affects it's working properties. I LOVE science! I probably take for granted after painting for 40 years that I do use it. But I don't belabor it in my classroom. We all have different approaches to painting and to color mixing.
In my experience students can get too caught up in theory and fearful of experimenting and trying out their own ideas. It is only by doing this that we are able to innovate. Otherwise we can get stuck retreading others ideas and lose out on the unique qualities and experience only each of us can offer.
And I cannot agree with you that I am ignorant. I have 3 college degrees - a BA, BFA and an MFA. I love the European painting tradition and have enormously benefited from the study of the works of the great masters. I have had the fortune to see in person more many times some of the greatest examples of European painting at museums all over North America and Europe. Sorry to hear you are feeling the need to be critical of others today. I have spent 10 years sharing my knowledge here on RUclips as a labor of love and I am glad millions of viewers have benefited from what I have shared. If you have a specific question you feel was not answered here, I am always happy to hear! Sending love and positive thoughts your way! Happy painting to you! I hope you find all that you seek.
