it is great, thanks, but i still find it hard to understand
TONES, and its difference between saturation... Especially neutral
tones... Is it a saturation of one specific warm or cool tone?
or is it a whole big group of saturation of neutral tones?
And in the next tutorial you mention that you have to
choose the group of colours when painting,
but they still have tones-warm and cool, so you still
may use the colour that is not in your chosen group?

Saturation is not specific to warm or cool, in fact it can be any colour. Saturation is simply how "intense" the colour is, or its purest form.

What I mean when you should choose a group of colours when painting, I simple mean to pick a colour scheme and stick to it - of course you can break any of these "rules" because they aren't actually a rule. It's just a guideline.

ohhh just how intense, so it applies to black and white too?
i love your tutorial, i like that they are some guidelines, something like a "rule" that you can follow and that can help you to paint something "correct".

Well black and white aren't technically colours, they are shades. Black is the absence of all light and therefore had no colour, while white is the absorption of all light and all colours.

But yeah, its colour theory.
