Green and violet are on the dividing line, so yellow green is warmer-than blue-green and red-violet is warmer than blue-violet. If you want to draw a dividing line through the whole color wheel, you could split those two colors there. But the essential usefulness of warm vs. cool colors is in the blue-orange dimension. If you leave violet and green out of a color scheme altogether (as Turner usually did), you can play with that basic dimension.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-51859733459849724992016-12-31T06:18:44.200-05:002016-12-31T06:18:44.200-05:00James, would you still agree with this warm/cool s...James, would you still agree with this warm/cool separation? I know now you use the Yurmby model, but in regards to the traditional YRB model, do you still agree with this kind of warm/cool separation?<br /><br />I noticed because in the "Warm and Cool" chapter in your "Color & Light" book, there are some conflicts against the Warm/Cool separation that you posted in this article.<br /><br />For example, in your book, Green is in the Warm category, while in this post it is in the Cool category.<br /><br />Would you be interested in updating your Warm/Cool separation of the YRB model or are you sticking with what you posted in this article?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252370373571623252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-75678129042231259262014-09-19T16:27:16.433-04:002014-09-19T16:27:16.433-04:00Thanks for the read Pre Search

They are secondary colours because of this.<br /><br />Another fundamental difference is that the complementary pairs are different, some to a greater degree. The complementary to red is cyan, not green as a traditional artist may be accustomed with.<br />Most digital painting software offer a CMY colour picking wheel.<br /><br />Regards.LoveStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184592861009654089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29994715245813612872008-11-28T14:01:00.000-05:002008-11-28T14:01:00.000-05:00Thanks, Meera, for visiting and linking.Thanks, Meera, for visiting and linking.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3783944568180200512008-11-26T14:30:00.000-05:002008-11-26T14:30:00.000-05:00Great posts -- I am adding your site under my list...Great posts -- I am adding your site under my list of blogs :).

Popped my eyes wide open with your comment about Sargent's two-color watercolors! <BR/><BR/>I got out my some of my Sargent books and you're absolutely right. Many in blue and earth tones as you suggest, also red and green (notably in some of the war paintings) and even yellow and green in some of the Venetian watercolors. <BR/><BR/>His masteful handling of them gives such and impression of a wide color range that, for all of my fascination with Sargent, I never noticed. <BR/><BR/>Amazing.

I have been studying and it deals with color as hue, value and chroma and how they relate.<BR/>It has changed the way I deal with and think about color.<BR/><BR/>There are no primaries or secondaries in the wheel at least the way it is organized(they are there only it's not set up that way), color moves in and out of chroma and value, very interesting and for me a lot more open as a system.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18084338997042934322008-01-02T09:34:00.000-05:002008-01-02T09:34:00.000-05:00*blushes/ faints* Thanks, James, it means a lot, c...*blushes/ faints* Thanks, James, it means a lot, coming from you.Maggie Stiefvaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842527558335640093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52396141919458869302008-01-02T07:55:00.000-05:002008-01-02T07:55:00.000-05:00I've just finished transcribing your observation a...I've just finished transcribing your observation about Sargent using primarily two colours into my Colour Notebook, so I'd say you are pitching this at a perfect level for me.

It has occurred to me to compile some of these posts into a book or a magazine column. Perhaps some day. But for now blogging is a fun way for me to test ideas informally. <BR/><BR/>A book would have to have a much more focused and logical presentation, and I kind of agree with Meredith that there's an appeal to the bite size bits. <BR/><BR/>A big part of the fun is hearing what you have to say, to learn how art is taught in Europe, and to hear not only from you who are professional artists, but also those of you who are beginning or who are courageously fitting art into the spaces of your busy lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-74992935084976486762007-12-30T15:41:00.000-05:002007-12-30T15:41:00.000-05:00I agree with chuck that a book is definitely neede...I agree with chuck that a book is definitely needed.
