    I have a full playlist on my TH-cam channel devoted to colour theory. I put a huge amount of time and effort into creating these and putting them out here for everyone. If you can help me fund my channel in either of the ways I've mentioned above I would much appreciate it and it will enable me to continue.

    Wonderful explanation of color mixing based on both value contrast and color contrast. Using these techniques on sanded surfaces creates beautiful results.

    I've directed a lot of my students to your site. Whether you are analyzing colour temperature, pastel papers or pastels, you do an excellent job of making sometimes complicated pastel subjects very clear. Bravo and thank you.

    This is great! I think having my sanded paper with this process may not work as well since my hands will have the skin sanded off. Another good reason to go with pastelmat

    Yes, I enjoyed this tutorial very much. I think it easier with other mediums to see the warm and cold colours, but point made so well how it is possible to see it with pastels. I think I was more in awe from the colours and almost frightened - you have made me see it as more a challenge how to use them mixed, with joy instead of being afraid - Noobs are silly boars I think, hope I can get over being a newbie! Please have patience with me! 🙏💕

    Emma! Such an amazing video! I am sure Unison would rather have you selling more sticks! But showing your viewers how to mix colors with the colors they have is phenomenal, thanks! Of my Patreon support groups I believe that I miss yours most! Might be a tie between you and Kasey Golden, but I certainly learn more from you! You are truly inspirational and so generous to us. Thank you. Please take care and be safe over there!

    Thank you so very much! This video is of great help to me. It was a relief to see you blend the colours, I am very new to pastels and had got the impression from books it is almost forbiddden to blend the different pastel sticks together with a finger or paper stump as that would take away the luminosity in pastels and because of that one needs hundreds of different pastel sticks just to find that exact right colour. I had started to worry about my pastel budget- now I will try to mix the sticks I have instead! You always explain so clearly. Green are my favourites as I love to do landscapes but it is difficult to see both varmt/ coldness and tone for me, but I suppose it is down to trying on and getting experience. Comparing w blue and yellow as you did really helped me to understand better. Thank you very much!

    • @mjpete27
      @mjpete27 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I found similar recommendations, but watching videos every Artist that I admire mixes colors, with a finger or stub, even using the pastel stick to mix is a real technique! I know you get brighter colors with just the stick and little or no mixing. I have heard it called a finishing mark. You apply it at the end so your painting jumps out at the viewers. I believe that some people take an instruction and beat it to death! Moderation and application of each and every technique is the best way to apply techniques to your learning process. I wish us all the best of luck! Keep watching Emma and check out her Patreon if you can afford even one of the lower tiers you will not be sorry! I miss it still!

      @EmmaColbertArt  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks Charlotta, as I've said to someone else here...
      You really won't get the same vibrance from your pastels by mixing rather than having the exact colour. In mark making there is no better thing than having the right colour stick. BUT...you can use mixing and blending to create certain effects. Often I'd rather use 3 colours layered up to create a colour than lay down one flat colour. It adds more depth. Like doing watercolour washes that build up gradually. And of course you can use this to tint colour that you've put down already that isn't quite right. If you're starting out with few pastels, it's useful!
      Seldom listen to those who use the words 'you can't' or 'it's forbidden' haha! Rules are just suggestions in art!

    Do you only use Unison? Thank you for these tutorials, they are so helpful.

    • @EmmaColbertArt
      @EmmaColbertArt  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Rose. Unison make up about 80% of my pastel collection. I have a Terry Ludwig dark set that I use a lot, and then a vast mixture of all the other brands. But Unison are definitely my favourite overall. Although I'm an affiliate artist of theirs so it seems likely I'd say that, they were my favourite long before I was given that opportunity.

    @VintageJoBeth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This was so very helpful! I was under the impression that you couldn’t really mix colours with soft pastels hence why the need to have so many different colours that you see pastel artists have… so is that more then for convenience? (Or the joy of buying beautiful colours..!) 🎀

    This was a great help. My one question is that I noticed in your middle trey there was a pastel labeled Grey. How would I have known it was actually a green? Does unison have a explanation of colors to numbers? Again thank you.

    • @EmmaColbertArt
      @EmmaColbertArt  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. I choose to organise my colours how I see them next each other. When I compare those green/greys to my blue/greys or my yellow/greys it's obvious to me that there is a tint of green in them. Many of my colours are borderline, they could go in a couple of different boxes, so it's never an exact science. Maybe some other artists will put all their greys and neutral tones together, I just like to split them up into the different colour groups. No right or wrong way to do it. Have a look at some other artists and how they organise too.

  • @reelynn77
    @reelynn77 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If you are doing small things like grass, how do you blend the colors? Seems like it would make it not very defined?

    • @EmmaColbertArt
      @EmmaColbertArt  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are definitely certain times when you just need the right colour and can not mix two together. You're right, for grass and fur and very defined marks it's good to have the correct colours in stick form. However, for example with fur, you can lay all the individual marks down and the different coloured marks will mix together when you step back. So fur can be multicoloured up close, but the right shade of brown from a distance.

    Emma, I would be more than pleased to join your art channel,but having read the comments about Patreon I am somewhat hesitant and not confident In using their channel.Is there any other way of acquiring your tutorials.

    • @EmmaColbertArt
      @EmmaColbertArt  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi James, At the moment all my main tutorials are only through Patreon. In the future I intend to have them available to purchase also on my website. In defence of Patreon, I've been with them since 2018 now and they've been very professional. Anyone who has had a logistical problem on my channel has had it sorted out and it runs very smoothly on the whole. It's always good to be wary of sites where you're putting your bank details though so I understand completely. But I don't have anything negative to report from my side on Patreon and have had people subscribe monthly right from when I started my channel.

    Hiya I’m trying into get a deeper understanding of hue vs colour temperature and I wonder if maybe your use of the term ‘ colour temperature’ might be a bit wrong if temperature should go from warm (red) to cool (blue) passing through white in the middle? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature
