Color Space was created by Robert Gamblin because of the Smithsonian Institution commissioning him to recreate one hundred and fifty oil paint colors from the 17th and 18th century. His job is to sort out and make color mixing easier. Thus, we have Color Space, a quick way to identify and mix colors. Robert defines Color Space by three different attributes such as hue, value, and intensity. The intense colors are located on the outer edges, the center more neutral, and value moves up and down the diagram. He has nintey seven colors in color space and the colors to be made from these are limitless. Value was major in the renissance era because of the limited colors available to the artists. Hue is linked more towards impressionists in the 19th century and Intensity was founded by modern masters in the 20th century. These three dimensions create structure for Color Space. In this video Robert explains to viewers how to make a traditional color wheel for your personal pallet. His placement of the colors helps artists maintain temperature relations and the "mother hue". I believe his structure can be very helpful to artists of all expierience levels in an at home setting. The overwelming prosess of making colors, remaking colors, and finding colors to fit your style of work is deminished with this easy to use system. I would recomend this product to anyone with out formal training. This video was so exciting and helpful I almost want to become an
