Any good tutorials about Color?

Bokchee · Oct 2015

I am trying to start to learn color as i can do for digital painting, especially hand painting stuff. I tried to look for anything, But most of the videos are timelapse, which is confused me.

James Gurney's book Color and Light is an amazing resource.

Good stuff, well it's more about color theory but still it's worth to see

taking a painting class, if you have one available around, could help a lot;
I'd recommend dabbing into acrylics, and maybe even oils - they don't really mix according to some sort of formula you'll know in advance, and provide interesting results that you won't likely achieve painting digitally (unless you're directly referencing a traditional painting by an established artist).

James Gurney's book is also great.

Be warned there's a lot of misinformation out there! James Gurney's book is a great start especially if it's all new to you. He recommends my site in the Further Reading at the end, so read it if you want to know more, but it's meant to be taken slowly.

See especially the section on principles of colour and light at the end. Muzz's Color Constructor is a good way of putting some of these into practice:

Thank you guys.
I found this site http://www.ctrlpaint.com/
Any few words about it? It's good for a start?

Yeah, i want to learn everything as much as possible, basic and in-depth tutorials would be good.

If you've got US$ 50, there's this course:

And yes, Ctrl+Paint is very good too.

This video is terrible. At one point he advocates for random colour shifts justifying it by sampling over exposed Christmas lights.

You should spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

RN · Oct 2015

That's disappointing.
Now that you mention it, he uses that black body colour temperature gradient in that Christmas lights example, and the explanation seems a bit off.

But the videos have a nice selection of photos showing how light behaves (reflection etc.), and he teaches how to observe these.
The "Gnomon Workshop" price tag is off-putting.

Yeah it's completly dumb. Black body radiation has nothing to do with overexposure colour shift. That's just colour clipping in the separate rgb channels, when overexposed.
