Hi Andrew ... Wow! This was a great exercise ... I never thought that two different blacks could make such colorful greens ... Now I can use black instead of blue ... Inspired to start a color chart with the yellows I have and I'm going to try using Payne's grey also ...
Really really like this one! How fascinating. I have got to get a hang of this color mixing chart stuff. Somehow haven’t been able to grasp a good method for my understanding. Makes sense during the video. Then when I sit down…blank. So think I’ll do this w my watercolors and see what I come up with. Thanks for this video!!
Thank you. I usually mix with a brush when I’m painting. The palette knife is perfect for mixing exercises though as it’s easier to clean between mixes than a brush 👍🏻
Hello Andrew, thank you for this demonstration. I'm relatively new to painting and I don't think of making greens with black. From now on I will do it because it gives beautiful results. Good week.
Hi Andrew. Great segment regarding greens. I will make a similar chart. Very helpful. Please could you do a segment on using mediums to mix oils. I am just getting started with oils from acrylics and don’t know what to use for mixing paint to make more fluid to paint. I am hearing Galkyd but say it’s very toxic. Also difference between mineral turpentine and turpentine or white spirit. Which linseed oil or walnut oil. Should I use stand oil? This is really holding me back from starting out with oils. Please help if you can. No pressure.
Hi Yolanda I will do a video on that subject. That’s a great idea If I were you I’d just use the paint neat from the tube to start with. There is already linseed oil mixed in. I’ll try and do a video asap that might help 👍🏻
Thanks Andrew, really interesting seeing all those beautiful greens/greys "happen" ☺️ I have found Lamp Black and Art Spectrum Lemon Yellow useful to get the olivey greens which are found here in NZ. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw the stunning blue/greens in late Spring in England. Amazing! Our greens are great too though 😀 Thank you again and all the best 👍
Mix,mix, mix! I like the mixes with Aureolin and MH Lemon Yellow and Naples Yellow those could be great for Seascapes or Winterscapes or distant Haze. I've also found that Nickel Azo Yellow mixes beautiful Greens, the same with Transp. Yellow Oxide. But anyway...great Demo👍
So this is super interesting as (at least to me) quite a few of the mixes aren’t at all intuitive…like my 2 favorites with MH lemon yellow and especially WN Naples Yellow. All of these greens are considerably more sophisticated than the tube greens one tinkers with by adding oranges and purples. Yellow/black might be easier for me than yellow/blue because it seems easier to start dark and lighten as you go. Great video! I was hoping someday you’d do one on mixing greens. Your’s are always so lovely and interesting in your landscapes. Q: are we going to see more black on your palette for your landscapes? For Twitter folks, Andrew’s post today (14 Feb 23) has a great still of the chart you can study.
Surprised by the intensity of the Lamp Black - wondering whether your Naples Yellow was the Hue colour, or the genuine article: but whatever the answer to that might be, most impressed by your range of greens with nary a blue in sight.

Thank you Nancy - I think Paynes Grey and yellow will be beautiful together

It is amazing how infinite colour mixing can be

I will definitely use Lamp Black more now and I really liked the Chrome Lemon
Thank you. A good exercise!
You're welcome Judith

The lamp black really surprised me too. The Naples yellow was a hue version
What's your palette made of please...thanks for this video loved it
Thank you 🤩
It’s made of glass. It was an old mirror which had the reflective cover removed
Hi Andrew! Can you recommend comparable white and black acrylics for this exercise? I’d like to give it a go. Cheers!
Hi Amy
I would use whichever yellows and black you have in acrylic and see what you get
Very interesting - thanks 👍
Wondering how this works in watercolour -
Great exercise, some lovely mixes to try!
Definitely worth trying
Should work very well - without the white
Hello Andrew ☘️
Hi rosemary 😃
What are you mixing on please
I use a glass palette for mixing on - or sometimes a ceramic palette which is white. I like the smooth surface and it's easy to clean
Knocked me socks off
Thank you 😊
And there's a 'rule' out there to not use black but it does make some beautiful muted mixes
Don’t worry about that particular rule 😉
Look at that beautiful face on your 🎨
Thank you 😊
