Manipulating Color - Color Theory for Painters, Episode 2
In this video we will visualize what happens when we mix colors together. Using strips of colored paper, we learn how to mix both BRIGHT and DULL secondaries and also the scientific reason why they look the way they do. We also learn how to mix NEUTRALS, and how to neutralize (dull down) a bright color. This video is meant for beginning painters. We will define art terms and concepts as we go along. This video teaches the underlying theory of color for paint mixing so that when we get our paints out, we will understand what we’re doing.
This is the second video in an educational series about Color Theory. These mini-lessons are meant for those just beginning their art journey. I used to teach art in an elementary school, and while these videos are geared for adults, I still believe in teaching art using everyday English; explaining art terms as we go. We will build our knowledge of color bit by bit until we reach our end goal--to be able to use color effectively in paintings.
This video builds on the information learned in the previous video, “Understanding Color – Color Theory Episode 1”. Trust me, you will get so much more out of this video if you watch Episode 1 first!
