Very interesting and informative lecture! One small thing...he's wrong about the color/light wavelengths. Violet light has a very short wave length and red light has a long wavelength. Yellow light is somewhere in the middle.

@CAfontguy I just use examples of different wavelengths to explain the concept - didn't bother about getting the actual wavelengths correct as an artists doesn't need to know the correct frequencies of light, just the fact that white light contains the full spectrum of light ;-)

I placed a comment here earlier and now it's gone!? Geez, must be gremlins in the system! Anyway, this was priceless information, I cannot thank you enough. It's not often one has the opportunity to have the basics broken down in such a clear and concise manner, it's the foundations that will help us all become better artists. Excellent stuff, thanks again! And again... and... now what happened to my last comment? Now, I'm off to practice mixing my primary's.. :o)

@TruthSeekingElf YT must be battling with something at the moment 'cos their stats system is also giving hassles. Anyway..thanks for the comment, glad the webinar helped you :-)

why did you cut it in half O_o ?

[PaintBasket]

@HoulMello The webinar is full length. Somehow after I had uploaded the original file, YT's processor software added a second copy of the video onto the end, so it ended up replaying a second time without sound -_- Apparently something to do with the format the original video was in.
