- Sharing a short video explaining one way we describe colour when analysing it. How warm or cool it is. I hope I can break this down and show how I use it in my work.

Thanks so much I was struggling especially with cool warm white
Thank you Emma
I love listening to a really talented artist who knows what they are doing! You have explained this very complex and confusing topic so well that even the old hands who have been at the painting game a true breath of fresh air! Thank you Emma, please take care and be safe over there, have a lovely day!
A fascinating subject clearly explained, including the vital tip that colour warmth or coolness is relative. Also, I would never have thought of introducing warm highlights into the cooler ones to prevent the dog from looking too cool overall. Can't wait to try this, which is my response to all of Emma's videos!
You explained the warm/cool tones really well and the dog painting is gorgeous and so lifelike, it’s like he knows how cute he is
Thanks for all your tips and help your work is amazing
wow I dont know what to say you explain this topic so well Ms. Emma. more than what i expect. I will take note of this when i start my 1st pastel. As of now im just preparing my materials. now i understand what is lacking in my previous colored pencil portrait. again thanks so much.
So glad you found this helpful!
Thank you so much
I love your work Emma. I do find the sticks to big for me to use I prefer the pencils. Your colour theory was interesting to listen too and helps me to expand on colour in the shadows.
Great explanation Emma. It’s amazing how we train our eyes to see colour . I see so much more now, than I did a year ago.
Yes it’s incredible ! Everything is so different with time ! The shadows, the distances etc ! It’s a really really great voyage!
Thank you for showing this, that’s the kind of video that keeps us beginners inspired!
cute doggie, excellent art work and verrrrry helpful explanations and tips. thanks from ontario canada
Very useful! Thank you so much!
Hi! Just discovered you today! So happy! I have a Japanese Spitz, she is 08 months old , the Big love of my life! she really looks like your drawing! I would be so happy if I can paint like this one day! Thank you so much for making such amazing valuable videos. Merci Beaucoup!
Thanks for the comments! Really appreciate your feedback on my videos and very glad to hear they will be of help to you. I have the Spitz time-lapse also on my TH-cam channel and longer tutorials all about the fur on my Patreon too. :-)
very helpful and interesting thank you Emma
Love this it was so helpful!
Thank you so much, Emma - it is tricky to pick the right colours, especially in shadow areas, I think! 🎨 You made me look at this from a clearer angle now! ❤And what a gorgeous painting of that stunning dog! 🙏
Super gréât vidéo ! I love listening to you , calm , and very clear! A real great learning moment ! Thanks !
Thank you!
A most useful video Emma as always. A best tip you’ve given us elsewhere is that contrasting tones are as important as using the correct colours ie using lights and darks. All excellent information - many thanks.
Great video. This is very helpful for someone who struggles with warm and cool variations of some colours. Will watch again
You’re an excellent teacher and such a magnificent artist. Thank you, so happy I’ve found your channel !
Your explanations are brilliant. Thank you for sharing.
Emma, you are not only an amazing artist but a wonderful coach. I’m glad I found you and am looking forward to learning a lot from membership on your Patreon. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world 🙏
Thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm just trying to share what I've picked up over the years in a way I would have understood it myself :-)
Wow amazing artwork thank you for sharing to tips 😊
Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips! I've struggled with these very issues, especially the ones that are considered neutral.
What an eye opener. I got the purples totally wrong. I called the vivid one warm. Another thing I need to study now. Thanks Emma x
In another context that purple one might be warm...for example if next to a cool blue. In this case it was the cooler end of my spectrum in this piece. Colour is relative, just depends what it's next to as to how it reacts.
@@EmmaColbertArt Thank you, Emma. I was about to sort my pastels into warms and cools but I get that it's all relative now.
A great video! I have just bought your unison light and shade set and have found the warm and cool light and mid tone colours so useful not just for animals but in landscape paintings.
That's great to hear Jane! Unlike my other set, this was with all subject matters in mind so I'm glad to hear it's working nicely for artists.
Oh my goodness, you probably heard the aha “click” that just happened in my newbie brain! Thank you!!!
Haha! That's great to hear!
OMG it's an Eskie! I have a few of those here in my house and they're cuddly and they bark a lot LOL. Beautiful work!
This was very interesting color theory. It's pushed my brain a bit today and has me thinking(as always) about what i'm actually seeing vs what i assume ive seen.... thank you for the thought provoking content as usual!
Thank you so much Emma. The whole colour journey in art is just so magical and a favorite meditative practice almost. I rarely use pure white or black now.
Best tutorial so far warm and cool colors used to scare me like where to use them how to apply them now Im starting to understand it pls make more vids on this topic like showing how to use them just a request
I have a playlist on colour theory at th-cam.com/play/PLbkshqfGlew_doqyQRS0ullUTyShisFjj.html
This is a series I need to continue as there is so much more to talk about!
@@EmmaColbertArt yes
Thank you for these very helpful tips. Now I understand it.
Emma, your videos are always so helpful. I'm also a member of your Patreon channel. Warm and cool colors are so hard for me to get in my head. This video helps! Thank you for all your hard work in educating us and allowing us to watch your process. You are greatly appreciated!
Thank you Brenda! Glad this helped, it's not an easy subject!
thank you so much. This help me alot
Thank you so much. You are such a great teacher and what a needed subject for artists, me included. You are so right; I didnt see the shades or temperature initially either and continue to check myself often. Some are obvious and some....not so much. You hit all the important points and I thank you!! Glad to be subscribed and proud to be a patron of yours you have taught me tons and I will always be grateful. ❤👼
Thanks Michele!
Thanks so much for this video Emma, I think colour theory is so important yet I was never taught it in school. Some of my art work has had a flat appearance and I couldn't understand why until I started on looking at colours and subtle differences in shadows and reflections and how they appear next to one another. Much of it really about our perception of colour as well as what's reflected back to our eyes, how the mind "invents" colour to make sense of the world we see.
Thanks! I wasn't really taught this stuff in school either which is why I'm making these videos :-)
Excellent explanation😊
Excellent I worked in Interior design and the make up industry for years this was good
Thankyou Emma most helpfull
Real nice information video. When you look at a picture that another took what system do you use to identify warm and cool tones?
I have another video where I go into a bit more detail on warm and cool tones at th-cam.com/video/tVqQvEA5E6Y/w-d-xo.html
Woww - beautiful if you can analyse some impressionist’s ‘ paintings ❤️
Thank you! I have more videos in this colour theory series at th-cam.com/play/PLbkshqfGlew_doqyQRS0ullUTyShisFjj.html
In many of them I do show some Impressionist work and talk about how colour theory is applied.
It sounds as though if I purchase the Emma Colbert “Animal Set” and the “Lights and Darks” by Unison that I’ll have the correct supplies to do your tutorials on Patreon? Are there are any single soft sticks I should get to be sure I have enough color range? Ordering from Jackson’s isn’t as easy from the USA and I’d like to get all I’ll need. I know you’d also have me get the Faber-Castel hard black stick too. Anything else? I don’t mind picking up some of your other favorite colors. (I have Pastelmat paper and blender tools already. My art interests are landscapes, animals, and protraits-too varied to be certain about which sticks to buy.) Thank you.
Hi Catherine, if you want to paint a mixture of those subjects I would recommend the animal set and perhaps a landscape set. You won't have greens otherwise. The animal set will surprisingly cover you for a lot of people portraits also. It's just a good basic palette. But you will want landscape colours. Here is a link to the Faber Castell black stick, I do like those! www.jacksonsart.com/faber-castell-pitt-monochrome-crayon-burnt-black-soft?___store=jacksonsart_en&acc=087408522c31eeb1f982bc0eaf81d35f.
You don't need to have every colour I use, I share the colour codes so you can substitute for what you have.
Emma Colbert Art .... thank you, I received my order from Jackson’s today. I’m joining your Patreon.
How do we know if the purple had blue or red like I cant see the difference
Pls make tutorials on human skin too😊
