Another clear, concise explanation as always. Thanks again. I'm pretty sure no one under 30 knows what "sounding like a broken record means." I was a bit mortified when I was watching a Q&A when someone asked, "How do I know when I'm ready for prime time?" The 19 year co-host said, "I don't know what that means.." Hahahahaha...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge - always good tips! On a side question (more curiosity), I noticed your value scale was numbered in the opposite direction as the Gray Scale & Value Finder. I understand that value plays a huge roll in paintings, and it probably doesn't matter which end of the scale is numbered 0 or 10 since it's all about relationships ... but I am still curious in case there was something I didn't understand about reading values.
Debbie, originally the value scale was numbered with 1 as the lightest light. That's the one I learned in the 1960's when I was an undergraduate. In fact, when the Gray Scale & Value Finder first came out, it was number 1 as white and 10 as black. Several years back, they switched to the 10 as white and 1 as black. It was the emerging of the Munsell system that switched the values numbering system. The color industry today depends heavily on the Munsell system, and so do many artists, especially those who've studied in the design schools. My head just won't do that, so I stick to the traditional value scale numbering.
When using compliments is their any rule that u should only mix a warm bias color with its compliment which is also warm or can one be warm and the other be cool. I know they need to be same bias if u want more brightness clarity but struggling with shadow colors. Thank you
No rules. It is the behavior of complements that makes them work. Just like acids neutralize bases, when a hue's complement is added to it, the amount of hue gets reduced. Because of their relative arrangement on the wheel, mixing complements always involves a warm hue mixed with a cooler hue and vice versa. The amount of complement that you mix into a hue determines the degree to which it is neutralized.
Brilliant help Diane. Fascinating how intuitive with colour you are. Thank you so much!
Thanks. But it's not just intuition. It begins with learning what color does to color in its hue, its saturation and its value.
Thank you, Dianne! Your color lessons are my favorite!
Glad you like them! Enjoy the journey.

does anyone know the old game "pingus"? Your intro just sounds like the game backround music
Could be.
She could mean the bright colors in all of the sky behind the mountain
at sunset! I would like to know that.
IF they were there, yes. But they are not visible in this section of the sky.
This is so helpful 🙏🇦🇺
I am delighted.
