Color Theory Ep. 6 | Customising Your Color Wheel Palette Part 1

- The color wheel palette is an amazing learning tool for learning about color mixing and color theory, but it might not contain colors that you would normally use in your painting practice. This video is going to show you how you can change up the colors and still be able to use all the useful function a color wheel palette has.

Why has nobody ever showed me this before? Thank you Oto! You’re filling a huge void in the CZcams watercolor world.
Aw I am so glad this has helped! :D Thank you for watching.
i know that this is a slightly older video, but this is EXACTLY what i have been scouring the internet for. I should have know to check your channel. you really are the most thorough and informative person when it comes to understanding how colour and watercolour works on youtube, and i can always trust that if i have a query or a confusion about different pigments, you probably have a video that covers it. you videos are marvelous, thank you so much for all the work you do
Awwww yay, I am so glad that the video was what you were searching for :D If you ever have a query that I don’t have a video about, please do ask me, because I’d be happy to make videos about things I haven’t covered yet.
Wow, this is the BEST series
Hi Dr Oto, this exercise is very key for me! I have to settle down and arrange my favorites as you did in a color wheel; so far I have been floundering with random mixtures and have wasted a lot of time and paint. My favorite colors are yellow green and manganese blue; I realize I don’t have their complements in my palette at all! If i has done these exercises in the first place I would have seen the GAO immediately! It didn’t occur to me to alter the color wheel to include my favorite colors! Thank you!
I loved this a lot, customizing a palette can be very intimidating or feel like a "no-no". You've clearly shown us here that a palette is just a tool for us to use, and that we can make it our own if we want! :D
Aw thank you Eve, I know what you meant, I was totally intimidated to customise before.
Such an ingenious explanation of the colour theory. Methodical, logical, step-by-step. Thank you for sharing your deep insights into the world of colour.
The best video on the topic I have ever seen, thank you so much.
Artvation Mocte I couldn’t agree more , this lady is a gem !
I'm in awe at the amount of work you put into your color palette, it's so fun to see the analytical nature in which you construct it. It inspires me to create a limited palette for myself! I haven't used a limited palette since college (were were very strictly allowed 3 colors), so in practice I understand mixing colors, I just appreciate being lazy I guess.
Truly the best colour theory videos out there! Thank you for making it so clear, I've learned so much. 🌸
Hi Oto. Your color wheel series got me to understand the color wheel and have less anxiety over it. My brain always rebeled over it because of the set in stone presentations of it. You show it is not set in stone and how to customize it. Brilliant!! It's the neutralization. You rock! 💜
Aw thank you Annette. Yes color is totally adaptable to what you want it to do! Have fun neutralising!
Found the palette I constructed as the result of this series years ago and started rewatching - SO much useful information. Really enjoying the rewatch and am seeing things I’d change with the current selection of paints I own. Appreciate how easily digestible you’ve made everything ❤️
I learn so much each time I re-watch these!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this series! Thank you so much! Maybe you could add an episode on exercises or small paintings we can do to test out our Color Wheel Palettes (I think we should call them “CWP!”).
What kind of things are you thinking of Rosi?
Thank you for this entire series, Oto. This episode is enlivening! I'm really grateful to know how to customize the color wheel palette. Very useful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series now too.
This is such a helpful and fun series! I challenged myself to create a color wheel palette using only paints I already owned and did exactly that kind of color mixing comparison for each pair. I’m really enjoying playing with the result!
So glad you are having fun mixing colors and creating your own palette!
Oto, what a brilliant idea! Will work with my basics and do as you say, see which colors I don't use very much and substitute the ones I love and audition them to see which have the best neutralizing colors. Thanks for another great watercolor color theory video!!!!!!
This is such a good advice and I totally get what you mean! Thank you so much!
Aw yay! So glad it was easy to understand :D
Actually, in Van Gogh watercolours, you can mix Ultramarine Deep with both Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber to produce greys. Burnt Sienna makes particularly beautiful soft greys while Burnt Umber makes deep greys. Note that Van Gogh’s Ultramarine Deep is closer to a violet-blue than it is to an ultramarine.
Phthalo green BS is my all time favourite mixing colour. Like. I basically just mix it with anything and I'm stoked!!!
Thanks Oto, very useful information.
You are so welcome Julio, thank you for watching!
I love this series! I’m gonna be sad when it’s over haha
Thank you for showing us how to customize our own palette. I can hardly wait for part 2! Thank you Dr. Kano!
You are so welcome Robin, thank you for watching!
Thank you
I like quin rose with veridian and what I’ve used for years, I like the more slightly purple mis and the granulation which makes for beautiful shadows. Ultramarine with burnt sienna or Van dyke brown for the same reason stated before while the “neutral” mixes vary I love the granulation effects as a shadow color. Great vid Oto really enjoying this series and recommend it to my students, thanks as always for all your efforts.
Aw thank you so much for recommending the series to your students Antony, I really appreciate it :)
Of course Oto but please don’t thank me you are doing all the hard work here and it shows, and with the support of all your wonderful patreons who support your work your channel will grow as well as your viewership. I recommend your channel to not just my students but to everyone in our watercolor community down here in Guadalajara Mexico even though many of them do not understand English (my Spanish is sorely lacking by the way.) those that do express to me “thank you” just for making the suggestion. I just wanted you and your patreons to know how much your appreciated down here as there are no channel equivalent in Spanish.
Thank you so much for pushing though and making this series for us noobs. I’m still catching up myself, so I commend you for using your spoons for us. ❤️& 🐹s
Thank you Mikey, I really appreciate you commenting :)
This whole series has been so helpful to me. There are some colors on the color wheel I never touch (like the yellow-orange like you) and I just so happened to get a tube of Transparent Red-Oxide so I'm excited to see how it mixes with my French Ultramarine. Thank you for sharing all of this information.
woooo really hope you enjoy mixing TRO with your ultramarine. While you are at it, try mixing TRO with phthalo blue green shade, it's beautiful
Wouldn't the most effective method be to start with a trio... or the split primary if vibrancy is the main goal vs cohesion... and mix the secondaries from it, instead of adding multiple other pigments into the mix? Based off the fact they do not cancel each other to neutral they were not correct.. they just appeared to be based off hue alone. Logic dictates that if you were only dealing with three pigments, all of their secondary and tertiary colors would be related to each other and therefore neutralize the same as the parent shades. Every color would be more pure. This color wheel palette is mixing twelve pigments and hoping for the best. I noticed multiple pairings did not mix to a true neutral.
You are an amazing teacher !!!! I’m 62 years old been doing art for 44 years and finally you are making me really understand colour theory!
I wonder whether a circular pallet is easier though ....have you seen the Robax pallets that Angela Fehr recommends? That would make it easier to add colours as and when , I still can’t quite get my head around the rectangular pallet but I’m trying !
Thank you
This series is so helpful and informative. Thank you! I also rarely use phthalo green and was grudgingly going to leave it anyway, for now. :) I'm going to go play around with my other greens that I love! I think most people use ultramarine/burnt sienna for grey... Peter Sheeler uses ultramarine /sepia... trans red oxide is a nice choice! There are lots of options!!
agreed!
I agree Holly, there are so many different options, it's wonderful to be able to create the greys you want using the colors you enjoy painting with.
Thanks :-)
Hi Oto, I have loved this series. I have quite a number of M. Graham tubes, which you know are really big. I'd really like to use these for my palette for now.Could you recommend an M. Graham palette as you did with the others?
Personally I found that a red brown neutralizes pthalo blue green shade well so I didn't include the scarlet lake and use pthalo green yellow shade instead of the blue shade. I think I'll wait for the next episode which might show if dioxazine violet neutralizes the yellow in the way I want because I prefer it to ultramarine violet. Thank you for such an informative video!
I'd love to know which color neutralizes dioxazine violet too. Ultramarine violet is not a color I'm particularly drawn to either.
Off the top of my head, I would try using cool yellow or a greenish yellow colors to neutralise a dioxazine violet. since it's more red than ultramarine violet, you need to go more towards the green to neutralise it. It'll be easier to explain in a video!
Could you select Gamblin Oil colors to go with your color wheel for those of us who paint with oils? Thank you
Can you please list the full color palette for M.Grahm as it was an alternative to the schminke?... schmink is way to hard for me to get ahold of.
Oto, what about the yelows?
