I watched this lesson because I was not getting pretty colors, especially greens. I have a color wheel but am making some charts from your examples. This should be a must for every new painter. It has really helped me.
Great job! I finally came a cross a book many years ago that explained color bias in pigments. It's amazing how many books on color mixing never mention this very essential fact. One idea that might make your explanation easier to under stand is to point out that when 2 colors are mixed and one of both have complements in the mix the resulting color is muddier than may be intended. Ex.: Ultra Marine blue (red blue) & Cad. Red light. (orange red) That orange is the complement of blue and is what kills the color mixture right off.
Thank you for all your great videos!
Blue and Yellow don't make Green, Michael Wilcox?
I am going to swatch and mix my paints to figure out my palette. Thank you so much - this will help us all save money, as we get to know and make friends with ALL our paints!
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much for all the work that goes into making a video like this. We appreciate it and we know and see it. 🤟💜🎨
Wonderful class for beginners or to reinforce what you learned in the past!
Thank you so very much Cinnamon John & all the wonderful Moderators! Good weekend! 🥰🤗🖌
You too!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate all you do. And I am very grateful for classes like this. These really help.
i have been a member for a while just been absent , husband ill, i had time and wanted to get back into painting again, i love you guys so much you have taught me so much , thank you both ,
Such a great class! Lots of solid info to guide me, a total beginner, through color mixing. Thank you!
7:20 mentions the names of the 8 colors: Quinacridone magenta, cadmium red medium, cadmium yellow medium, lemon yellow aka hansa yellow, ultramarine blue, phthalo blue, white, and black.
31:21 Convenience colors: Dioxazine purple, burnt sienna, phthalo green, yellow ochre (great for skin tones)
Brilliant and fundamental lesson. Clear and concise explanation. Such a valuable lesson for a new painter. Thanks so much for all you do Cinnamon! ❤
So glad it was helpful. Thank you and my pleasure 💛
Thank You so much! I have just begun with pastel pencils and soft pastels! So I have no knowledge of Painting? Thanks for showing me what i am getting myself into! You explained it so well that I actually enjoyed learning it! Thank you!!!!!!!
Wow, you have opened up a new world for me. I was wondering why colours didn't mix like I was taught basics! Thank you
This is a great explanation. You are knowledgeable and great at instruction.
Great teaching 🙏🎨 Thank you very much.
Now I know why my water paintings never quite achieved the colours I was striving to get. Soo so well explained. Thankyou, now to remember & put it into practice.
This was great! Thank you so much
nice ,Easy Color Mixing for beginners in acrylic Paint
Awesome video. Learned something new. Adding white to see the bias more clearly, wow! That's so cool. Thank you so much Cinnamon and John. ❤️❤️❤️
I feel embarrassed because I had every yellow except lemon yellow and hanza yellow, so had to order and got Sennelier's lemon yellow Hansa , plus I had yellow oxide instead of yellow ochre, so I also ordered that in Sennelier...( your Amazon page was out of them so I got them at Jerry's!) So when they come in I will paint over the wrong colors in yellow! Even so, I don't think I have ever had a class so well informative...especially on the bias of yellow and green! You taught me things I never even thought about before but now I know and will follow my color wheel to the max. I also did the class on tints, tones and shades which was equally as important as this one! Color is so important to me and I am determined to do this! A million thank you's Cinnamon because you care!
Thank you for this video!!! I have been searching for this exact explanation!!!
Great video saved it as I need to learn the basics again
This was very helpful as I have had a lot of difficulty in mixing colors. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent lesson! Thank you!!❤❤
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. awesome so helpful 💓
Thank you for taking the shark out of the water that I was swimming in, in coloring I was eaten alive by the sharks that were in the mix, it was a great😢 relief to get this understanding, and guarantee you that I'll reach the shore all in one piece. thank you again.
Great video, thank you
This is a truly awesome educational video, just absolutely wonderful information, thank you Cinnamon.👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇸🇧🇸🏝
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well what learned in school definitely is a lot different than why we learn as artist. In school they didn’t think about the artist tubes of paint in school all those primary colors are basically had something to do with the color spectrum of the rainbow not tubes of paint lol
Great class. I'm gonna have to re-listen several times to get it all. Thank you so much. Also...I GOT SOME TYPE OF WEIRD OIL LIKE STUFF OUT OF A PAINT TUBE WHEN i WENT TO PUT IT ON MY PALLATTE (Sennelier Acrylique Phthalo Green) WHAT IS THIS?
Sounds like your paint separated. You can try mixing it within the tube by squeezing it around or write to Sennelier for a new tube if it won't remix 💜
LOVED this video. You mentioned there would be a mini book created. Can you post the link to it.
There is not a completed one yet. We are still working on it. 💕
I cant wait to do this.
Yay!
Thanks!
You bet! Thank you for your support it means the world and does help us a lot
Finally catching up to this one here. I try to do one of these a week but it ends up being more like one a month so I am missing a lot of them. I do what I can!
There is no pressure to keep up with the videos they will aways be there for you when you are ready
Wow, thats why I’m struggling , thank you Both
IS THERE A COLOR THEORY BOOK AND POSTER YOU COULD RECOMMEND FOR US? Thank you so much for this video!
P.S. I enjoy when you get academic with us😁
My science class went over the primary colors of light and ink after I had taken years of art class. I tried to explain how different they were from paint primaries and my teacher just dismissed. It’s always bugged me, thank you for explaining, this is super helpful.
When I go to the Amazon list, the materials you suggest aren’t there. I was having a bit of trouble navigating what to buy from your store with all the suggestions.
U got it
I am having a difficult problem in finding cadmium red medium. Sennielier has cadmium red, golden has it, Sennelier abstract doesn’t have it, liquitex heavy body has it. What type do you use for this cad red medium
Pretty much all brands carry a cad red medium. So find one that is within your budget. Sennelier makes a cad red medium in the pro line, as does Golden and most other branding. 🧡
Thank you for sharing this video. I am a new artist (acrylic painting). I've been painting in pastel for 4 years and thought I'd try something different but I was running into trouble -- now I see WHY. Thank you SO much for helping me to understand colors and mixing. I love to paint red rock scenery (like Sedona) and I would love to know how to get the many different kinds of reds and oranges you see in the southwest. Like a purple-kind of orange, a bronzey-kind of orange, etc. (sorry for the spelling, had to guess on that one - lol). Question: Your Cad Red color that you use -- is that a cad red medium? Also, can you recommend a good brand of extender for acrylic paint? I live in Southern California and my acrylic paint dries up SO fast! It is crazy. Thank you.
I JUST FOUND YOU GUYS. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! QUICK QUESTION I DON'T HAVE A PAINT CALLED MAGENTA. IS QUIN ROSE A GOOD ENOUGH ALTERNATIVE OR WOULD YOU SUGGEST BUYING A QUIN MAGENTA?
I actually love Quin rose and you will still get good mixes of purple and pink peach with it !!
@@TheArtSherpa Thank you very much!
Is there a video that shows how to make the color chart?
Good to know for jewelry making as well! When you think your beads are the same color but then they don't match😣😂
CAN YOU PROVIDE THE SIZE BRUSHES YOU USE MOST THAT CORRESPOND TO THE BRANDS YOU LISTED SND THE TYPE OF BRUSH.
The brushes I use the most are listed below the video in the despcription. 💖
What brand paint do you recommend? Or you use
I use mostly Golden and Senneiier, but use whatever your budget allows 💛
CAN YOU USE BURNT SIENA TO DARKEN RED?
Yes, or diox purple, and black as well 💚
WHAT BRAND PAINT DO YOU USE ?
I moslty use Golden and Sennelier, but use whatever your budget allows 🤍
Is there a link to the colour mixing GRID VIDEO? Please and thank you. I’m having trouble finding it. @Moderator @theartsherpa
if you ever get tired of the art gig, I was wondering if you've considered rapping, Or becoming an auction caller ? I had to slow that video down 75% to make sure I didn't miss anything! Real golden nuggets in that one! Thanks a bunch!!!
Witch paper do you use? 🖐🏾😁
9x12 pad by Fabriano its the 1264 multimedia line and its good in my opinion
OK, you did this a year ago. I’ve already watched it twice. I am brand new. Well I painted with my mother when I was 10. I’m now 68. I was writing like a lunatic. I have gone to your store and put a lot of things in my cart, but now I’m not sure what it is in my cart is what I should be buying at this point, help me please
I just made this video to help with questions just like this. Let me know if this is helpful th-cam.com/video/LZSjjf04Uwc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ssQPQKpWIZnv_kpm
Not only did I watch it. I watched it twice lol and filled my cart on your store with things I might want and I took notes. Also picking the gold I believe it’s open Paints.
My paint was drying so fast it looked nothing like yours
I see there is a phone number you can call. Should I call and figure out what I should get I find this also confusing.
This video is a real eye opener for me. My frustration has always been color mixing. I painted along with you & saw for myself what I’ve been missing. This video is so valuable. Bless you both for your hard work! You are simply the BEST!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ok is a good trade yup for me I think I can give u the best place to

I concur with you, I never knew about these color mixes according to shade!
Thiiiisss lady knows so much!!!!! I’m blown away. Wow.
Thank you senpai..
Extremely helpful, thank you! When I first started, I remember tossing a fit trying to mix a purple. I simply couldn't understand it! Now I do, but your demonstration clarified things much better for me. 👏👏
A very valuable lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this saves beginners like us so much time and money:)
Excuse me Mrs. Paint Sherpa…? But I was just wondering where could I get the same colour paint wheel that you are using in this video? Cause I definitely want one!
I could never understand why people had problems of seeing the underlining colours until I found out I have an extra cone in my eyes, apparently 2% of the population has this and it’s why I can see it.
Thank you! I am not a visual artist, and knew paints and light worked completely differently, and you explained it so well. Don't apologize for being academic! Information is wonderful!! Thanks!!!
QUESTION: Golden sells in tubes, and in little bottles what's the difference??? Which one do I need to work on your projects? Michaels also sells Winsor & Newton what are your thoughts on that brand
Don’t apologize for being academic! 1) you can’t break the rules if you don’t know them and 2) I crave the theory and the WHY of painting. It makes it sooo much easier for me
I’m so glad you like this deeper dive into it. I love color it’s a lot of fun.
this is just fantastic information. thank you cinnamon, you are such a great fount of knowledge. you amaze me. I use sennelier abstract paint and I've been looking for phthalo green and lemon yellow hansa in these brands. do they actually make thes colours or do they call them something else? I always try to see if I can see the pigment number but I'm never sure if it's the right ones for those colours. hope you can help me. thank you again for being such a great tutor ♥️
YES the color you want with them is Cadmium Yellow Lemon Hue , and they have Phthalo Green too. My art store will be open by Mid week and we have both colors in stock store.theartsherpa.com/
I'm struggling with the liquitex. Too transparent. Was an oil painter. Have a cart ready from your store. Is golden 12 set wrong for my struggle
Now for sure I will get Winsor Ultramarine green shade and Winsor blue, I guess it is red shade. The set comes with Winsor yellow, I think that is warm So, I need a cool yellow? I think Winsor green is yellow shade so how do I check the bias?
Thank you for this. I think Liquitex has both an ultramarine blue with red shade and an ultramarine with green shade.
Fantastic video, so clear & helpful! Now it’s all making sense. Thank you so much! Will have to check out your other videos on colors, skin tones, etc.
Awesome information thank you
Wow! This is SUPER helpful. I have it saved so I can go back and rewatch and take some notes. Suddenly a light bulb is going on for me. Thank you.
Thank YOU and you are welcome 🤍
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m learning sooo much!!!
For example, Holbein sells the following "PRIMARY" colors in their Fluid Line :
Primary Magenta, Primary Cyan, Primary Yellow, Primary White, Primary Black
How would these compare to the colors mentioned in this video and why/when would you use these?
Those are some of the best primaries. You can do alot with them holbein is amazing. With those you could add warm red, Warm yellow and a red bias blue to create a split primary palette. But they are strong on their own too.
AND WHAT PAINTS DO I CRAFTSMART ACYLIC PAINT
I am not sure what you are asking, please clarify a bit. 💖
CAN PAINT WITH THE CRAFTSMART PAITING OR DO I HAV TO GO AND GET THE GOLDEN PAINT AND THTOW THE OTHER PAINT AWAY
WHAT KIND OF GOLDEN GLOSS MEDIUM MEDIUM BRILLANTE I DON"T KNOW IF THE IS THE WHITE GLOSS PLEASE GET BACK TO ME SO I CAN TAKE IT BACK AND GET THE RIGHT ONE
oh my goodness.. This changed my whole world!
I love the mint green phalo green and white make.
PS congratulations on your move ❤
This is the best, most comprehensive video I have ever watched on why the colours get so dull sometimes. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is AMAZING!
Thank you for this video, it's totally gonna help me. Ironically before you mentioned Golden seperating the warm from cool comors, I was going to make my pages in my book (I got the same one you do) & then organize my paint draw as I have many brands and shades of color. I paint pour as well.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my goodness I am so happy that I found this video, I am a fairly new to painting and mixing😊I have so many bottles of paint it’s not even funny, then they dry out, so I am in the middle of switching to tube paints, thanks so much for the explanations you gave❤
Glad it was helpful!
How about cad orange, cobalt blue, pyrrole red, viridian/pthalo green blue shade, and ultramarine violet blue shade and perhaps the red shade.
Those are great colors, and I believe phathlo green is listed in my colors, but they are extra nice to have colors. 🌹
bruh no one ever explained this phenomenon. they just said to use split primary for palettes. Thank you my mind is blown #selftaughtandstilllearninglots
I am so glad you found it helpful. Artists like to keep their secrets don't they, LOL 💛
What a great lesson. Thank you for this detailed and specific explanations.
You're very welcome!
🇨🇦😃
Thank you so very much for this great information
You are so very welcome 💗
this video/class was the BEST video I have seen on choosing a small pallette and why. I didn't understand the bias to blue or green. Thank you!! I subbed and can't wait to check out your other videos too. Love from British Columbia Canada :)
I wish I would have known this when I was still working. I spent a lot of money and time because of my ignorance. However, in my defense, in all of the art related continuing education I was involved in, THIS never came up. Color wheels - yes, but never THIS. ARG!!!! Going forward as a beginning canvas painter, now I know :
About phthalo blue. It's not actually correct to call it leaning towards green per se. It depends on the pigment used. There's phthalo blue green shade (PB 15:3) and there's phthalo blue red shade (PB15:6). So always check the pigments used in your paints.
This is extremely helpful! I'm wanting to start with Liquitex basic acrylics. I can't find all the exact colors you recommend and I'm a little bit confused. Which colors would you recommend from liquitex basics?
Ok, I have to ask. Are you referencing a color called Tight Knit Yellow when it comes to the color you couldn't offer? I've tried listening, and put closed captioning on... and thats what it comes up with. Thanks! Great video!!
Nickel titanate yellow
@@TheArtSherpa Awesome! Thank you!
i can't afford expensive paints and i have trouble getting the brightness, out of them , what do you suggest? like before when i tried to pain along, it was acrylic april i was doing the lady bug and i could not get the bright red, out of my paint, and i was using liquitex basics acrylic, and cad red or there version,
What about making neon colors
EPIC question. You can create a Neon Hue .....almost but when its next to neon pigments you 100% will be able to tell. True neon colors, known for their intensely vibrant and luminous quality, are challenging to mix from regular paint pigments. HAAARRRDDD.
This is due to the unique properties of neon colors:
Luminosity: Neon colors have a luminous quality that is not typically found in standard paint pigments. This luminescence is often due to fluorescent dyes or pigments that absorb and then re-emit light. Fluorescent Properties are odd to the eye: Many neon colors are fluorescent, meaning they absorb and emit light in a way that regular pigments do not. This is what gives neon colors their distinctive, bright look. you see it when you see it. That said Neons are not lightfast so we artists have to have light fast work arounds. Tips:
The key to achieving a neon-like effect is to use the brightest, most vivid pigments available.
If you're working with acrylics, you might find more vibrant options available, as acrylic pigments can often be more intense than those in oil paints.
The final appearance will depend on the types of pigment used and the lighting conditions under which the color is viewed.
Remember, while you can get close to a neon hue, regular pigments might not replicate the full luminosity and intensity of true neon colors. I like lemon Yellow Hansa , phthalo green and Zinc White to get a VERY vibrant neon green.
Can Red light , true quin magenta , and zinc white for neon pink like color
While you can mix regular pigments to get close to some neon-like hues, achieving the true fluorescent quality of neon colors requires specific neon or fluorescent pigments. These specialized pigments are often available in acrylics, inks, and other mediums. If you're looking to create artwork with neon effects, it's best to purchase paints that are specifically labeled as neon or fluorescent. This is long but that was a fun question
Wow, now I have understanding of color hidden agenda..lol wow thank you so much fir this, this change my painting world completely
Great video demo - but I use simply red, blue and yellow.for my own taste considering that everyone views colors differently.
Thanks a lot for your videos it’s really helps me to understand about mixing colors. My God blesses you and your family
Where can I purchase wheel. Thank you
Any craft store or online stores like Amazon, Jerrys, Blicks, etc will have good color wheels 🤎
What kind of paint pad are you using?
1262 Fabriano 9x12 multimedia pad. All our materials are listed below the video in the description for future reference 💚💚💚
You're awesome! Thank you for the information you provide to the world.
Thank you soooo much…. This really really helps ❤❤❤God bless you both 🙏🏻
You know.. I have taken art classes and things... but I NEVER remember learning that about COLOR.. I remember learning ABOUT color in grade school. RED YELLOW BLUE .. make all the colors.. with light.. but when you go into art class.. that gets funky. Of course when you are a little kid painting with Tempra paints in your little classwroom you may not care that the GREEN or ORANGE isn't PERFECT.. right? and then later, I am like .. what is this with CYAN and MAGENTA? I remember discovering that on my Inkjet printers... and I am like huh?? Again. Thanks for pointing out that PIGMENT mixing is not that easy as just mixing pure color... sigh. I am sitting here going " Guess I will need this color and this color and this color" cause I don't know HOW to make all those colors..... LOL.
Thank you so much for these kind words it means a lot and so gad this video added some new color info that is useful. Big art hugs
