Would have liked a better explanation of this course in the description. Expensive course for information that is free in multiple other places. Also expected some practical application to painting. I bought the course because of the puzzle pieces in the box analogy. I assumed it would bring together those pieces to be able to apply color theory to painting. this is just another of those puzzle pieces useless without understanding its application to painting. Perhaps that is coming in the other courses but would not recommend this course to anyone since the info is all available for free elsewhere.

Needs much more explanation of why this information is important to an artist and how it can be used by artists

Weird sound in background that made it hard to listen to. Love the content.

yes, very good topic. It will be wonderful and more useful if the class can use more real stuff, ex: apple, flowers, leaves ......to explain the hue, chroma and volume and what combination to make that color . Thanks

Really fresh new to me!!!! I learned way more than 3 hours class in in college. But it better to explain the munsell color chart more, such as why the more saturated the color gets, the less range the bright and dark it has. And also, why the more bright or dark it goes, the less range of the saturation the colors gets. Also, need to explain why munsell color chart made the saturation vertically and brightness horizontally. It took me some hours to figure out the reason, and the processes ain't so fun for me at least. Other than that, this lesson is pretty clear for me, but still will give you the rating of not clear, so that you could do better. I really like your artworks, the color there is masterpiece, top rated !!!
