I wanted to see the other two possible violets, the warm red with the warm blue, and the cool red and cool blue.
Also the two blues and see what happens. As well as the two reds.
Great explanation.
Thank you David great demo! Now I get why it is important to know what pigments are behind the colors. This is the first time anyone has explained it so clearly.
Donna, you’re welcome - thank you for watching
That makes so much sense! Thank you for explaining it so simply.
Shirley, you’re welcome.

Thank you.
Diane, you’re welcome
Wonderful video! I did not know that ultramarine blue was a “warm blue” nor that cerulean blue was a “cool blue”, plus the WHY of each! One color you list that you use is Cobalt Violet Hue - I ordered it, but it is on back order. Is that something that can be mixed - or because of the use of the word “hue”, is it made specially by Golden? I’m going to need to get something from Golden about what pigments are used for the different paints. You are indeed a wonderful teacher, and a wonderful artist!!
"Hue" means there is no Cobalt (heavy metal) used in the paint. It is made of man-made pigments instead. It's better for your health and less expensive. Cobalt Violet Hue is simply a red violet. You should mix it rather than buy it.
@@davidm.kesslerfineart1717 Thank you!!!!! I will give mixing it a try!!!
I’m 76 years old and I still don’t know which is which in purple, violet, lilac, mauve…..
Violet and purple are the same thing - violet being the correct term and purple being a “slang” version. Lilac is simply a lighter version, generally with a little more blue. Each you mentioned is a variation of violet.
The reason you mixed the most vibrant purple using quin. magenta and ultramarine blue is because those are both cool colors. Ultramarine is not a warm blue. Just the fact that it made the best violet should tell you that it is a cool blue. UMB has more violet in it and violet is a cool color. Cerulean has more green in it and green is a warmer color than violet. If you look at the color spectrum rather than the color wheel, you will see that red is the warmest color and violet is the coolest color. Violet is not warm just because it sits next to red on the color wheel. At the cool end of the color spectrum, blue sits between green and violet, with green being warmer than violet. Thus blues that contain some green are warmer than blues that contain some violet. This video is going to create a lot of confusion for people just learning about color theory and mixing colors.
You may think you know what you are talking about but you don’t. I am an expert in color so please don’t tell me things that I know to be untrue. Ultramarine blue always has been and always will be a warm blue. Please get your facts straight before telling an expert he is wrong.
Ultramarine blue is warm because it has red in it. Cool blues have green in them, that's what makes them cool. Ultramarine blue makes the best violet because it is a blue with red in it - violet is a mixture of blue an red, so using Ultramarine gets you halfway to violet. The reason cool red is the best to make violet is because cool red is red with blue in it - the blue is what makes it cool. Again, I am using two colors that both have mixtures of red and blue in them to make violet, which is a mixture of red and blue.
Let's say, as an example, we use a cool blue (containing green) to mix violet. Cerulean Blue for example. The green in the cool blue, when mixed with the cool red will begin to neutralize the red, because red and green are complementary colors. By neutralize, I mean begin to turn each other toward gray. While this mixture will still make violet, the color will not be as intense because of the presence of some gray.
I don't know where you learned color theory, but it is entirely incorrect. My knowledge is substantiated by fact, and is based on centuries old color theory. Any good artist knows the facts as I have stated them here. I didn't make it up, it's knowledge that has been available for centuries.
