    Brilliant! I feel like I have wasted years painting without this way of mixing. Thank you so much for posting this Marie Louise. ❤

    Awhile back I started a color mixing chart but was doing it in a very labor intensive way. This is so much easier and quicker AND so much more fun! Thank you!!!❤️

    You've successfully identified the problem with the palette I work with....Far too many colours used which all seem to clash! . Thankfully you've also identified the solution....Stick to 3 primaries+white+black. This will dramatically change the way I paint in the future. Can't believe such a limited palette can actually produce so many colours/tones etc . And these colours with be harmonious rather than to work against it. Thanks for this. Tremendously useful for me and others like me. 👍

    Yep, just the lesson I was looking for! I was always “guessing” as you said, and usually had 8 or more tubes of paint laid out. And the mud. Oh the mud!!! I would have been a great brick layer. Anyway, thanks for sharing this and I’m going to make up one of those reference note books. Cheers!

    What a wonderful demonstration of a helpful exercise. I love the idea of keeping a notebook of these color combinationsfer it. I'm curious if you have a favourite pallette of 3 colors that you tend to work with more than others?

  • @RavensandDandelions

    This is the most helpful art lesson I have had. I really have been haphazard with color mixing (beginner painter) and now I have a much better idea how to do it.

    • @arielmoore4233
      @arielmoore4233 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You could make your own charts with any other colors you like. The true benefit of this exercise is doing it yourself and to keep and have as reference for your paintings.

    You are so calm and logical. Ive tried your style and its all messed up. You I think know a lot more about realistic technique than I do. But what you do is wonderful and you make it look easy but without an idea of composition this can mess up.

  • @kathekokolias9569

    I learned a lot watching you mix the different colors and think I'll now be able to do it without getting lost! Thank you for a great demo!

  • @jeffmoodie6144
    @jeffmoodie6144 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I went with ultramarine blue, cad yellow primrose, pyrrole red and burnt umber instead of black. The umber and blue make a near black which can be quite neutral when white is added as well as making an interesting muted green when yellow is added instead of white to lighten it.
    I’ve tried other reds, blues and yellows and those three just work out well for me.

  • @janilledutton139
    @janilledutton139 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm inspired! Wonderful demonstration. What brand of paints did you use to mix these colors? I find brands vary. My local store doesn't carry Bordeaux...

  • @vickkiwalsh7776

    Love the colors you started with but what red would you substitute for the burgundy. Thank you for such an informative video.

    • @TheDanishPainter
      @TheDanishPainter  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe a reddish violet could work. But the beauty is that we mix the colors we already have and that way we'll discover new and exciting colors we never knew we could mix - I think you'll find that it's quite addictive and fun once you get going and mixing. Thanks for watching and happy painting :)
