Maybe one good thing to add is that the color of your palet matters. If your sponge isn't white or isn't clean, than the more you spread out your paint, the more transparant it gets and you may get tricked by non white color underneath.
Thank you so much for doing this! You explain so good and you really motivated me to buy your base and the danicci kolor set. I’ve fallen in love with mixing colors - because you can make every color you want 🙌🏼🌞🐝💨💨have a wonderful week all & maestro Agostini 🙇🏽♂️
Have seen similar video's from traditional painters before, but love this adaptation using Kimera paints. Color matching is a great skill to have, especially if your favorite color is OOP.
Molto istruttivo, Another way, more structured, to approach the empiric method we all use. I like the idea to move on the palette miming the way we do that on digital photo retouch, controlling hue, saturation, and basically the mix of primary and complementary colors. Thank you
Camo green, like the other olive-drab colors, is actually not a green, but a dark yellow; you can see this in a computer paint program by starting with a pure yellow and turning down the luminance; the color will turn drab and approach an olive color, from which it can be tinted to shift the color. The interior protective color "zinc chromate green" is actually a bright yellow with a slight tinge of green to which carbon black has been added to make the coating more durable; this shifts the color to a variety of green-to-olive shades depending on the amount of carbon black added by the manufacturer. It's kind of counterintuitive that you make an "OD green" color without any green in it at all, but that's how your eye works.
Thanks. Usually the difference is not too big, but sometimes it can be significant (especially for oxide pigments). In those cases i do the mix, test it, and after it dries i try to understand how to fix it on the palette. I'll keep two or three similar mixes in those cases. In general the most common result is that the mix is less saturated than intended, in those cases it just needs a little boost of one of the primaries.
@@kimeramodels Thanks, appreciate the response. Also another small question: I own both base and expansion set of kimera but am really struggling with some of the transparent colours such as ultramarine blue. Obviously adding white will increase opacity but will also result in lost saturation, how do you use these paints?
Hi! Great tutorial! I wonder how do you cope with matching wet paint to a dry color? Most paints shift a little bit when dry (they mostly become darker and less saturated) - do you have any tips how to predict that or how to mix paint so that it dryes into correct color?
Hello, since white is used continuously, is there any alternative to Kimera white? (it is easier to get replacements for Golden, Liquitex, Amsterdam...) and in that case should it be Heavy Body or Fluid or...?
Maybe the golden matte white (so flat?), but I never tried it. The rest are glossy and more transparent so not really. Unless of course you want transparent and glossy, at that point you might find many
Yes it was a bad habit I had from before, I'm sorry for that. Out of camera the colors were identical so i didn't notice. On camera is more evident clearly. It's a clear improvement point i will put into practice for when i'll redo this video in the future. Thank you for your feedback.
By the end of this video, I was able to say "Needs more Red" etc and sure enough I was correct! Great coaching, thankyou!
That’s super great!

This is actually a very good point. I should do a video in the future on basic stuff like hobby materials, lights and so on. It might be useful.
this is legitimately magic...
This is probably one of your most important tutorials! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you so much! I hope it helps!
Great tutorial. Just what I needed to have a better understanding of the basics. Thanks very much!

This is great to know as someone knew to colour mixing
Thank You for this "about thinking" tutorial. It is very useful.
This is super helpful! I use this knowledge in up coming projects.
Hi Ricardo, amazing video; we need more like this please, regards from Barcelona
Excellent video. Thank you
Thanks for this lesson, very helpful

Really useful tutorial!
Spiegati molto bene ,ottimi video ancora complimenti
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I have a project im trying to work on and this really helped a lot thank you.
You're very welcome!

Cool, i'm glad you liked it!
I’m a automotive painter and this will definitely help me. Thank you!
So so good. Amazing 👍🏻
This video definitely helped me while I was working on "Hermes"

True yes. Black acts as a blue too, since it’s often an ivory black with a bias towards the blue.
Yet another genius cultivating his own competition
Thank you so much for creating this!!!
Super interesting video and learn a lot!! Thank agains guys
Jack Daniel’s sweater. Classy
Riccardo, thank you so much!!!
Thank you, good knowledge's
Great video! How do you handle colour matching to dry paint, i.e. the difference in tone between a wet and a dry paint?
Thanks. Usually the difference is not too big, but sometimes it can be significant (especially for oxide pigments). In those cases i do the mix, test it, and after it dries i try to understand how to fix it on the palette. I'll keep two or three similar mixes in those cases.

@@1NGDK Mainly as glazes to alter the color of something else. Did you watch the video about frosting? There's a bit about this in that one

You mix the color, try it in a not too visible spot, see if it's right when it dries and then change it a bit after. I usually do this
Thanks. Very useful

Per chi non riesce a fare tutto in una sessione color matching è vitale...e molto difficile!!!non riesco a replicare le mie stesse mecole....
I'll just mix both piles of paint together and bingo! The same.

@@kimeramodels Actually colors were very close and didn't really detract from the lesson :-) It just made me laugh :-)
