ARE YOU IN A PALETTE RUT?

This is so helpful!

Thanks Nick Always so helpful, Grateful Thanks! !!

Why it has taken me so long to understand this. omg. Thank you

Really helpful. Simply and quickly explained.

Name

I going to try this because I want to be able to choose color schemes better. I paint in water color and acrylic. I don't really like to stick to the original scheme from a reference photo

Wow! This was really a great tip!! Thanks a lot!

YES!!! Many of us landscape oil painters use a "mother color" that's in all the other colors..just don't get toooo mixy and muddy with it...it's a delicate balance!!

Wow, what an eye opener for me. I was always pulling out the colors of ocean (blue and turquoise). I can't wait to try this on my next piece!

Hello, Nicholas! I'm glad to see you teaching this. I came up with a quite similar method of color harmonizing when I was in art school, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth! LOL Well, almost... It was 1973 and hard-edge painting was going strong at that time in the TTUSOA (Texas Tech University School of Art) Several of my professors had come from LA Art Institute, and Chinaud (i can't spell it but it was a big deal art school in LA decades ago). Anyway, I'm not sure why I bring this up except that I remember my color harmonizing scheme was not learned from them, I came up with it myself.
I was painting hard edge, taping off all shapes, painting on masonite hardboard, and I had that process DOWN!! I used wall paint rollers to avoid all paint marks (minimalism was right in my face, too) and I would wash the paint rollers after every color. It was quite a process oriented way to create paintings. I guess pulling off the tape was fun when I got to see the razor sharp lines of the Liquitex paint shapes next to each other. Yeah, it was :)
But my harmonizing - a lot like your method here. I would mix up, or down, really, a big jar of my "base color" as I called it. Then the other colors of the painting would be made from that base color. I could put any colors into the base color and it would work. Subtle colors were a big deal then, so usually I would have mostly close value colors, harmonized just like you're doing here :)
I 'm not sure I've ever told too many (or any) people how I came up with the colors. Your average person isn't too interested in color mixing... haha

Omg...thank you..thank you..thank you...color.harmony, so simply done! THANK YOU Nicholas Wilton!

Glad to watch this video, I do get in the rut of using the same color all the time. Thanks for the tip.

Loved it !

💓

Thanks 🙏heaps! Going to try this tomorrow!

Gee, where were u thirty years ago when I got stuck on color????

WONDERFUL

Thanks! Thanks! And more thanks!👍🏻

Thank you so much for this great information. Have been painting for years, but never understood this important aspect of color. Kind thoughts to you.

That’s great and as you know you can also use the golden glaze all over the work at the end to harmonise. I’m returning to painting after a long absence and these videos are really motivating :-)

Wow! I’ve been struggling to integrate a landscape-esque palette into my abstract work. I watched this video and I’m already seeing promising results! Thanks! I can also see how it would be useful to pick the complementary color of the “mother” color - unmixed - to add contrast.

Thanks!🤣😂🤣😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

“I don’t use this color much. I don’t even know what this color is.” 😆 I loved that lesson! Just discovered your lessons and am staying up way too late watching them all!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! That is so freakin helpful!!

I love the pallet.. Just frame that.

Love those colors, and you made those unique!! Wonderful! Thank you. Mahalo! Love that book too.

Four year in art school and I learned more about the nature of color harmony from you. Much appreciated!

I’m not seeing the link for the Golden glaze. Love this video. Simplicity at its best. Thanks ❤️

Thank you - very interesting and I would have loved to watch just one of the pages from your illustration work kept totally still just for a short moment. They looked so beautifull but you showed them in a rush. And I would have loved to see the book cover and the title of the book and even a link to where It can be bought.
And the same when you show a specific color like the super glazing color from Golden please hold the bottle still so that it is possible to read the name of the color. I did not get the name. Can anybody help?

really nice and that quinacridone [sp] gold was wow. Just a small thing but im 76 and trying to leave my niece and children some remembrance paintings. I started this during the pandemic. When I began it was embarrassing and now not so much. Your channel has been so helpful. Im grateful really

Loved this!

I haven't seen this until now..one year later.. 👍

Thanks Nicholas another great lesson from you. Excited to learn about harmonising colours and being surprised with change , thank you for sharing. Very helpful. Catmoon cheers

I think it will help in future explorations. Thank you.

Hi loving your vidios Where can i buy yor paonts i live inJersey in the channel islands

Learning so much , love it!

Fantastic. How do I find this final glaze to quickly harmonize the painting?

It’s 2022 and now there is a color available that’s similar to Golden Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold. It’s Liquitex or Golden Quinacridone Burnt Orange. I’ve never had both colors to compare, so I can’t speak to that, but it’s available and it’s gorgeous.

LOVE this video Nicholas!!! Also, LOVE your natural way of BEing: light-hearted, connected, clarity, simplicity, enjoyment...

Bravo bravo bravo👍

I love your tips, life changing, uplifting. I love art so much

I appreciate how fun and intuitive you make painting look. The way you showed how to harmonize colors feels freeing and accessible. I’m certainly going to try it out. Thanks

Brilliant thank you

I am new to your channel and I am ever so glad I found you and especially this video. I was struggling with my painting and didn't know how to work out my colours. Thanks for the
great video.

I notice again, you mix white too! I like that. Harmonizing with mother color! Thank you. Appreciate your teaching!

I go to the paint store and try to pick some colors I have never used before and then work with harmonizing them.

Great exercise! Thank you!❤

"I want to break free"...this looks like so much fun!!!!
I'm going to try this with co,ours I don't use.
Thanks Nicholas 😊

Wow, that was so useful! Far out, thank you
