Thank you for explainwarm and cool colors in a way that I can say, "I GET IT!", noone has ever done such a good job at making it so clear. Hats off to you!
I am so happy to hear that, Debra, thank you!
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Kellen Jaxtyn Instablaster :)
@Major Beckett thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Major Beckett it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
The only TH-cam video that explained such an important concept!! Thank you soooo much for this.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Shibani! I am happy if what I tried to explain made any sense!
This has been the most help I have ever found in trying to get certain colors. I have spent so much money buying paints to just find the color I was searching for. After watching this, I went and bought 3 warm and 3 cool primary colors. I will swatch them and I’m now confident I can mix exactly what I’m looking. Thank you so much!
I am so happy that my video could be of help, Tanya! Sometimes the best way is to go 'back to basics'. I am convinced that once you get used to how each warm and cool colour interact with each other, there is no colour you can not mix!
My goodness … how am I just now discovering your videos! So informative … tysm for your content
The best explanation of cool and warm colours that I’ve seen!!! Like the other comment said I get it now !!! Thank you so much for sharing your gift of teaching with us. Looking forward to watching all that you have to offer.
I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Brilliant!...you made this very clear and encourages me to do my own mixing of my palette colors. 💟
Thank you for your detailed explanations. Please continue to upload videos. I really enjoy your turtorials.
Excellent explanation of colors!!❤ Thank you so much!
This is THE BEST (hands down) explanation of warm/cool and mixing colors. Thanks you so much!!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your demonstration..it is the first time it has made sense to me!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you, Chris!
This is the video I’ve been looking for to learn more about colour mixing and temperature. Thank you so much for your explanations!! ❤ you’re a life saver
Thank you, I am so happy if my video could be of help!
Thank you so much!! This is the best video I have ever seen about cool and warm colours 🎉
Thank you, Mirjam! I am so happy the video could be of help!
Excellent explanation!! This has helped me so much. Just discovered you today! I’m so glad!
Ohh. Just what I wanted to know all this while. Thanks, keep up the good work 👌🏻
I am so happy if it could be of help!
Really Jenny, I have been looking for this kind of explaination for a long time, your youtube is the greatest I have seen, thanks a lot, I will keep that all my life. Happy that you exist!!!!
Thank you, Carolle, that is so sweet of you to say so! Thank you so much for watching!
“When dividing up the colours between warm and cool ....it has nothing to do with temperature or how we perceive the colours”. This one statement has made everything clear for me. Every time they talk about warm and cool colours they say warm colours are reds, yellows and oranges, cool colours are blues, greens and purples. Then they tell you that ultramarine blue is a warm colour! I have been baffled by this and you are the only person to explain it! Thank you so very much!
I’m happy that my video could be of help! I was also confused about how many artists talk about warm and cool colours until I did my own research of the colour wheel. I had a great art tutor when I started painting who pointed me in the right direction though by teaching us to always mix our own colours so that we know what is in a mixture, and that way avoid suprises.
Thank you for being so generous.
I'm so happy if my video could be of use!
You have explained this perfectly Jenny ! Thank you so much for the color theory :)
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
I've looked at some of your work and you are talented. Yeah that doesn't say much, does it? You use hues that are synchronous across the work, your subjects are fantastic and you really pay attention to detail whether realism or abstract or a combination of them both. Congrats. You are worthy of your calling. Not many can say that. Best regards, John. (Ontario Canada)
Thank you, John, so much for your kind comment. And informative, I might add, it's an absolute pleasure to hear 'why' you like my work. I grew up in Finland, and my favourite season was winter when everything was stripped bare. All colours became harmonious with each other, and I think that has influenced the colour choices in my art more than I knew. I wish you a beautiful day, Jenny
Your explanation is definitely very useful for a beginner to understand the cool and warm colour! Thanks for your sharing!
I am so happy you think so!
Congratulations for the quality of the content. Not only shows you have knowledge of the subject, but also shows you were very well prepared to pass this knowledge on. Great teaching skill. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, Karina, and I am happy that my video could be useful! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much. After watching several of your videos about colour mixing I watched a landscape video, but this time, I didn't see what colours were used but if they were cool or warm and also if they were muddy or clean. 😌You have changed the way I feel and see watercolour. I'm from Spain and I don't speak English very well though, I do understand you. You are great!🤗
Thank you so much, that makes me so happy to hear that my videos could be of help!
Thank you so much for this interesting video, everything is so well explained 😉
Thank you, Diana, I am so happy you think so!
This is SO helpful! Clear explanation - I've immediately created such a wheel for myself! Thanks!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you!
A hidden gem! This is the best explanation of warm & cool colors I have ever heard! (And I have a degree in Fine Arts). Jenny is clear, thorough and understandable. Her examples and color charts are fantastic! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, Mary, for your lovely comment! I am so happy you enjoyed my video.
Thank you
Just the information I was looking for. Incredibly helpful. Thank you thank you thank you!
I'm so happy that you found it useful, Catherine!
this was amazing! thank you!!!
fantastic! Thanks ❤
This has been a great help. I have ordered a palette for Christmas and will now sit down and look through each of my water colour tubes sorting them as warm or cool or both. Blessing to you, you did a great job describing this.
Thank you so much, Joanne, I am happy I could be of help!
New to your channel. I love colors and I’ve been interested in learning more about mixing them to see how the different colors affect each other. Learning about dyeing and double dyeing clothing and I saw your video on mixing colors.. Loving what I see so far!
Thank you, that makes me so happy to hear!
This is a fabulous resource. Thanks a million.
You are most welcome, I am happy you liked it!
Så bra video och du förklarar så bra Jenny!! Tack så mycket!! Ha en bra vecka och sköt om dig! Kram!
Tack Mona! Ha en underbar vecka du också! ❤️
Excellent explanation and demonstration. Thank you so much. 😊
I'm very happy to hear that, thank you!
This is a FANTASTIC tutorial!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you, Joelle, I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Excellent!!! Tnak you very much!!! Best from Buenos Aires!!!
Thank you, I am happy you enjoyed it!
Perfect! Loved your explanation and mixing demo!
I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for watching!
I made this color chart. Very useful video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you for watching!
I come back to this video over and over. Seriously one of my favorites, and I haven’t found anything else like it!
That makes me so happy to hear, thank you! I have had a couple of great art teachers that put me in the 'right' direction of research and discovery, so I am happy to share what I learned a long the way. I think it is so important to understand colour when you are doing any kind of art.
This was a very helpful tutorial. It was clear simple to understand and very useful. I can’t wait to make my color swatches. Thank you so much for all your help.
Very good explanation and demo. Thank you Jenny
I’m happy you liked it!
Thank you for the explanation! Color mixing theory is so different from the usual way we describe colors, this is a Great help! I will be looking to your channel again. Beautiful presentation, Jenny!
Yes it is, and the confusing bit is that we often use the same terminology for different things. Warm and cool colours in painting a landscape is different from warm and cool colours in actual colour mixing on your palette. I'm so glad that my video could be of use! Thank you.
Thank you so much. I cannot put into words how helpful this is. I only recently discovered that its not just about primary colours, but tonal range and how this influences colour mixes. I had no idea why my colours were muddy until now. Discovered my schmincke pallet had all the necessary cool and warm primary colours to create your colour chart and experimented with creating warm and cool secondary colours. Both fun and informative.
I am so happy my video could be of help! Thank you so much for watching!
Wow!! You have explained this so well. Thank you so much for sharing this
Thank you, I am so happy that you enjoyed the video!
You made this color theory so interesting and easy to understand. I have truly learned a lot! I really appreciate such high quality teaching without the high cost usually accompanying it. And I love you accent, thanks so much! I look foward to watching many more of your videos.
Thank you so much for your comment, Sandra. I'm so happy if my video could be of help. This is information I wished I had learned in art school. but I didn't. It's just information I have picked up from other artists along the way for the last 25 years. 😁
Thank you so much for this excellent video. A very clear explanation of the way colours work and so interesting. I haven't been watercolour painting for very long and I now understand why I could not get the correct green or grey!
I look forward to watching your other videos.
Thank you, Pamela, I am happy if my video could be of use!
Excellent explainer. Thank you!
I'm happy to hear that, thank you!
I have watched so many colour theory videos and remained confused. Your explanation and charts were so helpful and gave me an “aha” moment, thank you! I will now try rearrange my paints into a palette and label them warm or cool 😊
That makes me so happy to hear, thank you!
After watching lot of videos I found only this video which cleared all of my doubts thanks a lot ❤❤❤ 😊
Thank you, that makes me happy to hear!
Brilliant tutorial, so well explained. Thanks
I'm happy to hear that, thank you!
Excellent. Very informative! Thank You.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you! This is really helpful!
Thank you, I am happy you found it helpful!
Great! Thankyou!
Thank you for watching!
I’m learning so much from you! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge. Your charming accent makes me feel like I’m having coffee with a brilliant professor. Learning from you and relaxing with you. I enjoy your company. 🙂
That makes me so happy to hear, Thank you so much!
Last week I became so frustrated trying to create a pale purple blue for mountains in the distance. Today I found it on my new warm red card in the row mixed with cold blue. Exactly where you promised I would find it! Who knows what I’ll be able to do once I create cards for neutrals!
I was so sad last week...after spending a lot of time on a village sketch, I used a couple of colors that were muddy for the shadow side of houses and it ruined it. So I decided to paint some little vignettes to cheer me up. That’s when I couldn’t mix the right pale gray/blue/purple.
I’m a happy painter again! A beginner, but a happy one.

@@urbanbeachbum2148 Yes, mixing the right colours can be tricky if you do not understand how colours mix together( the warm vs cool versions of the primaries), especially today when we have sooo many colours and pigments to choose from. The only way is to put some effort into it and actually mix all the colours that you have with each other, and that way learn how they behave. I love doing colour charts, not only do I always learn something new, but I find it quite meditative as well. I am so happy that you found my video useful, thank you, Sandy!
Thank you, that helped a lot!
I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, very well explained 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm happy you think so, thank you!

Baie dankie ❤
THANK YOU!
Thank you for watching!
end musics burst my eardrums. now i know how Vincent felt.
I must have forgotten to edit the volume for the end music. I only use my computer’s speakers, and it didn’t sound too loud on them, but I guess it can differ on other devices. I’m sorry!
jenny you had a lovely voice.
Thank you, Mart!
Thank you very much 🙏🏻 💕Although my language isn’t English but I watch your videos more than once because your channel is very useful. I enjoy watching and practicing what I learn from your channel. I want to make a color chart and the color wheel with oil colors. May you help me and tell me the names of the colors shades , especially yellow and red?
I am so happy that you find my videos useful! I use almost the exact same colours in oil painting as I do in watercolour. The names might be a little different, but the principle is the same to have a warm and a cool version of each colour. The 'base' colours I use in oil colours to make up a similar colour wheel are warm yellow: cadmium yellow medium. Cool yellow: permanent lemon yellow. Warm red: scarlet. Cool red: Quinacridone rose or permanent madder deep. Warm blue: ultramarine blue. Cool blue: phtalo blue greenish.I did film a beginner's video for oil colours where I show a colour wheel I did with oil colours. I will link to it here, and the colour wheel section is around 22 min into the video: th-cam.com/video/1pIrfjcx19I/w-d-xo.html
I hope that helps!
This was the most helpful video I have seen for understanding color theory and mixing colors!! Thank you sooooo much! One question, when you were showing your color charts and how you swatch out the colors you can achieve from each palette, why are there so many colored rows?
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Nancy! Every time I buy new paints, I not only swap the colours themselves, but I make these mixing charts where I mix every colour with each other. So if I have a new palette, I start with for example my lemon yellow colour, and I mix that with every other colour in my palette. So every row shows me what kind of mixes I can achieve when mixing my lemon yellow with my warm yellow in different ratios, then the lemon yellow with my ultramarine blue in different ratios and so on. I do these mixing charts one for every colour. That way, when I am looking for a specific colour, I have these 'cheat sheets' to refer to, and know at a glance what colours to mix with what colours for the desired colour I want. I hope that helped?
So what I’m getting is, any dark colors of the color wheel are warm, while light colors are always cool? My head is trying to wrap around all this info 😅
And adding yellow to every color makes it warmer, right?
Hi Joann. (Sorry for my late reply, it has been a busy start to the year.) It depends on what you see as light or dark colours, and adding yellow does not make a color warmer. The term 'warm' or 'cool' colours is very confusing, because it has nothing to do with temperature. When we talk about how we see colours in the landscape, then red and yellow are both warm, and blue is cool. This has to do with the wave length of the colours and how they travel through distance. Red don't travel well at all, yellow a little better, and blue travels very well. That is why distant hills and mountains always seem to have a bluish tint to them, even if you 'know' that they are green. I guess that the term' warm' comes from our association with red and yellow to the sun and fire. Blue is associated with water and sky, and therefore the term became 'cool'. But when it comes to colour mixing, the term warm and cool has a totally different meaning. Again, it has nothing to do with temperature, it is just a way to describe the properties of the colour, and where they sit on the colour wheel. Not every colour is equal, or the same. You have yellow, and you have yellow... You know what I mean. There is the yellow that is like a lemon, with more or less a greenish tint to it. Then you have yellow like an orange, with a reddish tint to it. The orange yellow is 'warm' (it sits towards the red on the colour wheel) and lemon yellow is cool as it sits towards the blue on the colour wheel). You have red like a tomato, this is a 'warm' red ( sits towards the yellow on the colour wheel) and you have reds like carmine that has a purple tint to it, these reds are 'cool' and sits towards the blue on the colour wheel. The blue colours are the most difficult to determine just by the looks of them, and these you just have to learn to recognise. Blue with purple tints in them are 'warm', like ultramarine ( sits towards the red on the colour wheel) and the blue with a greenish tint in them are 'cool' and sits towards the yellow on the colour wheel. These are blues like prussian blue, turquoise and so on. So to get clean colour mixes, you need to choose the colours that lean towards eachother on the colour wheel. This is to eliminate that you don't have any of the 'third' colour in your mix, because as you know yellow, red and blue together becomes brown. So for a clean purple you want only blue and red, and no yellow. You achieve this by choosing a blue colour with a red tint to it, (warm blue) and a red with a purple tint to it, (cool red). This way you don't get any yellow in your mix, and your purple will be 'pure' and appear clean. I guess a more proper naming for colours when it comes to colour mixing would be to not use the terms 'warm' and 'cool' at all as they are so misleading, but describe the colours as 'redish-blue' and 'greenish-blue' and so on. I hope this helps? It is difficult to explain.
@@JennyMoedKorpelaArtohh, it makes a little more sense with this explanation. Thank you!
I think this was a very good explanation, but such a pity I can hardly hear you...
I am sorry you had a problem hearing me. The volume is ok on my computer when I checked, maybe it is not as good on other devices? Thank you so much for watching, Corinne.
I would like your video more if your hands didn't cover up your beautiful color chart so much. Maybe just a thin pointer and leave your hands out of it.
Thank you for the tip, I will take that into consideration when I start making videos again.
