Ngl I literally fell apart when I read this comment like my hIGHEST GOAL is to actually get an art teacher to approve of my videos so really THANK YOU!!!
We like visual more really haha and less talk so that we can really see how to use it Saying this as a student (im not supposed to be here and i dont know what i am doing)
I really like how you've explained this. Lots of interesting academic stuff and also an encouragement to experiment and try new things. I wish my art teachers at school had been more like you!
I recommend you for everyone like seriously I struggle with this a lot and this is the best video so far and all your other videos are lifesavers as well this is what I’ve been looking for
Alright i've only watched 1:10 of this video and I got here so quickly because I have you on notifications. With that being said Its a huge coincidence that I was in the middle of writing notes about the color wheel and their relationships and the difference between Chroma and Saturation for my color theory class trying to figure out if this is going to be really useful to me at all.
Hi Biana, I'm trying to improve my art as I've never really put effort into it and I've suddenly found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I've done formal courses in loads of art-based niches (textiles, interior design etc) and I'm bloody sick of the colour wheel but still don't feel happy when I throw colours together. I forced myself to watch this video because I know it's an area I need to improve on. My god I'm so glad I did. I love your videos and your teaching. I'm going to be watching all your videos in my self made curriculum. I can't wait. I'm off to go watch your colour theory 2 video which 15 minutes ago I could never imagine myself wanting to do. You're awesome!
I can't thank you enough. You made understanding color theory (which in itself is such an intimidating aspect of art to learn) and really made it understandable and more importantly, click and make some damn sense. I've been studying the color wheel and all the different color schemes, and nothing ever stuck with me. I'd find I would constantly have to go re read/re watch because all those fancy terms and confusing ways to harmonize color and blah blah ..they did not have any impact on me. Sometimes with art teaching others and trying to help does not require a "professional" description with all the correct names and all. It works for some yes, but for me no which made me feel hopeless. So a huge thank you for taking the time to make this video. :)
I just started actually coloring my drawings and this was actually really helpful. I love watching your videos. I think they're done really well and I hope you keep uploading frequently!
Please do some coloring videos! Maybe some that are just colored pencil? + I also love your "Draw This Again" video please please do more of those!! You're an amazing artist btw and one of my new inspirations :)
This is seriously one of the most helpful and concise resources for understanding color theory IMO. Have been an artist my whole life and but haven't thought about things this way :) New sub!
thank you biana! for this video, all of your videos on interiors, and just. thank you so much this is actually something that i feel like i can take and literally apply and then work on and get better. youve provided me with means to learn those fucking things that you know you need to learn and everyone will tell you the words but no one will tell you HOW! and thank you for being just so sweet you seem so sweet and also cool and chill and u stay in ur lane and help others and i APPRECIATE u
You have the best eyebrows. And the color wheel is so unhelpful but helpful and extremely frustrating, but picking limited colors and mixing the colors together to make it cohesive is the easiest way of making everything look good. Very informative Great video!
I can't really get the part of limiting my colors, because they are already limited into the main 5 colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, black and white) and that literally makes every single color in the color wheel. So if I'm mixing the colors how is that called limiting?
at first I was super skeptical but then i thought hmm! I gotta try it today maybe! I think it would go great with markers and i do tend to choose a bit too many of the colours
really helpful stuff. also the storefronts are comin out bomb. Once ur their for a lil longer and have a better feel for it, i'd be curious to hear about the differences b/w art school and university!
Stin!!!! Thank you so much! ;U; And omg I'm hard core holding back rn cause all I want to do is compare Massart and Uconn so no worries, that WILL come out the second the semester is over
I love you :3 I study art school and i can say that this was much helpful than xx hours in class listening to the same s*it about color theory that nobody understands :D
4:37 I know this is an old video, but whatever. You said that if you have 5 colors and mix them, you get 5 x 5 = 25 colors. That's not true. You can't mix color with itself, so 25 has 5 extra, so it's 20. On top of that, half of the 20 are the same, because cyan + magenta is the same as magenta + cyan. So you can get 10 extra colors by mixing 5 different colors. So in the end you have 15 different colors from 5 different color: 5 base ones and 10 by mixing. Of course I've assumed that you are only allowed to mix two colors from the original five in 50%/50% proportions to get another color Anyway, great video c:
I really liked the video and I don't mind how long it was. Starting out with 5 set colors makes a lot of sense. If you included the stages of an actual drawing cut into the visuals it might of helped but I got the idea anyway. :)
You and someone else mentioned that so I think my next vid is just gonna be my complete coloring process (which'll be hilarious cause it takes me literally until the last 15 mins before everything comes together I s2g). So yeah, be on the lookout! :D
mixing 5 colors with each other gives you 15 colors :) 5x5 would mean that mixing a color with itself gives you a new color you also count some pairings twice for 25
i completely agree with pretty much everything you said but i dont think its fair to tell people they "cant" use more than 5 colors or using a 50/50 ratio for complimentary colors looks "bad" . it depends on what someones going for
No that's true, there are no hard and fast rules in color theory and lord knows I've used more than 5 base colors. And the 50/50 rule is really specific to using exactly 50/50 of the pure compliments, like true green and true red. You make your composition equally half those two colors and it WILL look like shit, I'm sticking to that. Thanks for pointing that stuff out, I'll try to be more clear next time :D
Haha, if you start with 5 colors you can mix more than 25 colors. In fact, the total number of colors you can mix is 31, if you ignore the proportion of each color in the mix. Of course, several of these aren't useful (for example, mixing all 5 colors or even 4 of the 5 would probably result in something you'd rather not use).
If my students had a good attention span I would use this video in my art classes. Everything you're saying is gold.

This was probably the most helpful video I have ever seen
Ohmygod thank you!! TuT
I recommend you for everyone like seriously I struggle with this a lot and this is the best video so far and all your other videos are lifesavers as well this is what I’ve been looking for
I'm not even half way through and it's already better than every other video I've seen on color theory
Alright i've only watched 1:10 of this video and I got here so quickly because I have you on notifications.

LMAO that timing!!! 😂

Thank you so much!! I'm really gonna try, I'm getting addicted to making these things xD

Another great video Biana! Thanks for sharing :) oh and those store fronts are looking so beautiful!
Yo, thanks Liina!!
i'm really wanting to explore my interest in art and your videos have really helped me. i'm so excited to grow !!
This is really helpful! I'll be applying all your suggestions to my art. Thanks for another great video :)
You're so welcome, I'm glad you found it so useful! :D
I can't really get the part of limiting my colors, because they are already limited into the main 5 colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, black and white) and that literally makes every single color in the color wheel. So if I'm mixing the colors how is that called limiting?
Yes, girl. Lead the way, love this
I'm crying, this is so helpful! Thank you so much for this! ; v ;
Maria Gutierrez Asdfhhjl thank you!! I worked hard on this one ;u;
at first I was super skeptical but then i thought hmm! I gotta try it today maybe! I think it would go great with markers and i do tend to choose a bit too many of the colours
this was very informative i just wish you could've used color and show us how it works while your explaining it
This video is so helpful for me! I have always struggled using the same palette and this just totally blew me away! Thank you so much ^^
OMG that's awesome!! I'm so glad this helped, have fun experiementing!!!
+Biana Bova i will, thank you!
really helpful stuff. also the storefronts are comin out bomb. Once ur their for a lil longer and have a better feel for it, i'd be curious to hear about the differences b/w art school and university!
Stin!!!! Thank you so much! ;U; And omg I'm hard core holding back rn cause all I want to do is compare Massart and Uconn so no worries, that WILL come out the second the semester is over
Can you make a Watercolor Tutorial? pleasee
This is literally a GOd SEND!! THaNK YOu SO MUCH!!
can u show a little demo of ur color theory in action
You and someone else both asked for that so yeah, I'll get on it! :D
yay
this is hard cold truth and i feel like ive learned from it not just heard this is so healpful
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Just subscribed they are so helpful! Thanks so much!
I love you :3 I study art school and i can say that this was much helpful than xx hours in class listening to the same s*it about color theory that nobody understands :D
If you only use watercolours using flat colours first doesn't work as you can't make things lighter afterwards or only do so on a vary limited scale.
Luna Fowler so you use a light wash :D
Loved you vid, really enjoyed the way you spoke your mind, awesome!!!
Nice Video. I would love to see you actually draw and show some of your techniques.
How is red connected to blue and orange?
i use 4 usually **dabs**
4:37 I know this is an old video, but whatever. You said that if you have 5 colors and mix them, you get 5 x 5 = 25 colors.

Of course I've assumed that you are only allowed to mix two colors from the original five in 50%/50% proportions to get another color
Anyway, great video c:

Thank you for all these info! Great video, as always:)
Thanks!

You are the only one that has to say something 👎🍁💧🇲🇽🏁

Sorry, dear. The information might be good, but I quit your video in a few minutes due to your language.
