- Using a limited palette has some great benefits: learning to mix colors is easier, it's easier to remember how you got to certain colors and it saves you some money.
Here are the colors I used in this video. Please keep in mind: this is only a suggestion to help you get started. There are no rules and everyone has his own preferences. With color mixing there are many ways to get the same results. Always feel free to experiment.
__________________________________________
Black and white only: a great way to start painting is practicing with only black (ivory or oxide for example) and titanium white!
__________________________________________
Primary colors: primary yellow, magenta and cyan + black (ivory or oxide for example) and titanium white.

I've been working with acrylic and also with limited palettes for quite some time, but you're video brought me back to the basics once again. Thanks for that, every beginning painter should watch this video first!
That's great, enjoy painting!👍🎨
Love this. I've been working with the primary palette and am both frustrated and bored with the outcomes. I appreciate you sharing the alternative.
So helpful thank you so much
You're welcome!
I choose a different palette for each painting. I am now checking what pigments are in the paints, after buying a "cyan" & it was just phtalo blue plus white. The pthalo blue is more useful than the "cyan" as can get darks without black.
A very nice intro ... better than most. Thank you.
Another very helpful video I am planning on buying a basic liquitex set of cyan, magenta, primary yellow, black and white to really learn colour mixing but when I get more practiced I will simply add ultramarine and burnt umber ! All set 👍
That's a great strategy, have fun painting!👍
excellent video, great work!
Thanks!👍🎨
Ok, I get it. After years of painting I will use Gesso to prepare my surfaces. I will use plenty of paint so my brush can be fully loaded and also, my palette won't dry out as quickly when it has more paint on it's surface. I see you use the larger jars of paint and these jars don't look like anything I've seen. Where do I find these larger jars to purchase? There is a company here in the USA called NOVA paints. Are yours Nova's? Thank you.
Most brands offer different sized tubes or jars. I'm from the Netherlands (Europe) and I use some brands that are well known here, like Amsterdam Expert from Talens and ARA-acrylics. For the videos I often use student quality paint as well by the way, like Amsterdam Standard. Other great brands that you might be familiar as well are Winsor & Newton (Galeria is their student quality line and their artist's quality line is called Professional) and Golden.
I had never heard of NOVA before, but I looked it up and I think it's great paint! It looks like they have bigger jars and then you can scoop out some paint with a palette knife.
@@toon-nagtegaal Thank you. I hope your audience grows immensely.
@@Allie-ck2lj Thanks!😂👍
Thank you for that video, it is so well explained! I was actually thinking of trying acrylic paint, so it is perfect timing. I heard the Amsterdam Expert paint dry slower than the Standard one, i wonder if that would be more suitable for a beginner.
As far is I know they dry equally fast. There may be a slight difference, but I've never noticed it.
The main difference is that Expert contains more and better ground pigments. Therefore it's easier to mix very precisely.
Also, in the Expert Series you'll encounter some pigments that aren't available in the Sandard Series, because they're to expensive to put in the study quality paint.
So if you're already an advanced painter with other paints, Expert may be a good choice. If you're an absolute beginner, Standard is great because it's more affordable (when beginners start painting with artists' quality paint, they often hold back and don't want to use enough paint, because of the pricetags).
The fast drying time is something you'll get used to with some practice. Have fun painting!👍
@@toon-nagtegaal Thank you so much! And you are absolutely right, I should start with a student grade since I’m a beginner. Plus, I don’t even know if I will like acrylic paint at all.
Nice introduction 😁
😂😂👍
