All right. Hey everyone. I wanted to, there's some questions about color of temperature,

so I wanted to do just a quick video explaining a little bit further. So yeah, this is, it's

a complicated thing. It's hard to explain in words. And for me, first couple classes

that I took where they talked about this, I didn't get it. It took me, it wasn't until

like years later, maybe like a year or two, maybe three years later, where I felt like

I really started to understand it. But one of those breakthrough moments for me was when

Mark Bojus explained it in a way. He explained it in a very, very simple, easy to understand

way. So this is Mark Bojus. He's very similar to Richard Schmidt. I think Mark studied from

Richard a long time ago. So that's why there's some similarities there. But yeah, let me

kind of go through what I learned from Mark and how I understand it. So here's a couple

paintings. I actually have a giant print of this one. So I'm always looking at it like

in my room. But yeah, color temperature is, you know, you can't say that, you know, if

I pick a random color here, I can't say that this, this is always a warm color, or this

is always a warm color, or this is always a cool color, because you could put this color

next to another color that makes it feel warm, or you could put next to a different color

that makes it feel cool. So part of the reason why this week, we're doing limited palettes,

you know, both these paintings, they have a limited palette, they're not, they're not

putting every color in the rainbow in there. So, so this is like a baby step into understanding

temperature. So we're not over over complicating things, we're not trying to have tons of color

relationships, where we're simplifying things so you can easily see. If I just zoom in,

we'll just look at this little part of the hill here. The hill we have both in both these

images that they're kind of overcast, this is the easiest kind of lighting to see is

to understand these color temperature ideas, because we just have the, like the ambient

cloudy neutral lighting, kind of evenly hitting everything from, you know, from one one direction.

So we have the hill here. And then we have shadow areas in this hill. So that's basically

what's what's happening. So if you, if we like, this is a 3D image, we have the geometry,

something like that. So things like this line would go here and then it would go in, you

know, like that. So, these parts here that are the dark blue, these parts, these are,

I'm painting them pink now, these, these parts are the deep shadows that aren't going to

be affected by that neutral ambient light. Okay, so we understand the form of this. Now

let's look at what's happening to the colors. We just pick some of these colors. Just randomly

picking some, picking some on the light on that light side. Remember, here, this is where

we're getting the light. So I'm picking those those colors. Now, let's look up here. Let's

see where this color lands. We're kind of like in the middle here. We're in this middle

section, all these colors seem to be in this kind of zone. Okay, so let's go back here.

Let's see what these colors do. These are these dark colors that are in these deep shadows.

Okay, so these are not being hit by light. So remember these, they're all in this middle

zone. Now let's look at these. This, they obviously get really dark, but they jumped

up in saturation. All these colors are, are now here in saturation. Let's look at what

happens to the hue. The hue is a little bit more of this orangey yellow. When we go to

the shadows, they go deep red orange. So we go from here to here. It's a subtle shift,

but with seeing this, we can see and understand the color, the temperature shift. We go from

cool to warm. And we know why, because we have a cool, neutral atmosphere coming down

and affecting these colors where it can't affect these colors, because these are in

like the deep crevices. Remember this plane goes from here to here, so that that atmosphere

isn't going to get in here. Yeah, so that's, that's the basics of color temperature. So

this is like, like the simple idea, but you can, you can take this idea and this is why

in the lesson, we went through master paintings and we, we analyze the colors and just seeing

these relationships, like an understanding this relationship here. Now, I can take that

and apply it to a photo study or something like my own creative work. So the more of

these you do, the more you're expanding your knowledge of color temperature and your, your

color, you're broadening your color like vocabulary. So then you'll have more, more of these colors

to use. And you could go through this whole whole painting and pick out like this color,

very deep, saturated, dark, and now compared to these. And we will look at the saturated

these colors are, look how cool they are. Saturation doesn't always mean warm, warmer.

Like we saw what happened here. The colors went from like yellow to red, and that gave

us that hue, that hue difference, that temperature difference. So it's really about the feeling

you have to feel. This color feels warmer. This color feels cooler. And why is that?

I know this is a difficult topic. It's like, complicated. It's kind of complicated when

you're not used to thinking about color this way. But yeah, we'll continue to talk about

it and feel free to ask questions. Awesome. Thank you.
