"if you don't understand the physics of color and light you probably aren't going to see it accurately in the natural world..." Nothing brings this home like seeing how relative even the best color vision is when colors are placed adjacent to one another. One thing I have learned is that colors are relative. What color we see has a lot to do with what colors are next to it, and how big a block of it we're looking at.
Brad, this is very useful to the beginner (me, for one.) It's clear, easy to understand principal. I liked the way you added screen notes for some points. Thanks for helping us.
Altarstudio, accurate color (correctly representing the physics of the natural world) and artistic interpretation (tweaking reality to fit your personal vision) are two aspects that an artist blends together. However, if you don't understand the physics of color and light you probably aren't going to see it accurately in the natural world. It is tough to balance but that unique blend is what makes each artist's work different.

Brad, You deserve enormous credit for posting such excellent educational information to all of us aspiring artists. You are a terrific teacher and sure to be a solid mentor. Your contributions are wa
you have cleared a mystery for me on colors, I love your analogy on the ball of clay (cuz I play with clay all the time) and I totally get it.
My problem is... what is the fine line between thinking about the composition and maintaining the physics of the lights and shadows? I understand the artists need to make choices that's good for the composition, yet needs to maintain believability, that's tough for me to balance.
Wow this video is amazing!! I love your work, I had no idea some painters go that deep into color, shadow, warmth ect, where in the heck can I learn some of this, it's so interesting, do you have any book recomend?? Thank you for sharing and making videos.
Many painters use color as the primary component of their composition. IN other words, they change the scene before them very little and use color to guide the eye. These color nuances can be very subtle and still maintain a sense of reality.
Go to my blog to get a list of really great books. The best one is the first one listed.
Excellent point. Some refer to color relativity as field effects. It is one way to get the intensity of reality. Thanks for the insight.

Great video explaining the cool shadows. Would love to see you post more on brushwork as well. Love your work!

Your vids make me want to pick up the real wet painting again, thanks for that!
Monet is one of my favourite painters! Amazing how he thought of modern ideas about lighting, like Global Illumination in 3d computer graphics.
