The board demonstration makes all the difference. Using technology(software) doesn't feel as related and real as the boards do. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much Dianne. This is such a great awakening for me to the use of the color wheel. Feels free and safe. ANY triangle. Looking forward to playing with this. 🙂👍🏼
Fascinating! Makes me want to get out my color wheel and start exploring. Now I see a clearer path to harmony and eliminating random or experimental sudden changes to a painting on a whim. I like whims, but with this I think it gives direction... and leads to harmony in a painting, hopefully. Thank you for this very valuable tip, Dianne!
Your teaching is unique !!! Thank you so much for this quick tip Dianne. Sometimes I have difficulty to understand what colour am I going to use and I really get frustrated . It was so nice to find you again. After a long pause I am back to acrylics. I am lucky to be subscribed to your channel. Have a nice day and thank you thank you
I love triad schemes and all the middle combinations. I keep my explorations in a spiral bound book for reference. Have you found a convenient systematic way to plot them on a chart for consistency? Is a wheel best or some sort of triangle grid? I dislike the X/Y grid for color mixing because it's limited to mixing two colors. Thanks for the great content !
Alexandra, my experience as taught me that learning how to use the traditional wheel according to what colors do to one another gives the most consistent palette colors every time. We don't need fancy grids or complex theoretical calculations: we just need to understand what colors do to each other.
When I did painting as part of my my architecture degree, we were only ever told (allowed) to use 3 colours plus black and white and never informed that it was a triad, which is something I found out later.
David, there are many possibilities, depending upon how you want to interpret the subject. For using a triad scheme, start with the local color you see most of in a scene, then follow my guidance in this Quick Tip to select the other two colors.

Hi Dianne, I am new to watching your video's. I am loving the clarity and calmness with which you teach. Could you please tell me what you are using to clean your brush with each time between your colours? Many thanks in advance.
Thanks, Dianne. Re: the yellow/red violet/blue violet triad, I don't see any single pigment blue violet on the market, they are all Dioxazine + some blue or other, so what would your preferred mixture be? Dioxazine + Ultramarine? Half and half or some other proportion?
Right, Rich. Sometimes when using a tertiary triad, it is necessary to adjust the hue of the tube color. Dioxazine has a strong tinting strength and Ultramarine's is weak, so in proportion to get the blue violet, it will take very near a 50/50 mix of the two.
Thank you Dianne! This is so helpful 🙏 A few questions; Do you keep dark and cool colours in mind when choosing your colour scheme? Is the colour of your focal point) area a deciding factor? Thanks in advance 🌷
Esther, the answer is no. Every color has the ability to be taken from the lightest light of it to the darkest dark. The focal point is decided by it's placement in the composition, not its color. It's how we use color within it--along with the placement of it and the visual path being used - that makes it focal.
@@HasanEtr Hey! I don't know why Richard Schmid used it, but for me its: 1. One (monochromatic) color creates linear 1-dimensional painting. 2. Two (complimentary) colors create a flat 2-dimensional gradient. 3. Three (triad) colors create a 3-dimensional painting with volume. This limitation creates a great color harmony as well. 4. A touch of fourth color creates unexpected results that will surprise anyone because the combinations are almost infinite.
I have a question regarding notan sketches. As a beginner painter/artist how do I know if my notan is “good” or in the right direction. What is meant by a balance of values?
Christian, as a beginner, just pay attention to the proportion of lights to darks. The notan is a diagram pattern that shows where light rays are hitting in a scene, and where they are not hitting which we see as what's in shadow. ( See Quick Tips 118 and 207). Visually, the amounts of two areas should be unequal. If we show an equal proportion of light and dark, the painting becomes visually ambiguous.
Hi Dianne! I rarely leave comments but I have a question, probably off topic but... ¿if you use different kinds of lighting over a painting, could the values vary depending of each light? (I observed this while painting and taking pictures of what I'd done) It might be a silly sort of obvious thing but I'm still trying to figure values out. Anyway, thanks in advance! I've learnt a lot from you and your videos!
Melo, lighting means everything to a painting. The kind of light you paint under will determine how values and colors turn out. We don't have control over the kind of lighting a painting will have once it goes to a new home, but if we work under a dispersed lighting of around 5000 K, we'll get results closest to natural lighting.
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I just realized - you're an art Angel! Thank you!
Oh my, Linda! What a compliment!
The board demonstration makes all the difference. Using technology(software) doesn't feel as related and real as the boards do. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
My pleasure!
thank you Dianne for that lesson! something I understand just now!!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.

Wonderful! Have fun with it.
Thank you Miss D for helping all of us!
My pleasure.
Wow, I am going to challenge myself to do this. Thanks, Dianne, you are so easy to learn from. Have a great day, everyone.
You can do it! Have fun!

I love your enthusiasm! Thank you, so much, once again, Dianne! Your “quick tips” are awesome! Thank you for sharing! 🙏💕
You are so welcome!
Good stuff. I like the suggestion of using at least two darker colors... Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us.
Have fun with it, Susan.
Dianne, thanks for the lesson on Triads. I am currently doing a color harmony project and this really was helpful.👏👍😃
My pleasure.
This is what I call entertaining education. Thank you Dianne for all your amazing tips.
My pleasure, as always, Christer!

You are so welcome, Laura! Good to have you back.
hey nicely explained. thanks
Thanks for watching.
God bless you, this was a very helpful video. ❤
Thanks!
I love color and harmony. I can't wait to explore a lot of this. I have been experimenting but more randomly. This makes sense. Thank you again.
Have fun with it, Eve.
Thanks in advance for your effort and for your time. It is really beneficial lessons for us. 🙏🙏🙏☺️😌
It's my pleasure
I had a heck of a time mixing up yellow ochre today for a highlight on a chestnut horse. I should have watched this before. Great tips!

Excelent lesson, it saves so much frustration , try and error , time. Thank you very much!
And a lot more fun, too!
I am glad you explained triad I never new as long as I have been painting.
Give it a try. It's fun to work with.
wow.... your technique is very much impressive.... i just loved it... have a nice day
Thank you so much !
Great demo on Triads Dianne!
Thanks.
Excellent lesson!
Thanks!

That's the way it goes sometimes when we're being taught.
Thanks
Thank YOU!
Could you give a suggestion of how to choose the right palette of Color’s to suit the subject matter. Love your videos

great lesson thankyou
You bet!
Dear Dianna!
I would like to ask the name of the rembrand red-violet color?
The red violet I am using is by Gamblin. It is called quinacridone violet. I use the Rembrandt red orange which is called Transparent Oxide Red.
Thank you very much. I have a great Rembrandt red orange.@@IntheStudioArtInstruction
Thank you again for amazing tip.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Thank you Dianne, that's really helpful 🙏
is it important to use single pigments or ok to mix a red violet for example? as that would introduce another pigment.
Linda, it's fine to mix the color you will be using.
Gracias
My pleasure!
I love using triad's but I always add a small touch of some unexpected color outside of it.
So does Richard Schmid.
Could you please tell me the reason and effects of using another color?
@@HasanEtr Hey! I don't know why Richard Schmid used it, but for me its:
1. One (monochromatic) color creates linear 1-dimensional painting.
2. Two (complimentary) colors create a flat 2-dimensional gradient.

Dianne could you do videoon benefit and cons of munsell colour chart please
I will do that in a future Quick Tip. We film these several weeks in advance, so it won't appear until April.
:D so a extended palette does not mean 🤡 painting. You just need to use it accordingly and organize your scheme of colours
Let's say color schemes for setting up your palette is one of many choices we have.
@@IntheStudioArtInstruction Yes you are right. Thanks for the tips 🙏🏽
