Thank you for your explanations of neutral tint. I was beginning to think you had to belong to a secret society to fully understand the in, out, why and when. I am definitely subscribing.
Awww thank you so much @Ann Sowers, I'm so glad this was helpful to you and look forward to hearing more from you!! Let me know if you have any questions!😍
i love to see more videos about color mixing an d comparisons....I am always struggling how to choose my colors for a painting and when to use them. I think it is so difficult.
Iris, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful! I am currently working on a color comparison video that will be out soon! I will also do some video on how to choose your colors and when to use them, that is great to know and I would love to help! If you haven't already subscribe to see more videos!!😊
I would like to see more reviews and I enjoyed this comparison. I actually like all because the are appropriate for different paintings. Very well done. Thank you.
Hi Judy, thank you so much for your comment and request! I'm working on getting some more reviews!! Let me know if there are any specific colors or pai ts you would like to see!🥰
This was a wonderful, thorough comparison of neutrals! The Sennelier Payne's Grey seemed to produce crisper neutrals, and of course leaned blue or green, and the Neutral Tint produced softer or browner shadow colors (at least on my display). I have Daniel Smith Neutral Tint and only really use it for monochromatic studies--it tends to lean a bit violet, so I've never tried it for shadows. I like indigos and deep violets (like Moonglow) or perylene green for shadows, or use the Jane's grey mix of burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. This has inspired me to do some testing and mixing! Love your channel, looking forward to more paint explorations.
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun creating this video and learned a lot about the capabilities of neutral tint and payne's grey. I mostly used mine for Monochromatic paintings and would occasionally add it to other paints to darken the tone and create shadows. I have indigo and just recently got Janes grey, plus more greys and colors! I can't wait to test them out! Let me know how your testing and mixing goes!! I will add this neutral test on my website!
Thank you for this! I was struggling to decide between getting payne's grey, neutral tint and lunar black. This helped me to decide on getting the lunar for the granulation effects and just use a primary mix in place of the other two since I love the way it glazed the most.
Thank you for your comment, I'm glad this video was able to help you with which paint you needed! If you haven't already subscribe to my channel so you can see more paint reviews and tutorials!! Let me know if there is any paint or color in particular you would like to see me review!
Thank you...very good comparison and mixing instruction.
Willie cheng thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
I came to this video to try to get a handle on Neutral Tint. As someone hovering between beginner and the lower side of intermediate, I have been seeing and hearing about them. Your video gave me the added bonus of some instruction on Payne's Grey and User Mixes. And I love the monochrome demo sketches at the end. I think, for me, my favorite is the User Mix, because you can with a slight variation angle the color towards towards one of those in the mix; and I get the point about making sure you mix enough if you want it repeated over a large piece.
Thanks.
@Scott Kendall thank you so much, I'm happy to know this video was able to help you! I do you all three depending on what effect I'm looking to achieve. But if you can only afford one, it's good to see what your best option would be. And it will be different for each person, depending one subject, style and preferences! Hope you have a wonderful day!:
Thank you for answering my question and thank you for sharing, much appreciated..
You're so welcome Jenny Rae!😊
Great demo, thanks!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for showing what they can do and your paintings were beautiful.
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful for you and thank you so much. ❤️
Fantastic demonstration and explanation
Thank you so much brightonrosie I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this video. I have been struggling with mixing greys and neutrals as I am new to watercolor. I look forward to seeing more videos.
Thank you Sharrie, I'm so glad to hear that! I'm excited to share more with you! If you haven't already subscribe and click on the notification bell that way you will see when I upload new videos! Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to learn more about!
Loved your video and the song at the end. Thanks
Thank you so much ❤️
I was specifically interested in seeing how to mix my own neutral tint or Payne's grey as I don't like black in my paintings. You really did a great demo and I'm subscribing
Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear this video helped you!! Welcome! 💞
Excellent. Thanks. I preferred your neutral mix.
Thank you for your comment, that's my favorite too, there's just more life to it. I like how I can push it to either the warm or cool side as needed.
I think I like the neutral mixed from primaries loved the tutorial thankyou
Cecilee thank you so much! 🥰
Very informative and well explained
Thank you so much!
Such an amazing video !
Thank you so much!
Very nice monochromatic paintings as well
Thank you so much ❤️
Wow! A very valuable and insightful demonstration. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! Is there any other colors you would like to see comparisons too?
@@AlisaLaporteArt Thanks a lot for your reply. I really would like to see the comparison of the grays produced by various combinations such as ultramarine +Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue +Burnt Umber etc. After watching your demo and own experiments, gray is my current favorite!
I do have a video where I compare greys using ultramarine + Burnt sienna, Cobalt blue + Burnt umber. Its in my video titled Browns, I compare Daniel Smith and Sennelier browns and then mix them with blues to get beautiful greys, I hope you check it out and it helps with what you were looking for. I love grays as well! th-cam.com/video/0w0x7PawWNw/w-d-xo.html here is the link to the Browns video!
@@AlisaLaporteArt This is what I was looking for. Am really grateful to you for directing me to that extremely insightful video on the topic of my interest. Thank you!
Great video, thank you.
Thank you so much ❤️
Awesome demonstration! Now I know I really do need a Neutral Tint to my watercolor set, I love monochrome
I prefer payne's grey! Very helpful. Thx
Thank you for the demo. I've always loved paynes gray. The neutral tint I just got from Maimeriblu is more of a black shade & I've only used it on 2 sketch pages. I have mixed neutrals before, but I didn't name it, just called it a dark. This is my first visit to your site.
Thank you so much Charlotte, I will have to look at that Maimeriblu neutral tint you mentioned, I love mixing colors and neutrals it helps make paintings come alive! 😍I'm happy to have you here!
Excellent lesson. Easy to understand. Loved seeing the differences between the Payne's grey and the Neutral Tint, especially in the glazing. All these years, I've been mixing my own black and didn't know that if I just diluted it a lot, it would be the same as Neutral Tint. Well, I guess I don't have to buy that one!
I'm glad this video was helpful to you! What colors do you use to mix your black?
@@AlisaLaporteArt I use alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, and sap green.
Nice, I will have to try it!
Thank you for this, it was very helpful. I use DS’s Moonglow...
I'm happy that this video was able to help you! I had never heard of Moonglow, so I looked it up, I have a new color on my wish list now!😜😍 it looks beautiful!! Thank you so much!
@Deejay d Thank you :)
awesome ... thx for this helpful video and useful tips :)
in my neutral tint from "white nights" are red, blue and black pigments ...
and if I know this , I can mix it with any other colors.
the blues will be more on the cool bluish side, and reds more on the red side.
yellow will be greenish and orange will be more olive or brownish and so on...
I think neutral tint can be a very usefull color in any picture to get more contrast and deep in it.
the other day i created a wonderful spring-like picture with neutral tint and lemon yellow alone.
the combination of neutral tint with cadmium yellow medium looked rather autumnal because of the olive tones that result. what i want to try soon is that with neutral tint and umber you can create beautiful winter landscapes.
With the choice of your colour combination you can influence the mood of your entire work from the very beginning.
i'll keep experimenting and maybe discover some more surprisingly useful colour combinations with my little limited 12 watercolour artist palette and this makes a lot of fun :)
Sissy,
Thank you so much for sharing your discoveries and color combinations with us! I love hearing about them and learning more from you as well. With watercolors it's important to get to know what pigments are in our colors because like you mentioned it will influence the mood, tones, and colors it will create. knowing all of this will better help us in our painting. Color theory is quiet amazing. Keep painting and sharing your experiences! 😃
Amazing! Btw I was blown away from the painting of the child on the left.. such a beautiful work.. do u have a reference photo of him?
Thank you so very much!! I don't have it any more, it was one I found on Pixabay. They are a royalty free sight for pictures!
Choosing one painting material over the over is very much like choosing which color m&m tastes better. Each is good on its own and each satisfies a want/need. After that want/need is met, does it really make a difference? Not in my warped little brain.
Wonderful art and the information provided is quite useful.
Thank you very much for sharing this!
I agree, I love so many mediums and had a hard time narrowing down what my focus would be. But my watercolor teacher in college really made it come alive for me. I sometimes dabble in other mediums, and I miss doing oils, I might play with them again someday!💗 yhank you so much for your comment!
Thank you for this. I was wondering the difference between Payne's grey & neutral tint....
They are both great colors but would be used for different things, it's good to know depending on what you want to paint. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed!
Hi Alisa. I’m new to your channel, and new to watercolour. As such, I found this demonstration hugely useful - thank you!
I’m on a Facebook page for watercolour beginners and I’m going to share the link for this video there because I think many others will find it enlightening too.
I liked them all btw - each had their own qualities.
Hi Venta, thank you do much for Subscribing, sharing, and for your comment! 😍I'm so glad you found this video useful, let me know if there are any other colors or brands you would like to see me review and test!
P.s. they all have a fun and unique quality to them!!🥰
Venta, I was wondering what's the name of the Facebook page for Watercolor beginners is called. I would love to check it out and offer any help or advice where I can!! Thank you so much!
Alisa Laporte Art One is called Watercolour Techniques and Tips.
Wow idk..your work is amazing..hard to tell
🥰 Thank you so much Julie Diaz!!
Hi there! Thanks for the comparison, that was very helpful. Now I desperately need to know what is this song playing at the end of the video!
Hi LulluNatic, sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I've been looking through my files to fine the song at the end of this video. I FOUND IT!! It's called "The light in you" by Martin Hall. I got it from Epidemic Sound. I'm so glad you enjoy this video!
@@AlisaLaporteArt Thanks a lot for replying, even late! I will check it out asap. Take Care!
Altho I really enjoy learning how to mix colors I cant get the ratio right...I've git so much to learn about watercolor techniques....so I just buy different colors of gray....I need to really keep watching mixing videos.....someone has to keep inspiring the paint companies to evolve new colors...lol i guess I'm it...lol
Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error getting the right ratio. Keep practicing and it will come, try using more red and blue with just a small portion of yellow. I love trying out new colors too!
Thanks this is useful. I think it is important to give credit song "The light in you" from Pastis
I'm glad this video is useful for you! All my music comes from Epidemic sound, which I pay a monthly subscription for. This version of " The light in you" was a cover by Martin Hall
@@AlisaLaporteArt Cool this is a very good song. I really appreciated your tutorial as well :-)
What brushes do you use? Thanks!
I use a variety of brushes, Black silver velvet, Escoda, Isabey, Raphael, Windsor and Newton, and some less expensive liner brushes. I hope this helps I like trying out different brushes and have found I like certain brands for each style of brush. But I'm always open to playing with new ones!
😕 Excellent video idea and execution, but the super bright lights make the Cad Red look like it's light orange. Pretty much takes the purpose out of comparing color mixes when the lighting throws off the colors altogether. 😞
(I realize the side view shot is with a more "normal" lighting and color hue, but I can't clearly see, let alone compare, much of anything from a side glance. Just being honest.)
Thank you for your comment and honesty, I am sorry for the bad lighting that was in this picture, at the time I was using what set up I had and my desk was in front of a window that made things difficult for lighting. Thankfully I have since re positioned my desk and up dated my lighting and camera, so it shouldn't be washed out any more. I do have a high resolution picture of the comparison on my website, so you can see it more clearly. Let me know if you have any other questions, or tips you would like to learn about.
the hand mixed neutral. fresher looking.
Thank you Dixie!!
N.T. for me.
What do you like about the N.T?
I do not understand Neutral tint. A tint of a color is created by adding white to it. To creat a shade of any color you add black to. In each case you can contine to add black util you have true black. Or white until you have pure white. I do not understand Neutral Tint. A Neutral color is neither warm nor cool it is neutral.
