Great video. Another tip - if you use a warm blue (ultramarine) and a warm red, as demonstrated here, you will get a desaturated purple, because the warm red has yellow in it, so you have all 3 primaries in the purple, making it desaturated. If you want a vivid purple, use a warm blue (it leans to red) and a cool red (like Quin magenta, which leans to blue and has little yellow) and you will get a vivid purple. Same color theory applies to creating greens and oranges.
That's a great tip. I dont really paint but I remember seeing a tube of premixed purple and thought why I just couldnt get that vibrant purple by simply mixing blue and red myself.
Oh my goodness, you just answered a question I have been struggling with my whole life!! I always look at explanations like this one and be like 'I KNOW he did not just call that purple, it's poo brown!' And then I can never predict what color I am going to end up with when I mix paints together, it always seems unpredictable to me and so frequently I end up with different varieties of brown. But I am going to totally think of this advice from now on and never be confused again. THANK YOU!
I am 82 years old, and just starting to try my hand at painting. I am leaning toward abstract painting, and have been watching a lot of videos. I have been admiring the colours people are using, and did not understand how to get such beautiful colours. I thank you for this video. I am now going to sit and try my hand at mixing these colours and see which ones I like best. I do hope you are a teacher ad you make a wonderful teacher. Thanks again.
With abstract, color is everything.. maybe try working with opposite colors paired... orange with blue, yellow with purple, red and green etc. Tends to be aesthetically pleasing
Grandma Moses started painting in her late 70s. I retired 2 years ago at almost 67 and due to severe complications after a hip replacement I had to give up hiking and my new metal detector sits in the corner gathering dust. So to distract me from losing all the plans I made for my retirement I have taken up painting as well. Go for it, we have our whole life experience inside us....get it out and on paper, canvas, wood, metal...whatever! Best of luck!
I have been a college professor for almost 34 years. I know good teaching when I see it and WOW are you good! No fluff, no garbage filler chatter.... just to-the-point information. I appreciate that so much! Now, as far as the content goes? Such good stuff! You explained temperature and saturation in ways that I've never heard before and I really learned something new here. I'll have to watch this one a few more times before I really "learn" it, but that's okay! Thank you for a great video!
Hi. I’m a retired sp.ed. Teacher, certified, abd. I am so tired of artists calling themselves teachers when they are gabby demonstrators. I agree, finding someone who has natural teaching ability is indeed rare. I expect to be disappointed and am thrilled when not. Glad someone else notices.
I've been known for "paint pouring" on my channel. With pouring, the challenge was always to keep the colors vivid. So while I understood that red & green or purple and yellow often make mud when they mix - I had no need to go beyond that. Now I've moved from pouring to brush painting - Ive been really frustrated I couldn't get the colors I saw in my head. I want more muted and neutral/natural tones in my abstract florals, and I wanted them to look less vibrant. This tutorial was fantastic. Your voice is calming, soothing and you are informative with a light-hearted delivery that made an hour go by in a JIFFY :) As a fellow content creator, I KNOW how much work goes into these videos and I totally appreciate you taking the time to create it. THANK YOU!
Wow am I happy to have found this or what? So informative, wonderfully present & conversational w/o the typical loud, busy or chirpy "TH-cam personality" bit. THIS is is fantastic. Thank you!!!!
WOW, I am sitting here absolutely stunned, what an amazing tutorial, thank you, I will watch it over and over. You have a wonderful gift for teaching and your voice is so patient, kind and easy to follow. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you so much for this!!!! I'm entering year five of sobriety and I'm making art again and I'm starting over and boy is the world beautiful when your spirit is healthy! What a joy to have such a phenomenal teacher!!
Im really want to paint especially in my age but I dont know how I will start,but now since your vedio tought me a lot no hindrance to fullfill my dream.Once again thank you very
As a complete colour newbie.. I would just like to say THANK YOU for this video! I was so stunned that black isn't used to darken a colour - all the times I've done so in the past, I've been so perplexed as to why my colours turn out so awful looking. But it's what I was taught when I was younger. I've learnt so much from this video, it was truly eye opening!
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve been trying to figure out the color wheel so I didn’t have to waste my money on specific colors and it’s never clicked until your video! My gas dropped when you mixed the orange, blue, and the white making the gray. Thank you again for the instruction and showing how to color correct for your desired color! 28:55
I am 69 years old and have only been painting a couple of years and this video has explained so much. You are a patient and knowledgeable teacher. Thanks so much for sharing. I will finally be able to make my own color wheel. All of the comments were also helpful.
I watch a good amount of instructional video which is the huge gift of You Tube in my opinion. I learned so much from this class. You are a terrific teacher.
I just started painting at almost 70 years old and my instructor recommended your videos for color mixing. Your teaching approach is exceptional. I am sure you will become my virtual instructor. Thank you for your professional, easy to follow and comprehensive instruction. I will now dedicate equal time to your videos as my classroom instruction. Thank you!!
I have mixed colors in the past and wondered why my results were so different from the instructor's. Now I know. I may never learn it all, but you certainly are opening my eyes to this world of art. I can only say kudos to you all who can incorporate all of this knowledge into such beautiful work. I humbly bow to you.
Wonderful instruction. Clear, detailed and easy to translate. I can get lost in my love of color until my painting turns to mud. Your discipline in explaining the palette unlocks the mystery. Most instructors talk about mixing color but usually while painting a model or subject. This devoted video to just mixing color is the best instruction I have seen.
I'm watching this tutorial everyday until it sticks in my head and I'm mixing my own paints as well along with you. Thanks for being such an outstanding teacher.
Great video! I usually have a short attention span but I was fully engaged the whole hour (to my surprise). Never learnt anything about color mixing or about depth/tints/hues/etc in any art class (school or otherwise). Thanks for the video.
You just blew my mind with peanut butter! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been struggling with this EXACT subject. Understanding the color wheel is WAY different than just looking at it. Your patient thorough explanation is the BEST thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. I can't wait to watch it again ☺️💜👣
I’ve got to tell you that by this time in most vids I’ve turned it off as it’s been repetitive droning on and on and really not giving me anything and frankly, wasting my time. Im a painter and a colorist as well and I find your video to be fresh and interesting and definitely a keeper! Thank you for really conveying some very relevant important info here! I also have no problem at all with the very mellow soothing sound of your voice👍🏻 so keep bringing that info 🙏🏻🥇👍🏻
OMG THANK YOU!!!! This was the single BEST clear, concise, and helpful color lesson I have ever had!! I WISH I had had anyone teach me this, in this way, previously. Now I actually understand both the values and tints, and their practical applications. THANK YOU!!!
Excellent video! NO drawn-out beginnings - thanks for that! A good pace for someone trying to grasp these concepts. I appreciate the show-and-tell happening at the same time. Thank you for helping me to understand what I am aiming for in mixing and where to go with the colours to achieve what I'm aiming for. Very clear. Repeating what another professor said - you are doing great in teaching this! Keep up the good work!
even the way you have started this video is exactly the weaknesses I noticed in my art and the questions I started asking myself and approach you have said exactly in the first 2 minutes of this video. I think this video is going to be art changing for me
Amazing lesson. I now truly understand the color wheel. I've watched countless videos on art and just now UNDERSTAND color. Thank you for this. I appreciate you!
The only 1hr long video on TH-cam I watched without a hint of boredom! Thank you so much I was really having a hard time learning how to match colors when I paint. Your content is great.💕
My favorite color now is turquoise. And I love the blue purple color of tanzanite. It's gorgeous! I love color! What a boring world it would be without it. It's a blessing from The Creator.
This is a really good video, even for someone who does not paint with oilpaints, but watercolor paints, so the white does not come into it so much for me/us. Still very informing and clear, thank you 😊
MY GOD, thank you so much, i have been painting for couple of years.... but this opened my mind even more... will do couple of paintings by pre mixing my colors.
That was the most informative but easy to understand tutorial iv ever watched! Thankyou so much Kyle! If you're seriously a beginner, this is the video to watch! Thankyou!
So true 1:16 there is nothing more important as an artist than paying attention to the details and being able to discern differences in light and dark saturation, contrast, color harmony, etc. Being able to think critically is one of the most important elements of being an artist even though it’s literally part of the opposite hemisphere of your brain and the one that you would use for art
Can I just say thank you for putting a smile on my face with the purple dumbell segment. I realized at that point that I was still watching. I was more interested in color theory than i have ever been, and not from lack of desire to learn it but from the sheer need to keep repeating the practice and going over the principles until they become natural. And no book or person has been able to hold my interest this long on a subject that is still eluding me a little. But right now I know I'm going to watch THIS video over and over and practice it until I feel a basic comfort with this. I know this is what's been blocking me from enjoying all my new paints and markers etc. Your voice is definitely asmr quality but your ability to hit the right pace and the right level of language for me to be able to stick to this gives me hope that I WILL eventually learn it. I have adhd and never realized how it affected so much for me. As a child I didn't have much choice in who would be responsible for teaching me. But with platforms like this students like me can find teachers like you and that's BIG. I hope parents with children who are struggling with certain kinds of learning turn to people like you to help their kids catch up in subjects like art so they don't grow up like I did thinking I was not creative because I was told I was bad at it. Could you imagine? I know adhd intimately.....I treated it in children for almost 10 years before I even had a clue that I was living with it and so was most of my family. I think back to how my brother and I struggled in different ways from the same conceptual difference in processing information and I cringe knowing how hard it was on everyone to see two exceptional human beings struggle to feel good enough. I don't know anything about you or your endeavors but I'm a fan and will get to know more with time but if it ever crossed your path to teach or offer your classes to kids with neurodiversity, I think you would be opening doors that might otherwise remain closed. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and knowledge. ❤
What fun! You just took away all my dread about diving into this subject. I intend to watch and dab along with you again and again until this lesson becomes pretty much automatic. You've done a real service here and I thank you.
Just discovered your channel. Thank you although I only use watercolors. I would especially appreciate your level of expertise using watercolor w demonstrations. 👍👍👍❤❤❤
You're a treasure! A treasure to be appreciated. Unselfish, great teacher, who totally helps those anxious to learn. There are soo many talented kids and some don't even have the financial means to go to an art school. Well, in you they can find a true, friend and teacher. May the ALMIGHTY, bless you with good health and wisdom with the true colors of the firmament!
I really thought a 1 hour video would be too long but wow… The course was really captivating and instructive, and I know that I wouldn’t be able to have that much informations from any other video Thanks for the time and effort (and paint) you’ve putting in it :)
So true visualisation of a scenery with an artist's eye is so different where you appreciate the hues and saturations, shadow and light so much better.thanks for such a wonderful tutorial.
Look forward to following along with this, just refreshing my practice. I can relate so hard with the 'using too much paint, very expensive' especially when learning, but like you said you have to actually use it to learn it. For that reason... i'll be getting some cheap acrylics lol.
If you are in Australia, as your name suggest... you can get a 24 pc set of Mont Marte for around around 30 dollars. I am in the U.S but follow some Austrailian artist. I use Arteza...another good brand with fairly high pigmentation for around the same price. Of course you can get smaller sets too.
The concepts and ideas here are a valuable review, well worth the time to view the tutorial several times. Thanks!! Those of us who use acrylics should keep in mind that, even adding retarders and using the equivalent of "Sta-Wet" palettes, our paints are never going to stay useable for this long, let alone long enough to paint two or three versions of the same subject, using our initial mixtures of paints. But the points about mixing hues, tints, and tones are still very helpful.
That was a wonderful teaching. I am basically self-taught and been doing this for about 10 years or more so this was great and the term analogy was very good for my education and all the principles that you taught. Thank you very much
😮 wow… amazing tutorial… exactly what I was looking for… there are so many explanations in writing in the internet but this one is super easy to follow and will remain in my memory forever now. Thank you.
Really lovely and helpful instruction, Kyle, thanks so much for taking the time to make this, practice, and post. I'm 64 and just now learning to oil paint. It's an exciting time.
Brown has been my all time favorite colour since I was 3. Wood did it to me. I love trees, strong and powerful. Just like this lesson. Thank you very much. Blessing to you
Thank you. I paused your video and picked up a pencil and note pad. I have been studying watercolor, and love to sketch...Yet make zero time as everything else is a priority. Only because a get anxious and overwhelmed. Not because it's not important.
Thank you so much for this. I am a textile artist/student and have been taught about the colour wheel but the way you showed the subtleties of mixing has made the colour matching make so much sense
I watched this color mixing instruction on my tv primetime..and now Im watching again on youtube from my computer so that I can get up close and with intense listening...the clarification of color and all the buzz words about color has been clouding my thoughts and that intimidated me...What you are teaching and SHOWING here is what I think will take my art from cartoonish to a more unified believable scene...Thank you Kyle Heath for taking the time to share this video...
This was very informative, thanks. I remember the bare basics of mixing colors from a couple lifetimes ago in elementary school but I've recently taken an interest in learning to paint and decided to brush up on color theory so I can mix my own custom colors. You've done an excellent job with this presentation. Paint CAN BE expensive so I imagine if one can become proficient at mixing their desired colors one could probably save some money by doing so. Thank you very much for this fantastic demonstration! 👍
I don't paint with oil but this was an amazing masterclass! Thank you. In watercolor, a lot of artists use CMYK colors, and usually never white, like printers. This was very interesting that in oil you use red, blue and yellow as your primary. The lesson about the hue, saturation and value was perfect.
It not about being oil, it's personal preference. Some artists use YRB others use CMY and others use split primaries of Red Blue yellow in warm and cool version to have more options and just choose based on the subject.
Thanks a lot Kyle for this wonderful real time video. It resolved lot of doubts that I carried within me about colors and temperature and other things. It all made sense. Heartiest gratitude to you for giving us your valuable time and knowledge. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for an amazing and thorough explanation of color mixing. I have been working with this for some time and watched several videos and none of them made as much sense as this one. I will watch it over many times I'm sure to capture it all but now I know where to go for my information!
i didn't quite need this video, i was looking for some stuff on color theory for digital art because the way colors can appear completely different due to the surrounding colors was blowing my mind. however i am so glad i found this video because its so utterly soothing to watch and listen to. I will be boosting your views solely to fall asleep to it. Thank you for making this
I enjoyed this color tutorial, I did hair color for eighteen year's and use to paint. I am just getting back to painting since I now have the time. I did graduate from a school of business/ art. I find your vedeo to be easy to understand for beginner's. I enjoyed it too .
Man oh man! This has got to be the best color mixing video I've ever seen. If I had had a art teacher like you from the get go I wouldn't have been so discouraged from picking up my brushes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now on to 50 shades of gray...🥰
Thanks, indeed you are an ecxellent teacher, I have tried to understand the art of mixing colours for a long time, but ending up very frustrated. I think I ve grasped a lot today and will try ma best to reach the best❤
Thank you! This is so in-depth and it’s a wonderful guide. It’s very helpful for me because I struggle with mixing n matching the colours while painting. Thanks for taking time to make this ❤
Great video. Another tip - if you use a warm blue (ultramarine) and a warm red, as demonstrated here, you will get a desaturated purple, because the warm red has yellow in it, so you have all 3 primaries in the purple, making it desaturated. If you want a vivid purple, use a warm blue (it leans to red) and a cool red (like Quin magenta, which leans to blue and has little yellow) and you will get a vivid purple. Same color theory applies to creating greens and oranges.
Thank you for sharing, Linda!
That's a great tip. I dont really paint but I remember seeing a tube of premixed purple and thought why I just couldnt get that vibrant purple by simply mixing blue and red myself.
Great way of explaining it and perfect sharing tip for those learning blending.
Jesus....dude. I've been trying to make vivid purple for two days....I have the wrong gd red. Thank you so much for saving me a giant headache.
Oh my goodness, you just answered a question I have been struggling with my whole life!! I always look at explanations like this one and be like 'I KNOW he did not just call that purple, it's poo brown!'

I don't paint but I love calming painting videos and the talent of the artists. My favorite colors here are lavender blue and golden yellow
I'm watching this tutorial everyday until it sticks in my head and I'm mixing my own paints as well along with you. Thanks for being such an outstanding teacher.

Can't believe this is for free! Thank you so much for your dedication.
This artist is an excellent teacher,really thorough in language terms,hue, color temperature, watching is so important…
I loved this mixing class. The first one, out of several I have already watched, made any sense to me. Thank you for taking the time to help us.
Small round infant pools
I totally agree!
You explained color theory extraordinarily. I now understand the terminology and the the definitions. I feel so enlightened. Great teacher!
Hi Linda ,❤🌹
How're you doing today. Seasons Greetings

You just blew my mind with peanut butter! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been struggling with this EXACT subject. Understanding the color wheel is WAY different than just looking at it. Your patient thorough explanation is the BEST thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. I can't wait to watch it again ☺️💜👣

Thanks so much Robert! I checked out your art, and LOVE your use of color ❤️
The best video intro for color mixingtheory. Brilliant
Colour theory is so exciting and interesting to me…it’s like magic. I need to watch this again and write all the key points down!
OMG THANK YOU!!!! This was the single BEST clear, concise, and helpful color lesson I have ever had!! I WISH I had had anyone teach me this, in this way, previously. Now I actually understand both the values and tints, and their practical applications. THANK YOU!!!

This was the most brief and comprehending and easily understandable class . this gonna help me alot
The only 1hr long video on TH-cam I watched without a hint of boredom! Thank you so much I was really having a hard time learning how to match colors when I paint. Your content is great.💕
Thank you Joana! What a compliment! 😊
This is so so helpful!! Can you share what paper you are using in your palette??😊
I was like, an hour?! Here I am an hour later like, I just sat here and watched the entire video!
The desaturation was never quite explained to me like this, and man has that alone completely unlocked my painting
You have given me hands down THE BEST explanation and instructions on the use of the color wheel! Very clear! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you! I'm just starting out and this was so helpful!
Simply great…best lesson in colour so far I have seen..bundle of thanks for this.
Take it easy with that dumbell 😅
This tutorial was really clear and helpful.
I will definitely be watching this again.
Your voice is very calming.
My favorite color now is turquoise. And I love the blue purple color of tanzanite. It's gorgeous! I love color! What a boring world it would be without it. It's a blessing from The Creator.
Thank you for what likely is the best tutorial on mixing Iv ever seen.Im half way through and I had thought red was the warmest color till now.
This is a really good video, even for someone who does not paint with oilpaints, but watercolor paints, so the white does not come into it so much for me/us. Still very informing and clear, thank you 😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for your kind words 😊
Thxx for beautiful explanation....which no art school can teach such finer aspects.....gbu
I have watched so many videos on color and you have explained so much better . Thank You 😊
MY GOD, thank you so much, i have been painting for couple of years.... but this opened my mind even more... will do couple of paintings by pre mixing my colors.
That was the most informative but easy to understand tutorial iv ever watched! Thankyou so much Kyle!

I hope parents with children who are struggling with certain kinds of learning turn to people like you to help their kids catch up in subjects like art so they don't grow up like I did thinking I was not creative because I was told I was bad at it. Could you imagine? I know adhd intimately.....I treated it in children for almost 10 years before I even had a clue that I was living with it and so was most of my family. I think back to how my brother and I struggled in different ways from the same conceptual difference in processing information and I cringe knowing how hard it was on everyone to see two exceptional human beings struggle to feel good enough.
I don't know anything about you or your endeavors but I'm a fan and will get to know more with time but if it ever crossed your path to teach or offer your classes to kids with neurodiversity, I think you would be opening doors that might otherwise remain closed.
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and knowledge.
❤
What fun! You just took away all my dread about diving into this subject. I intend to watch and dab along with you again and again until this lesson becomes pretty much automatic. You've done a real service here and I thank you.
Thank you for this video. Can't think of a better explanation/lesson to understanding colour, and how to mix paint. Thank you.
Thank you for clarifying what I have struggled with for so long. Love not only your lesson but your calming tone ! Helps relax into the lesson…..❤️🩹
And fall asleep ...
As simple as it is incredible. Thank you for teaching. I've covered years in one lesson👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!
Just discovered your channel. Thank you although I only use watercolors. I would especially appreciate your level of expertise using watercolor w demonstrations. 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Seconding this. I'd love to see it with watercolour.
You're a treasure! A treasure to be appreciated. Unselfish, great teacher, who totally helps those anxious to learn. There are soo many talented kids and some don't even have the financial means to go to an art school. Well, in you they can find a true, friend and teacher. May the ALMIGHTY, bless you with good health and wisdom with the true colors of the firmament!
My favorite color has always been teal. It makes my heart flutter😭❤️
Teal might be my favorite color too!
Sooo true about the limitations from which art is created. Many thanks sharing the depth and lightness of your teaching!
I really thought a 1 hour video would be too long but wow…
The course was really captivating and instructive, and I know that I wouldn’t be able to have that much informations from any other video
Thanks for the time and effort (and paint) you’ve putting in it :)
Thank you!! I never understood the relationship of gray to brown and now I understand.
So true visualisation of a scenery with an artist's eye is so different where you appreciate the hues and saturations, shadow and light so much better.thanks for such a wonderful tutorial.
Look forward to following along with this, just refreshing my practice. I can relate so hard with the 'using too much paint, very expensive' especially when learning, but like you said you have to actually use it to learn it. For that reason... i'll be getting some cheap acrylics lol.
If you are in Australia, as your name suggest... you can get a 24 pc set of Mont Marte for around around 30 dollars. I am in the U.S but follow some Austrailian artist. I use Arteza...another good brand with fairly high pigmentation for around the same price. Of course you can get smaller sets too.
Thank you Kyle. I too will watch this over and over. Lot's of helpful info..
Wonderful, I’m so glad it’s helpful Laurie!
The concepts and ideas here are a valuable review, well worth the time to view the tutorial several times. Thanks!! Those of us who use acrylics should keep in mind that, even adding retarders and using the equivalent of "Sta-Wet" palettes, our paints are never going to stay useable for this long, let alone long enough to paint two or three versions of the same subject, using our initial mixtures of paints. But the points about mixing hues, tints, and tones are still very helpful.
That was a wonderful teaching. I am basically self-taught and been doing this for about 10 years or more so this was great and the term analogy was very good for my education and all the principles that you taught. Thank you very much
Hi Barbara ,❤🌹
How're you doing today. Seasons Greetings
🎄☃🎉
Thank you for the Master class. And I must say it stays true to the title.
Learnt a lot, your explanation technique is clear and easy to understand.
I love this guide for Color mixing. Thanks. I am sitting completely immersed in this tutorial. Can’t than you enough.
😮 wow… amazing tutorial… exactly what I was looking for… there are so many explanations in writing in the internet but this one is super easy to follow and will remain in my memory forever now. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Really lovely and helpful instruction, Kyle, thanks so much for taking the time to make this, practice, and post. I'm 64 and just now learning to oil paint. It's an exciting time.
Thank you for this lesson! This explains so much! My fav color is pthalo blue!
You’re welcome Kathleen! I love pthalo blue too!
Brown has been my all time favorite colour since I was 3. Wood did it to me. I love trees, strong and powerful. Just like this lesson. Thank you very much. Blessing to you
That was the best explanation and hands-on exercises I have found yet, to help me understand color and how to mix them. Thank you.
Thank you. I paused your video and picked up a pencil and note pad. I have been studying watercolor, and love to sketch...Yet make zero time as everything else is a priority. Only because a get anxious and overwhelmed. Not because it's not important.
Thank you so much for this. I am a textile artist/student and have been taught about the colour wheel but the way you showed the subtleties of mixing has made the colour matching make so much sense
I watched this color mixing instruction on my tv primetime..and now Im watching again on youtube from my computer so that I can get up close and with intense listening...the clarification of color and all the buzz words about color has been clouding my thoughts and that intimidated me...What you are teaching and SHOWING here is what I think will take my art from cartoonish to a more unified believable scene...Thank you Kyle Heath for taking the time to share this video...
This was very informative, thanks. I remember the bare basics of mixing colors from a couple lifetimes ago in elementary school but I've recently taken an interest in learning to paint and decided to brush up on color theory so I can mix my own custom colors. You've done an excellent job with this presentation. Paint CAN BE expensive so I imagine if one can become proficient at mixing their desired colors one could probably save some money by doing so. Thank you very much for this fantastic demonstration! 👍
I don't paint with oil but this was an amazing masterclass! Thank you. In watercolor, a lot of artists use CMYK colors, and usually never white, like printers. This was very interesting that in oil you use red, blue and yellow as your primary. The lesson about the hue, saturation and value was perfect.
You can use either for any medium and there is even split primary setups where you use both a cool and warm version of either RYB or CMYk.
It not about being oil, it's personal preference. Some artists use YRB others use CMY and others use split primaries of Red Blue yellow in warm and cool version to have more options and just choose based on the subject.

Thanks a lot Kyle for this wonderful real time video. It resolved lot of doubts that I carried within me about colors and temperature and other things. It all made sense. Heartiest gratitude to you for giving us your valuable time and knowledge. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
As someone who does gelcoat color matching and doesn’t do art, this is VERY VERY helpful!
Thank you for an amazing and thorough explanation of color mixing. I have been working with this for some time and watched several videos and none of them made as much sense as this one. I will watch it over many times I'm sure to capture it all but now I know where to go for my information!
I’m so glad you feel some clarity on this topic now, it’s wonderful to have that “eureka” moment!
Excellent lecture on - and demonstration of - colour theory. And I love you compared a limited palette with poetry. ❤🙂🙏
I just woke up this morning after watching this video last night. I had a wonderful vivid dream with lots of beautiful flowers. Thank you.
That’s really cool! 😊
i didn't quite need this video, i was looking for some stuff on color theory for digital art because the way colors can appear completely different due to the surrounding colors was blowing my mind. however i am so glad i found this video because its so utterly soothing to watch and listen to. I will be boosting your views solely to fall asleep to it. Thank you for making this
Wow! You’re an amazing teacher! I have learned so much from your videos, especially this one! THANK YOU 🙏 God Bless ❤
I'm not an artist but I'm besotted with colour and loooove this amazing video. Learned so much. Thank you!
I'm so pleased that not just artists, but color-lovers are enjoying this video too! Thanks for sharing, Rebecca!
This excellent Color Mixing class together with a class on Color Harmony, has rejuvenated my paintings. I’m excited to get started again. THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this video. I have seen so many color wheels, but this one is so easy to navigate.
You're a very good teacher! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👏🏾
You are indeed blessed to have an eye for colors! Thanks for the educational tutorial in an incredible fashion. I am obliged to you! 👍🙏😊
That is absolutely brilliant! Wonderful explanation and demonstration of how to understand colours. Thank you so much!👏👏👏
I enjoyed this color tutorial, I did hair color for eighteen year's and use to paint. I am just getting back to painting since I now have the time. I did graduate from a school of business/ art. I find your vedeo to be easy to understand for beginner's. I enjoyed it too .
Man oh man! This has got to be the best color mixing video I've ever seen. If I had had a art teacher like you from the get go I wouldn't have been so discouraged from picking up my brushes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now on to 50 shades of gray...🥰
Thanks, indeed you are an ecxellent teacher, I have tried to understand the art of mixing colours for a long time, but ending up very frustrated. I think I ve grasped a lot today and will try ma best to reach the best❤
You're welcome, Carmela! I'm glad it feels clearer to you now 😊
Thank you so much! This was literally the most helpful video I've ever came across in my adventure to becoming an artist.
Thank you! This is so in-depth and it’s a wonderful guide. It’s very helpful for me because I struggle with mixing n matching the colours while painting. Thanks for taking time to make this ❤
This was super instructive & so helpful to see the colors mixed as you went through! THANK YOU!
