6:42 I really like this idea of using darker transparent colours to mix with lighter colours so that darker shades retain some vibrancy. I am going to have to play with this. Thanks so much!

Great tip. I think your matching of colors is easier to see when you put some paint on a piece of paper and hold it next to what you are trying to match,

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Yes, I agree.

[@zuphirael4513]

[4:36] "And I'm not quite sure what's available in acrylic." In my experience, for the most part, any tube color that is available in oils is also available in acrylic though not necessarily every manufacturer carries them all, and few do like to use creative names so be sure to check those pigment numbers.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Thanks for adding that.

[@chayita7]

Dianne, you are as good as your word! This was my quick tip request which you had agreed to address. Thank you so much for it. I'm sure these guidelines will be helpful to additional viewers, as well. On a different note: I am still unable to discern the desaturated blue in the tree bark of the latest chat. Could this be caused by the particular set-up of a computer monitor? (Experimenting with software didn't help.) Or does this sometimes happen as a result of different visual perceptions on the part of different viewers? Thank you once again for your elucidating quick tip. Be well, Carol.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Carol, monitors vary so much that my guess is yes, the monitor is the problem. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about that beyond adjust our own monitors, and even that doesn't always render a true picture.

Thank you for this valuable information. I will try this with orange. Every time I try to make orange more opaque, it changes the color too dramatically. It goes to peach or mud.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

[@europeanroyalty4778]

There's a British artist I just discovered on TH-cam who makes a good argument that compliment colour mixing doesn't always work.He doesn't use that method. He demonstrated that using compliments in the lighter values strips the saturation.He chooses instead to use colours like raw and burnt umber,transparent oxide red ect.They appear to work very well.He paints a lot of floral pictures so maintaining saturation in the lighter values is very important.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Oddly, when we are using colors like raw and burnt umber, we are using desaturated versions of the hues, so optically, they work the same way. The best practice is to experiment with controlling value, hue and saturation and find out for yourself.

[@cynthiamarston2208]

I have pretty good mixing for color skill but I never mix enough of it. Bad habit.. dibby dab it and then I need to keep mixing on the spot again and again. I think it has to do with conservation of supplies because I really don’t like waste. I suppose it’s ok but wastes time?

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

Just think about it like this: waste the artist or waste the material.

[@jondoh587]

I paint with acrylic, not oil, and have had to learn to mix in bigger batches in one go. The reason is that a bigger pile of paint on my palette dries more slowly than a smaller and thinner one. (A surface area thing, I think.) So those little dabs actually were wasting more paint.
And, of course, any excess can be saved for another day. I have some thimble-sized plastic containers that seal tightly. With a little slow-dry medium stirred in, they've kept for months. Good luck!

[@Eterwest]

the subtitles are only in English. Please activate the subtitles in the other languages ​​as well

[@jamesfuller8022]

Other languages are available. You need to click on English auto generated and then auto translate for the list of languages. I just watched in Spanish CC.

[@IntheStudioArtInstruction]

You are able to do that yourself on TH-cam. When you’re watching a TH-cam video, look for the CC (Closed Captions) icon. It’s usually located in the lower-right corner of the video player.
Click the CC icon to turn on subtitles. A red line will appear under the icon when closed captions are enabled.
