LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
In this lesson, I'll share my secret weapon for color: using grays to create powerful color vibrations. I'll start by explaining how each color reaches its peak saturation at a different value. Understanding this is key to making better color choices. Then, I'll show you my shortcut for creating subtle temperature shifts by desaturating a color, all without changing your hue. This is the effect of simultaneous contrast. I'll demonstrate how to apply this to maintain consistent values in your light and shadow shapes, making your paintings more believable and exciting.

Create powerful color vibrations by desaturating your colors.
A gray of the same value can create a temperature shift without changing hues. This effect, called simultaneous contrast, is a shortcut to adding subtle warmth or coolness. This allows you to build color harmony while maintaining a clear value structure.
this means the color cube is wrong as it shows all colors at their most saturated in the same top right corner when they should not be in the same spot?? what form of palette should we use? the triangle in a circle?
