Extremely value-able demonstration.
Paul is one of the best if not the best art teacher on the web.
You won’t find an atelier that does better.
He consistently teaches the details that all artists need to know.
Great work Paul
Wow, thank you Normand! That's praise indeed!
I just use my 10.5 inch Tab camera in greyscale mode to look at my painting from time to time to make decisions concerning value of the colours that I want to tweak a little to get a better painting. Also, I use a glass with neutral grey 5 painted paper beneath it as palette for mixing my paint. Squinting eyes helps in knowing roughly whether the colour is darker or lighter than neutral grey 5 and roughly how much in either direction. Being too accurate is not necessary for my spontaneity in painting. But it certainly helps to check from time to time the painting in greyscale through tab camera. Making adjustments in value accordingly benefits overall painting outcome. Same thing can be used in mobile phone too, though screen is smaller.
Oh that neutral grey 5 painted paper is such a great tip! thanks a lot I'll definitely start using it
This is exactly was i was looking for, thank you
Excellent instruction! Thx.
Very nicely explained how to check the value and or match the color shade for your painting. Thanks.
got a great tip use diaper wipes to clean your knife between color mixes .
Terrific! Thanks.
Helpful. Thanks.
this is awesome, thanks!🎉
Paul, Is "chroma" in the Munsell system the equivalent of "tone" in other systems (i.e., in the common parlance of tone, tint, shade, and hue)? Is "chroma" a term really only used in the Munsell system? BTW, you have a lovely blog.
Chroma is the purity of a colour ( a high chroma has no added black, white or grey) Tones are created by adding grey to a colour, making it duller than the original. Hope that helps, I was reading on it on google.
@@nicoletaborcos Thanks! that helps a lot
Amazing
and I believe you play finger-style guitar as well. Classical? Thank you for the instruction
Hmm... Seems good but the paint dries darker, doesn't it? How do you guess the colour/shade/value change for it drying?
Acrylic paint dries darker, oils stay the same. So it depends what you're using. It is harder to control value with acrylics for that reason.

Oh right. It didn't know oils remained the same. I've just started using acrylics in the last 8 or so months. Used to paint well with water colours years ago. Trying for that realism look with the acrylics that I've really only seen done with oils. So far my paintings look like greetings card images. Tho everyone tells me they look fantastic, to me they're just mediocre. Maybe I'll swap over to oils eventually...
Nice to see a color isolator in action.
a cosa serve mettere il colore sulla cartina trasparente?
Nice video, how are you Paul??
Thanks Giovanni!
I'm very well thank you, the country air is doing me much good :)
Glad to hear about.
Make a color checker or buy one from GenevaFineArt.com
good info but i allmost fainted when i saw your nails. are those palet knife life hacks?
Hai qualche spiegazione scritta dove posso tradurre la spiegazione?. Grazie
How to see colours as values; become colourblind
May you upload a video on chroma? It is intrigue...
play 2X speed... for faster squint!!!!
Che colori sono
Isn't that how life works? You do 4 samples and they are dark. But once you get the right shade, the camera decides to go out of focus!
Final color is too bright, doesn’t match
ce colori sono? non capisco le parole perche sono italiana
Cosa significa "ce colori sono?" ? Quello non sembra italiano...
Why do I notice color hues first but not their values?? Is my brain hard-wired to see this way? I believe it is a female thing, from our hunter-gatherer ancient history times. Most of the sources or videos I’ve seen discussing values are written or done by men, to whom I believe value perception comes more easily. Does anyone else experience this?
Is that a roblox logo?
