I got the shock of my life when I looked back through my old 5e D&D players handbook and saw your name in the credits! How do you do it Vince? full time job, married, dogs, warhammer weekly, intricate painting tutorials and now with this fancy editing? You're a machine. I love this exploring colours series, turquoise is one of my favourite colours to paint with, but I always feel I have to use it sparingly as otherwise it can look garish.
Well, if you have no actual life, work every minute of your free time and sleep less, you would be surprised how much you can accomplish. ;)
I want to add to the part of why the orange teal combination is so popular in movies . skin tones often lay in the orange to brown spectrum so color grading the movie to orange and teal automatically makes faces pop more and put more emphasis on the actor without losing the vibrancy of the movie.
Yep, exactly correct.
Teal/ turquoise and magenta have long been a favourite combination of mine, but I'm fairly certain you have influenced that with many of your works. It's just such a pleasing combination of colors.
It's really wonderful.
I love the palette with the colours expanding off in both directions, great visual aid
Thanks, I want to do stuff like that more. :)
I never clicked on a video this fast
Exploring colors is my preferred series from Vince
Nice to see u here. Love your channel too! Your blending tips improved my painting immensely :)
Thank you brother, this is a fun series to do for sure. Hope you're well my man.
Looking forward to the composition video. Making the best use of saturated and desaturated colours together on a miniature is something I find challenging, although very rewarding when I get it right. Still pretty new to the hobby so I think I, like a lot of newer painters, probably lean too much into saturated colours and don't quite know how to use desaturation effectively.
It's an important lesson, I may do a video on desaturated painting specifically. :)
I know I've said it many times, but Vince, you're the best. You sharing your knowledge to us is just amazing.
My pleasure!
Another eye opening video in how to use a colour in my collection that I've really avoided not knowing how to, this has helped thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect timing as this was a colour I’m considering for my next army! Also the production quality of your videos seems much higher than the last I checked (which was admittedly far too long ago, but what can I say… RL gets in the way…)
Found this very informative - thanks as always!
Always happy to help. :)
@@VinceVenturella I was wondering if you were planning to do more videos on painting with oils, particularly on the differences between using transparent and opaque oil paints and when you might want to use one over the other?
Just coming across this, such a challenging colour to work with and this was exactly what I needed to progress. Thanks!
Thanks Vince, Exploring Colors is always amazing and this one gives great information on a fantastic, useful colour.
Two things that I feel are important about this color, to integrate what you said.
One, Turquoise/Cyan are absolute bastards to find pigments of. There are very few natural pigments in this color, and they're ultra expensive. Miniature and non-higher end color ranges basically 100% use Phtalo Blue + Pthalo Green to make their Teal, and add a ton of Titanium White to that to make Turquoise (if you have the Daler Rowney, you can see it very well, since the white separates if you leave it there a while). So, Teal will tend to be a little less saturated (due to being a mix), very transparent and very intense like the Phtalos -- unless the mix is deliberately altered, and in that case further desaturated. Turquoise, instead, will basically always be very opaque since that's what Titanium White is all about.
The other thing, Cyan (which is Turquoise-adjacent, so I think it's relevant) is naturally a "high spot" on the color wheel, like yellow (activates our blue and and green color receptors, like yellow activates our red and green). So, like yellow, it would be a natural highlight of both neighboring colors, except in practice it doesn't work as well because of the aforementioned issue where there isn't a viable pigment (also, it would be a child highlight of green, which is not always very natural looking). It's more relevant to understand that it can't really be highlighted with other colors -- you can only make it lighter by adding white. For instance, your ice yellow will kind of be softened as a highlight, because the white in it is brightening but the yellow is actually darkening it by shifting it towards green, which is naturally darker (I don't mean to imply it's necessarily a bad thing).
Sorry about the rant.
No rant at all, that is all wonderful detail and information!
My goodness Vince, I would in no way be a competent painter without your instruction. There needs to be an international award for services to art and miniature painting, and it needs your name on it.
That is too generous, I am grateful to help as always :)
Hey Vince, I am making a Warhammer army and my color palette is VMC Dark Sea Green, Turquoise and Blue-Green and even using Glacier Blue to brighten my Blue-Green as needed. So this video made me feel so confident in my choices! I'd love to show it to you as a fellow man of culture who enjoys the turquoise/teal. I'll be using some of these tips for more impact (such as the purple for some variation on shadows) and Ice yellow! Lov your videos
Fantastic, very happy to help. :)
Love this series! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
I love these color exploration videos. You do such a great job going into color theory and making it simple enough that I can understand it. I'm very excited for the color composition video! Thank You for making these.
Wonderful, I'm glad to help as always. :)
So glad to see another Color series video! One of my favourite HC series, I personally keep coming back to these to remind myself of ways that I can make more interesting my colours. Thanks for this Vince!
Always happy to help. :)
Your exploring colour videos are some of my favourites. Thanks for your hard work. Cheers
Glad you like them! :)
Thanks very much for an excellent survey and explanation of this color range, along with the practical demonstration of how the shadow and highlight colors can be utilized. You’re are an excellent teacher and I really appreciate the time you spend and the knowledge you share in each of your videos!
Thank you, the goal is always to share and I am very glad it was helpful.
I've loved the exploring colours videos so I'm very excited to see it continue. I find the explanation about how people interpret colours in different areas fascinating and also how colours are used in popular culture as well as historically. Absolutely fantastic videos, keep it up Vincey V 😁
Thank you, glad it was helpful. :)
Hey Vince! Just wanted to let you know I’m really into the color composition thing now like combining saturated with desaturated and contrasting colors. Really cool video about the color turquoise and teal. I feel like you’re literally pouring out wisdom out of every pore in your body. Cheers and have a wonderful week beautiful people!🌞🙏🏼
Great to hear!
This was probably the best "exploring colors". Love that you showed all those ways of using the color.
Thank you, glad it was helpful. :)
I really love these dives into colors, history, effect on human eye, complimentary colors, how much saturation should be put on. Well done sir.
Thank you! Cheers!
Much better soundmixing on this one vince! The content itself is as good as ever.
Glad you think so! - Still trying to improve. :)
The exploring colour videos always cause several big clicks in my brain. Super informative. Video is looking crisp and better than ever too.
Awesome, happy to help.
So good! A genius level succinct explanation of how to choose shadow and highlight colours
Thanks!
Loved seeing the highlight and shadows broken down; incredibly helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this series! great stuff
Glad you enjoy it!
This was awesome, thanks Vince.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this vid. Please keep them coming. Informative and fun to watch.
More to come for sure.
This is wonderful! First, well done on the sound, it was a pleasant surprise. Secondly, I am glad to see that my instinct of matching my deep red, gold and cream with teal on my Sacrosanct is the right call. But it makes it very clear to me how much more I need to actively think about complementary colours and how to use them to create fantastic shadows. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these color explorations. Thanks!
Glad you like them! :)
My favorite colors too, thanx Vince!
My pleasure!
On point as always, thank you !
Appreciated!
Damn Vince. Always bringing the fire to color combinations. 🔥
Always happy to help. :)
one of the best of this color series. will definitely use this on more minis!
Awesome. :)
Vince, I love the new format, so much better to see what you're doing visually!
Journey of improvement continues!
This is great. I really like this style of video. Watching this while im halfway through my AOS Tzeentch army thats using this exact colour combo. I wondered why i liked it so much!
Awesome, always happy to help.
Awesome video! And pretty fitting, given that i just started to paint my new year's new army tyranid project exactly in this combination: Rusty skin, teal carapace. Love this combination.
Sounds awesome to me.
First time I come across one of your videos and suscribed instantly, I love your work and this videos are trully a learning gem.
Welcome aboard! Very happy to have you along on the hobby journey and I am always happy to help.
That was quick !
Indeed.
Yes! If you couldn't tell, turqoise/cyan on red is my favourite contrast pair.
It's a great looking combo
Great summary of a great colour. Thanks. I'm thinking of painting Nagash using purple/blue contrast.
Sounds great!
I’ve noticed, particularly in some TV shows this year, a shift to the use of a red-brown-green palette be it set decor, costuming or more generally within the spectrum chosen to ‘correct’ the moving image itself. Delightful and insightful, liked and subscribed.
Awesome, glad to have you along on the hobby journey.
Nice one Vince, the picture quality and sound has really improved, and the content is as informative as always 👍
Great to hear!
Thanks again, Vince!
Always happy to help.
Thanks Vince! always love to watch your videos, they're a wealth of information. Keep up the good work brother! :)
I appreciate that!
This is a pretty timely video, Vince! Thank you. I just purchased Warcolours Turquoise set and then BAM - this video :)
There you go.
Happy to see the exploring colors series continue!
Absolutely, as long as there are colors, it will continue. :)
Awesome as usual ! Thanks a lot again ;)
Thanks!
Woah! Huge improvement in the camera quality in the painting segment.
Seems much sharper and easier to see the finer details.
That's the goal. :) - Should be more of that in the future, on the journey of improvement.
Looking forward to the composition video you talked about. This was great btw! I am definately going to try out highlighting turquise with sunny skintone 👍
Awesome.
There is a start collecting Ironjawz box on my shelf that will benefit from these here teachings.. thanks Vince!
Excellent, happy to help. :)
Good Job vince. Its funny since i Start watching your Content, i pay more attention to Colors everyday.
Thanks.
That's awesome! :)
Probably my favorite color! The naming conventions with it are definitely confusing though. And I don't even think you mentioned Cyan lol great vid though! Can't wait to put this new knowledge into action when I start doing some rust and verdigris on these plague marines I just started assembling! 😁
Nope, saving Cyan for the future. ;)
Awesome video :)! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Alpharius(es) salute you for this video!
well, I am Alpharius. ;)
Also makes my brain scream because of Poison dart frogs, the most iconnic of which to me are teal/orange. This color combo generally screams "Danger" to me, especiallly when they are very bright!
I was just debating on using these colors in a new sisters army! Like the format and presentation!!!
Awesome!
YEESSSS you're back! Love this series!
Thank you, happy to help. :)
@@VinceVenturella life would be less bright without the 'strict technomancer that's Vinci V... let's get to the technique~'
Love this series!
Thanks!
great video. appreciate the mixing combo suggestions
Glad to help. :)
Also one of my fav colors. Love a diluted Akhelian Green (very slightly greenish) contrast blue over warm white as well!
Absolutely. :)
Excelent video! My favourite turquoise is Adriatic blue (Scale 75). Please keep doing exploring colors videos, they are fantastic! I suggest you to do a cyan video, talking about the primary color of the CMYK system, and also a magenta video would be nice too!
Thanks, will do!
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thank you!
Turquoise aka the most beautiful color on the planet!
No disagreement here.
The next great video. I like your colour-series.
Thank you, glad you enjoy. :)
Thank you!
I'm working on my Stormhost and teal/turquoise is the color that makes the army pop. This video was super helpful.
Always happy to help. :)
Fascinating
very much looking forward to the video about working with de/saturation.
It should be a fun video for sure. :)
Amazing video!
Thanks!
Vince, I would like to see close-in stills at the ends of your videos so I can pause and take a good look of what the final effect is. With you still holding the mini cocked to paint, it is harder to visualize what the final product looks like, IMO.
I also really enjoy teal. It may not be as interesting, but I really like color schemes with teal on black. As a matter of fact, my CSM are painted with black power armor with teal trim and red/orange cloth. I think it looks good together!
You will often see those in upcoming videos, in this case, I didn't really finish this miniature, it was more just for explanation, but you will see that in future videos. :)
Very helpful, thanks. I recently painted a mini from GW Deepkin range and the end result felt a bit too cold and blue while I wanted a more "tropical" tone. I see now that I could have been bolder with my choices for shadows and highlights :-)
It's never bad to be bold. :)
I just think you're wonderful Vince.
Thank you, happy to help.
this is why it papper inserts for transporting/displaying oranges is "blue" or more teal. just to make the oranges pop and look better :)
Yep
Can't believe it took you that long to get to teal..... As usual, great serie!
No one is more surprised than me.
Great tip about mixing orange red for shadows. Production quality seems improved already dude.
Great to hear, the journey of improvement continues. :)
The teal orange color treatment in films is also due to skin tones having an orange base, and teal allowing for the faces to “pop” with contrast, if you want that character to pop out of the scene, make them in a teal shifted environment, want them to feel a part of the environment? Make it shifted orange.
For a non-artist newbie, the general idea of shading with the complimentary color was a “wow” moment. I can see in retrospect how it works on the color wheel, but I feel like I’m freed from darker to lighter shades of the same color.
Exactly! Don't be afraid to mix those colors. :)
Another great video! This is making me want to paint a miniature with that turquoise/orange color scheme.
Can't wait for the video on color compositions, I really struggle with that. I usually go for a realistic look based on the box art (zombicide), but very often my miniatures end up looking pretty dull and dark
Coming soon!
Great video as always I have been wanting to play with some of my favorite colors (this being one of them) but I need to figure out what to put it on lol
Any figure you can grab. :)
The most highly valued turquoise mineral color is "robin's egg blue" - so actually much more on the blue side. It is rarely like this however (darn impurities), and usually ends up paler, and more green. So even comparing "turquoise" to the namesake is a bit of a mixed bag!
There you go.
Great video! I think you forgot to put the magenta exploring colors into the playlist btw.
Omg i love these videos
Thanks! :)
my fav color, nice
Awesome. :)
The new 40k Drukhari codex cover is a good example of the religious use - hehe ;)
Yep
Yes! These series on the colors are the absolute best. Thanks again vince, turqoise really is a favorite. In the previous episodes of exploring colors you always mentioned the undercoat (skin color for yellow was an eye-opener for me), but you didn't here. Is the coverage over black always this good? Is it preferred over white or gray undercoats? Also, I would've loved to see the orange-red on the mini you are painting to really get a feel for how far you can drag this out before it not longer looks right.
Anything white.grey is basically fine, they don't cover super great, so anything that isn't pure black is good.
I can't believe it's taken this long to see this one as Vince bleeds teal.
You're not wrong.
I have a suggestion for a video. Earthy/muted colour pallette. I've found I tend to paint in muted colours, even up to highlighting and want to know how I can make it work more with how I see colour.
Sure, I was very much thinking about a desaturated colors video. :)
Another awesome video. I've been wanting to experiment a bit with these colours for awhile as I've seen so many beautiful models using it.
I always seem to shy away from though currently for more conservative colours, which I'm not sure is due mostly to the subject of my current projects (typically Cursed City etc) or me simply not being bold enough 😅
I say go nuts, no reason to hold back. :)
Liked it a lot ! would have loved a little more into special stuff like turquoise OSL (greenish cyan ?). Btw teal blue is my favourite color and i understand better why now ^^
Well, you might not have to wait too long on such an exploration. ;)
And again on the new 40k T'au cover. Teal orange/red scheme. 😜
Yep, it's everywhere.
Been pairing Teal with Magenta a lot lately. Really like the color combo on tentacles.
It's a great combo.
Another superb and informative video, thank you, Vince. Could you possibly make a video focussing on drying retarder? I know you've covered it along with other additives in the past, but I'm struggling with my Vallejo bottle, as it makes the paint too thick and streaky. Many thanks!
Yeah, the vallejo one is basically useless, the Warcolours or Liquitex is really better, it's a simple liquid you mix. That being said, I will add it to the list.
Turquoise is one of my favorite colors too, and I even ordered several Warcolours based around their Turquoise set to paint Eowyn. (which I still need to paint...). As much as I love this color, I honestly do not know what else to use them on beside a single mini, but been thinking about ideas...maybe as part of my necrons?
I have seen some awesome turquoise necrons.
Well there's something I cannot unsee in modern films and series... 😅
Yep, it's hard to unsee.
The complimentary colors to make things pop idea has been what I have been working on lately. Really good tutorial.
Do you ever use effects like gloss, satin or others to enhance these complimentary colors based on the material, like gems or glass?
Not usually, I usually use placed lights as opposed to the finish.
Nice video! :)
On the topic of colors.
Have you done any video about Color wheel?
It could be cool if you made a video about the scientific Color wheel, (not the 1800's faulty one that primery schools keep teaching) and how you can use that?
Where you have Cyan, Yellow And Magenta as your 3 Subtractive primery colors, and red green blue as your primery addative colors.
____________________________
Subtractive focused color wheel is of more importance when painting :)
Addative meaning casting light on something, like a TV works with RBG, Subtractive is reflected light, like from paints, or with a printer CMY-K (K is the black)
Anyway have a great day!
I did an old one, but it's likely worth a revist soon.
I love how despite being in the very general blue range (so cooler) turquoise and teal work really nice as warm and cold colours because of the intensity of them.
Absolutely.
Huh, I was fussing a lot about what exact colour of teal/turquoise I should be using for my verdigris effects. Turns out I was worrying a lot over nothing! Thanks! :D
You got it - they all work!
