    This is excellent! Not only for people interested in pursuing a fashion career, but those of us who’d like to dress ourselves better for starters. I’ve stuck to blacks and greys for a long time because it’s what I’m comfortable with, and even though I love bright items I always feel strange spending my money, afraid I won’t know what to match them with. On a tight budget a purchase will be unjustified and barely worn. No more boring though! This will help me build a fun yet consistent wardrobe. Once again, all your content is brilliant so thank you for taking your time and sharing your knowledge with us.

    2022 and I’m still coming back to this video of yours. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this! I just love the way you explain things. You’ve helped me out so much. This video is by far the best video about color theory that I’ve watched.

    I'm obsessed with color theory and I love researching and reading about color impact on human behaviour and mood. Sometimes when I go "shopping" I will take notes about different color stories presented and lurk where people spend more time😂 It's always useful to hear more about colors and it makes a big difference when you learn these things. Thank you!

    I Like The Way You Teach... You Just Didn't Beat Around The Bush.... So Straight Forward And Your Explanations Are Pretty Clever Not Like The One They Teach In School... That Makes No Sense Like They Force Us to Do Without Giving An Explanation Behind It... Thanks Once Again Good Job Zoe!

    Just wanted to thank you before they stop allowing comments (such I heard have no idea if it is true) on youtube. THANK YOU so very much for this series. I have watched them all and will go back to refresh. I suck with color choice, mixing, basically the whole nine yards in dealing with colors. I am attempting some fluid acrylic painting, making lots of mud or just hating the combinations I chose. Finally I searched color theory and you popped up. You are a wonderful teacher and have helped me so very much.

    Oh. my. gosh. This is exactly what I've been looking for! THANK YOU for breaking color theory down and making sense of it and especially for discussing value, saturation, temperature, tints, shades, tones and mutes. All the other color theory videos I found stuck to the color wheel and color schemes. You taught me about what goes into a color so I can be free and know how to find or create what I'm looking for.

  • @jw7903
    @jw7903 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    This is still the best lesson of color theory even in 2021. I laughed so hard at "it's a deliberate decision, not an accident."

    You are an angel... I was this close to completely giving up on art because there was always something off about my works and i couldn't figure out what it was. Now I have a good idea of what it could be (mixing in wrong temperatures and thus color schemes looking all over the place in finished pieces). Thank you SO much. Not only was this video really really helpful but you also have a very pleasant way of teaching. It doesn't feel like my classes in school "DO IT THIS wAAY Or ItS WrOnG!!" but really just like helpful advice. A friendly "look here's the knowledge, now go forth my child and do crazy things to your hearts desire!" :P
    So so helpful. Thank you again and again.

    @ro3843 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    So I'm one of those people who can't tell the difference between different shades/tones/tints etc of colors, sometimes even two separate colors look exactly the same to me. Basically I'm tone-deaf but when it comes to visual art. This is the first and only video that clearly explained color theory to me in a way that finally clicked. You are a gifted teacher! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the internet!

    You have the ability to open up captions and allow your subscribers to do it free-I believe it's called community-contributed subtitles. You could at least get English subtitles that way. Just in case you didn't know!

    zoey I grew up around a designer aunt and mother but never learned how to sell myself and I don’t know a lot of the Termanology that you were using as I’ve never taken courses but I am vastly interested. I have just decided to watch and learn and do what I can and I just want to say that your videos are some of the most instructive and clearly presented that I have seen. And your passion and interest in what you do really comes through so I wanted to thank you very much for everything you do.
