The more you practice the more you can eventually see the difference in value. When i'm painting as long as I get the value right I usually just get close enough in hue.
I think color matching is a skill that not a lot of people practice. My first introduction as a kid probably 40 years ago with my cheap Prang watercolor set. I would draw bigger scale color cartoons and color match. I look back at those and I was spot on. I think it is kinda intuitive getting the right shade.
I love how you will say it looks about right, then add a little more blue, a little more yellow, a little bit more, a little bit more! Lol! Charming, really!
5:15 "I need to control myself." This is the mantra of my life. I think, "If a little bit is good, even more will be better!" I'm usually very wrong. lol!
Sometimes you might be confusing light or dark with muddiness and contributes to how long this takes. The lighter shade didn’t seem close at all, maybe on the canvas but if you’re trying to match the leaf way off. But keep practicing
quality content (and reinforced by positive comments), but if you’re going to name your video “how to”, then explain your reasoning instead of just going “in this case I can see it needs more blue”.
True, but I think it comes down to the eye and practice. I actually thought the same thing at the start, but if you can’t see it, then maybe watching him will teach the eye?
@ I get your point and mostly agree that somethings in life you only learn by watching others and trying out yourself! I think my main issue is that even basic concepts like hue and value were treated as a given, while I argue that if a video is titled “how to” it should at least try to explain what is explainable.
I'm not so used to color my works (you can see by my profile picture I'm more of a monocromathic artist lol), but these videos of people reaching the correct color really help me to understand it better. Before drawing I used to watch and think it was nonsensical, but now I see the logic here and I try to apply to my works
Honestly, with your strong sense of value you get from monochromatic works you can learn color very easily. Just look up methods to identify the value of the color after you do that it will feel just like trying to get the right shaded value in graphite.
I wanted to show how easy we can change any color no matter how we start. all we need to do is to reach the same value first and then we can play with hues. thank you for your comment
Green isn’t really a “base” color. You must mix pigment to achieve green. He’s starting with primary color and that gives you more control over the final shade. You can just use a green that is close to the shade you want that is pre-mixed by the paint company but that’s not the point of this video. You can achieve a wide variety of shades of green with this palette instead of buying a wide variety of greens for example.
Stop with the blue! Your just going blue yellow blue yellow, dark lighten dark lighten, lol the shade is almost identical but the hue of the leaf shows green but the blue just darkens each time so it’s back and forth. The leaf you can see green in your mix it’s become muddy
I will say it's cool to see you work your way toward the goal. But what I would have liked would have been to hear you explain WHY you chose each color and the reasoning behind it.
I am not sure I agree with mixing for value first, the first green you got from blue and yellow was almost identical to the lighter side so you would only need to darken slightly. I think this technique makes the color muddy and not as vibrant
i feel that we probably need to train our eyes first with recognizing a different color shade from a color options. you know the online game of pick one different color shade from the rest of the color. see how much you guessed right from all the questions. this will let us know if one suited to this kind of matching color job.
Let's be honest. They didn't match at all. The first one looked like a muddy purple, and the second was noticeably different from the original. An olive green and a pantone frosty green.
@ It looks pretty healthy, I’m not judging for it, I’m just sharing that why I find leaves like this, I usually put them in water and they stay alive for quite a while, I’ve done it with accidentally mowed flowers as well! Nature is amazing. Love to your pup!!!!
Loved watching this! The trouble with starting witb secondary colors like green is that you lose control over the value very quickly. Premixed tubes often have an unmarked amount of white or darkening pigments mixed in. This makes the mixing process less predictable, and can turn your colors ashy/muddy! Of course you can use this to your advantage with experimentation, but the method in this video always be the most efficient and accurate. :)
I love how I can't really see the difference between these different mixings, it just seems perfect immediately

It is definitely a skill that is learned and honed over time.

I am always surprised how much a little bit can make a big difference!
verry, verry close…😂😂😂
@@durarbacriartstudio That is very true!
And becomes annoying at some point. 😂
@ oh, I didn’t see it that way at all.
It was perfect for me with the first blue and yellow 😅

Yes, you are right about the light and dark, thank you for pointing it out.

Thank you so much I will keep your comment in my mind and try to do better

I love watching it get closer and closer to the shade of green of the leaf as you mix!
The truth is that me too :-)
No offense, I would have started with a green base first and added colors to build on the right shade. But that's just my opinion ❤

@thekatalexander every word is exactly right. Thank you for sharing thus comment
He actually did start with green- a bit of yellow with blue is how green is created!
😂
This is the original way

And God made it in an instant!! 😊🤷 Art does make one think of the Creator, the Master Artist!!
You're obsessed with blue :
A little more red makes green darker and richer. adding too much brown looks muddy. Thank you for your content and advice . 🙏
Yes, it’s about finding the balance.
Not sure of the colour logic you use...
I will say it's cool to see you work your way toward the goal. But what I would have liked would have been to hear you explain WHY you chose each color and the reasoning behind it.
will take it in consideration, thank you so much

It’s all about what works best for you, thanks for sharing your opinion
Ĺots of hit and miss. Just like most people do.
Great video thank you for sharing your method
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff, I would have introduced more brown towards the end for the exact colour, but great man thank you for the upload..sound insight.
Thanks for watching!
To me, this is very inspiring. Thank you.
thank you for your uplifting comment, tomorrow a new video will be published

Thank you for your insight, I’ll keep that in mind.
Starting with the dark colors makes this a lot harder with more wasted paint. Start lightt

Thank you for your comment, will take it in consideration for next time
isnt this DrawMixPaint's method? If so you need the color wheel to help explain
draw mix ? did not understand. but you can watch previous videos to see the method I use
2:59
Relax people he's just making the video longerrrrrrrrrr...
👍

Looks like I need a big dose of OCD to follow this wonderful post. Thank you.
I know, the attention to detail is important but it gets much easier with practice
🌴
Don't suppose you have much time left to actually paint something, eh? Wish you well.
I am working on a large canvas right now, but this technique is what I use for everything. Thanks for watching!
🤨 no sir.
Poor leaf, could have picked anything not alive…like fake flowers.
I found it on the street while walking the dog, but thanks for your comment.
