I’ve had this idea on my list to do for months since I saw the artist do it perfectly on tik tok 🤣 but I kept putting it off because I didn’t think it would be feasible to do too well. You did great!!!
@@Marnige actually, in sarah’s video she did do 3d objects, and jazza used 2d paper as well. they both did a mix of both, and i think it’s fair to say that sarah did better.
I would like to say Thank You for being a very normal, funny, enthusiastic artist, who makes learning inspirational & achievable. I have spent the last few weeks binging on your wonderful videos and smiling at your antics. I’ve sharpened my pencils, downloaded your colouring pages and watched the colour theory and b,ending videos multiple times. I started to learn to draw during quarantine, and then work took over again but I am starting to use colouring to deal with stressful days, and that is down to you!
Yahoo and happy day! Thanks for putting out a blast of fun video! You did great with this, and lookin forward to the painty stuff. Be well alls, and chipper cheerios! 😄
So fun!! I've just started learning about Color mixing and keeping limited palette, which has allowed me to purchase professional grade watercolor paints for the first time in my entire life this week! Color mixing is a skill and it's helping me to better understand color theory in more depth. Thank you so much for continuing to try new things on your channel! It's truly inspiring to the older (30+)new artists like myself!
When I went to art school we actually used the printer colors, Cyan Magenta Yellow White and Black. In acryllics though. I love acryllics, but wish we had learned oils, or at least dabbled with both.
Painters refuse to accept that CMY are the true primaries... Red, yellow and blue make for a more muted and natural palette which is often preferred. The painters that do want to mix very bright, clean colors often use a "split primaries" palette, where they have a warm and cool version of red, yellow and blue. Obviously, this ends up including magenta and cyan... Proving once again that CMY is way more versatile..
Now I'm not a professional color person/artist but I do think that a 'pack' of oil colors is often sold to "new" artists in stores and the "experienced" oil-painting artist will often buy both specific brands, and colors or even mix their own colors. I say this because I work in a arts and crafts shop, and we do have oil paints, both sets and singles, but we only have the most "popular" colors in the store as most professional artists will buy from one of the other stores that is exclusively selling art materials, and therefore we just sell the colors that are most likely to be sold to the "average" oil painter :) And no i have not once had a professional oil-painter buy our paints, but they do come to buy cleaning stuff and all that other stuff :)
I wouldn't personally say that painters refuse to accept it :o split primaries is a thing for a reason and it's the standard for basically all experienced painters, of course CMY could already work fine but split primaries gives a lot more mixing options in some areas, though generally speaking you want more colours than that even~
I've played with this a ton with watercolor and you can get anything with single pigment CMY triad, even muted natural colors. I almost exclusively paint plants and birds and can get those colors with CMY. But, it is easier with the combination of warm and cool versions. I was so blown away when I added yellow to magenta and got primary red! That just made me look at color in such a completely new way. How could red come from "pink" + yellow? I've only really done mixing extensively with watercolor so I don't know how or if it would be different with opaque media.
I’m excited about your painting journey. Thank you so much for sharing your learning experience with us. I’m determined to master it as well. And I’m excited to see what experiments you do with the RYB and CMY color wheels. Personally I think adding both to your pallet would give the broadest range of colors. 🫡
You are amazing and a huge inspiration, it is really incredible the time you put into your videos for us!! I have been practicing art lately. Thank you so much. YOU HAVE A FELLOW MELBOURNE GAL HERE
There are color sets with magenta, cyan and yello - for example: Holbein Acryl Gouache Five Primary Colors Set or Schmincke - AKADEMIE Gouache (both gouache though). I think I also saw acrylic and oil in the past but I wasn't able to find it quickly.
Fantastic video! I’m a Autobody painter and it was so neat seeing a artist perceptive and struggles on colour matching. Your video on the Cyan,magenta, yellow colour wheel re fuelled my passion for colour. 👍🏻
Really great job with paints for a first timer. Can't wait to see a video of you using blending and shading techniques with paint .. very different from pencil ✏, but SO much fun. TTYSOON funny girl 😁
This is amazing. I know you can match most anything using primary colors (both rbgy and cmy)and blk&wht. That's why i always keep those in my art supplies stock.
the colour struggle re: cyan and magenta is REAL!!!! for physical artwork, e.i polymer clay, pastels, paint having CYMK makes the process so much easier. There are colours that you CANNOT get with the standard RYB in meduims with pigments. I have to buy the magenta & cyan samples separately so often!
Better color-matching comes with practice, as does so much of art! Jazza's had many more years of practice doing this, so.... good for you! One tip - when trying to make small adjustments, don't use the whole puddle - pull a little aside, add your additions. If they don't work, start with more of the original color puddle, and adjust that!
Yay! I am so exited that you are interested in paining! It is not easy (as you know) but my advice is to usually let the paint dry before you continue fiddling with it. Trust me. I have learned that the hard way😅
That is interesting about there being no cyan and magenta in paint sets. I have some acrylics in these colours but I think I got them separately. Maybe you could try these. They are called System3 I don't use acrylics much any more but would love to see if you could make a painting just using printer colours.
Good tip on starting to paint and mix colors.. Always take very small amounts of strong colors to your weak. Example: put out a glob of white then take very small amount of black to white glob to make grey. Also depending weather the paint is cool to cool or warm to warm you can end up with a muddy or unexpected color. Like adding Yellow to black can make green. Men tend to see colors different due to the fact they were meant to be hunters and see distant in lower light and have more of that night vision chemical in their eyes then women. =) Hope that makes sense and helps! Also Happy Paint Journey to you!!!!!
I don’t know if you want to try oils or acrylics, but there are water soluble oils that clean up with just soap and water. As others have said a split primary palette with the inclusion of a black and white is so versatile! Artist grade paints almost always have a magenta available. Gamblin has a nice one that I use. And so does liquitex if you’re looking for acrylic paints
Certainly a fun video! Color matching is a skill. Some are very natural at doing it, some others take the learning curve. This could lead you to a new exploration of materials, maybe? Not oil, I guess… but Acrylics? Watercolor? I think you did a good job! I constantly mix matte acrylics with color pencils and the results are interesting. I have a book with color mixing that gives you accurate percentages for each color you need (no, not a Pantone book). It was aimed at typography, to contrast it with background). It was a really good book to use as reference and practice when studying my major. How I used that percentage in the book? I changed it to drops or mm3/ cm3. It worked most of the time. Specially when dealing with the tasks given by one of my teachers. He gave us a reference painting that we had to reproduce to a 100%, not only in shapes, but in color it must’ve been identical ( or you failed ). The name of the book is Type & Color, I don’t have the publisher here with me right now. It’s now a very old edition, maybe 1990 or 1991. Thanks for so much fun videos!
I have the book you mentioned. It is my reference book to create two or three color combinations with Cyan, Magenta, & Yellow. This is the information for anyone interested: Type & Color A Handbook of Creative Combinations Authors: Alton Cook & Robert Fleury Rockport Publishers, 1989 first edition, 1990 second edition.
I will try to find the copy of my book, and share pics on my Twitter, I might not have time this week to do a flip through video to add to my channel. I am in the last two weeks of my semester and that is a lot of final projects to grade. Once you see the pages of this handbook, you will understand when I said that the learning curve for color matching is easy to attempt with good results on any media (dry or wet).
You are literally the most creative person on TH-cam!!! Sarah you learnt colour matching in one min without even practicing first 👏 And you also proved that women can perceive colours better than men 😁 Please keep entertaining us like this! 😄
Oilpainters traditionally use red, yellow and blue - but I get where you're coming from, I usually get additional magenta and cyan for my water colours and I definitely use them in my acrylics, as well ^^'
Nicely done! If you look at a full line of paints you can find the CMY Colors. Most are available open stock, but not always at your local stores as they do not sell! You may also need to look at the larger companies or more extensive color lines like Lucas, Liquitex, Golden! My favorite paint company is DaVinci of California, they sell everything from watercolors to oils! Those might be to much to ship to Australia. I think they are worth it but that is just me!
This would have been so much easier with watercolors. Painting with triads is very common and magenta is very popular for that reason. Also, any color mixing it's going to be harder if paints include multiple pigments. Also with watercolor you don't have to try as get values and hue at the same time because there's no adding white. You just add water to make lighter.
I am a watercolorist and I completely agree, except she's not trying to render the object in a painting, but paint it right on the object at the end. So you have to use an opaque paint. But acrylics would have been easier cleanup!!
You can mix any color with oil paints easily with practice. It’s only hard if you aren’t familiar with it. It takes very few pigments to make accurate color mixes with oils. I can make any color with titanium white, cadmium yellow, burnt umber, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, quinacridone magenta, and cobalt teal.
I take it this is in RGB comparison strictly? RGB is not linear, so your percentage will not match the human-perceived distance between colors. RGB -> to -> LaB and a DeltaE metric is the most common for human-color-perception. There are far more complex colorspaces and DeltaE formulas for getting even closer to human-perception. From what I can tell, (dunno if it's some app telling you or working it out yourself) working out the problem, the sum of your remainder (absolute value of N-N) for [R]/256, [G]/256 and [B]/256 / 3 * 100 == your percentage over/under. "0" would be a perfect match. In that case, this means that 100 - UnderOver% == how close you are in RGB. Here's a chart I did plotting my findings: RGB is a 3 concatenated strings of hex values padded to always be 2 digits prepended with a #. # | RR | GG | BB hex is base 16, we normally use base 10. It's just a fancy way of saying I can count to N with a single digit! (in computer terms, the extra 6 from from letters a-f) so in base 16: we have 0-F (16 possible 0-9, A-F) single digits. Weird Count: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,etc.... so in base 10: we have 0-9 (10 possible 0-9) single digits. Normal Count: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,etc.... To keep things simple I posted the hex-to-dec conversion to work with numbers, not both numbers and letters, posted the difference between the two colors separated r-g-b values, and shown the math worked out for the average. in the "Diff:" Category, a positive number shows how far UNDER you were, where a negative number shows how far OVER you were per the 3 colors. Results are super close to your video's posted scores.

Thank you so much for mentioning the accounts, because I wanted to check them out and Jazza didn't mention them! I am pretty sure they were wiping the knife between picking up pigments, it would keep your palette cleaner.
"I am not a painter ... " 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Well, if you cannot do it, WHO could? Your coloring books are pieces of art, honestly. I bought now also one Disney book from Kinkade Studios, and are completely disheartened ... 😂
You should do a video making something using watercolor and colored pencils. I love watercolor, not so good at colored pencils, but I think combining them could be really cool.
Hi from Australia, I have drawn, painted over the last 45 years. I could never get it just right, so I gave up. Now I had to give up work do to my health. I read, doing computer cross-stitching and colour in digitaly, l love to organise things a little OCD l know so when cleaning out boxes of my children and grandchildren l found all their colour pencils (DERWENT, FABER-CASTELL, J. BORROURS, school sets) which are hard to medium creamey. I have watched your videos and it has inspired me to again try my artist smouldering down deep. So l have switched ever pencil and markers l have found around the house. I have started to colour in some old colouring in books and hinting about how l love to lose myself in and received several books. THANK YOU😍🥰💋💋
Can't wait for the painting series! Might I suggest gouache? I feel the watercolor video market is a little saturated! Also ADC Art Attack is a newer gouache fan, so you guys could totes do a collab later :-)
I have been on a wild goose change trying to find the blood red and blue from my childhood to colour a heart with veins in a colouring book…Can’t because of the old colours not matching the modern cyan etc way of mixing colours…still looking 🤣🤣🥰
Very cool, just a very cute introduction to color theory. Perhaps a more basic lesson on how you derived your game, what the color numbers mean and such might be in order as well.
The numbers are the hex codes, and the percentage is the difference between the hex codes. It’s an international color system that web designers use to recognize colors and identify them. It’s not a perfect system for paints, because hex codes are screen colors, but it was the easiest way to see how closely they matched
Yep its the only reason that the RYB weel is most used in Oil painting is just been that way since way back in the day when we did not have as many pigments available. But abteilung 502 Oil paints has magenta and several other Nice colors, and they are named for model painters and only come in 15ml tubes, thats the only two downsides to the line
I made my husband subscribe so 1 I would not miss your videos and 2 in order to make commenting hard 😅. I love this video. I cannot remember if I already commented, but I am impressed. Do not underestimate your colour theory from your coloured pencils and texters. Good on you. Thank you for teaching me about layering to get a colour that I need, but do have:).
I bought acrylic paint on CMY+White+bBçack and I can take any color from that.. of course, color match is a step "much" up.. but is really easy to get just these three. I do regret buying a watercolor with 48 colors because makes me confused...
I’ve had this idea on my list to do for months since I saw the artist do it perfectly on tik tok 🤣 but I kept putting it off because I didn’t think it would be feasible to do too well. You did great!!!
I was also team white and gold hahaha
Well now you HAVE to do it 😜
Lol that’s how I feel too 😂
I saw jazza do it and now you and it seems like so much fun! Great job!!!
Omg I love you guys Chloe and Sarah ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ChloeRoseArt IDK because every time I see it it looks in a different color ( blue and black or yellow n gold. Idk why
Oh my gosh, EXCELLENT first attempt at this! Definitely one-upped Jazza, he'll have to do a follow up video to redeem himself 😉 😄
Using a 2d colour paper is way more easier to detect the differences than a 3d banana. It isn't a fair comparison to jazza's performance
@@Marnige actually, in sarah’s video she did do 3d objects, and jazza used 2d paper as well. they both did a mix of both, and i think it’s fair to say that sarah did better.
The science behind seeing colors is so fascinating, and I'm kind of glad you're hooked on this, this video was so cool!
I’ve been hooked on the science of colors ever since my color theory video over a year ago!
me screaming "YOU NEED YELLOW!" the whole time you were making teal 😂😂
I should have just started with blue and yellow and ignore the greens. I probably would have found it easier!
Same here-
I would like to say Thank You for being a very normal, funny, enthusiastic artist, who makes learning inspirational & achievable. I have spent the last few weeks binging on your wonderful videos and smiling at your antics. I’ve sharpened my pencils, downloaded your colouring pages and watched the colour theory and b,ending videos multiple times. I started to learn to draw during quarantine, and then work took over again but I am starting to use colouring to deal with stressful days, and that is down to you!
Thank you!
Tip: when mixing a light color and a darker color. Start with your light and slowly add in the dark. Some pigments are much stronger than you think.
Yahoo and happy day! Thanks for putting out a blast of fun video! You did great with this, and lookin forward to the painty stuff.
Be well alls, and chipper cheerios! 😄
This was so entertaining and frustrating to watch ahaha 🤣 and omg I love your cat, he's so chill

same here, in art school we use cmyk in both gouache and acrylic
I can't wait to see you learning painting, I'm sure I'll learn some more alongnwith you!
Very nice color mixing Sarah. I love it you're having fun. That's the main reason for learning & being creative. Excellent example for me too 🤗🤗👏🏽👏🏽
Painters refuse to accept that CMY are the true primaries... Red, yellow and blue make for a more muted and natural palette which is often preferred.

I could never tire watching you Sarah. The way you explain things and just have fun in your videos .. it's inspiring
Anyone who dares challenge Jazza is my favorite kind of person. Cant wait to watch rhis video!!!!!!
Good job with the color matching!! And good luck with learning to paint 🎨 🖌 !!!

Okay this isn't fair. You were such a natural! awesome vid
This is amazing. I know you can match most anything using primary colors (both rbgy and cmy)and blk&wht. That's why i always keep those in my art supplies stock.
Golden acrylics, primary yellow, primary magenta, and primary cyan are the best. You can get an amazing range of colours. :)
As someone who has seen people colour match in car painting I suppose I'm used to seeing it come to life so often its great
This was so fun to watch! This shows how talented you are Sarah! 😍😍❤❤
the colour struggle re: cyan and magenta is REAL!!!! for physical artwork, e.i polymer clay, pastels, paint having CYMK makes the process so much easier. There are colours that you CANNOT get with the standard RYB in meduims with pigments. I have to buy the magenta & cyan samples separately so often!
Im painting a large canvas for my living room and i have to match the colors of the reference photo so this helped plus im a perfectionist like you 😅
FIRSTT! Haven't watched this yet but i know I'll love it and I'm excited to learn something new about a new medium ^^
Colour matching is veryyy hard but you still did amazing! You never disappoint us, Sarah!

I need to see you do a gouache portrait of the cat please🤞😊
Yay! I am so exited that you are interested in paining! It is not easy (as you know) but my advice is to usually let the paint dry before you continue fiddling with it. Trust me. I have learned that the hard way😅
This sounds like something I will struggle with too! Thanks for the reminder!
The kitty mixing at the end was my absolute fave so cute wow !
Can’t wait to watch you learn and experiment. I’m sure you’ll come up with some fun stuff.
Loved the NerdGirl part about color theory! Also, I think I’ll go score some beginner’s oils and learn with you!
I’ll probably start with acrylics and do oils at a later stage 😊
That is interesting about there being no cyan and magenta in paint sets. I have some acrylics in these colours but I think I got them separately. Maybe you could try these. They are called System3 I don't use acrylics much any more but would love to see if you could make a painting just using printer colours.
My gouache set came with cyan and magenta, but as far as I know, the brand I use (Renesans) isn't easily found outside my country
I'm excited to watch you learn to paint. I'm a watercolor artist and colored pencils baffle me. Imo, painting is sooooo much easier.
Oh my goodness! I can't wait to see you paint! You're gonna do good.
I loved this video😁🥰Thier was so much info👍Thank you for all of the work you and your man do to make these great videos👏❤❤❤
So excited for your learning to paint videos! Also, you did pretty well in this challenge

My favorite paint company is DaVinci of California, they sell everything from watercolors to oils!
Those might be to much to ship to Australia. I think they are worth it but that is just me!
Thank you Sarah ! Fun and a good learning video !
Love that you did the kitty too!! Great job !!
You’ve been talking about painting for awhile, good luck and I can’t wait to see your journey!
This would have been so much easier with watercolors. Painting with triads is very common and magenta is very popular for that reason. Also, any color mixing it's going to be harder if paints include multiple pigments. Also with watercolor you don't have to try as get values and hue at the same time because there's no adding white. You just add water to make lighter.
I am a watercolorist and I completely agree, except she's not trying to render the object in a painting, but paint it right on the object at the end. So you have to use an opaque paint. But acrylics would have been easier cleanup!!
You can mix any color with oil paints easily with practice. It’s only hard if you aren’t familiar with it. It takes very few pigments to make accurate color mixes with oils. I can make any color with titanium white, cadmium yellow, burnt umber, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue, quinacridone magenta, and cobalt teal.
I take it this is in RGB comparison strictly? RGB is not linear, so your percentage will not match the human-perceived distance between colors. RGB -> to -> LaB and a DeltaE metric is the most common for human-color-perception. There are far more complex colorspaces and DeltaE formulas for getting even closer to human-perception.
From what I can tell, (dunno if it's some app telling you or working it out yourself) working out the problem, the sum of your remainder (absolute value of N-N) for [R]/256, [G]/256 and [B]/256 / 3 * 100 == your percentage over/under. "0" would be a perfect match. In that case, this means that 100 - UnderOver% == how close you are in RGB.
Here's a chart I did plotting my findings:
RGB is a 3 concatenated strings of hex values padded to always be 2 digits prepended with a #.
# | RR | GG | BB
hex is base 16, we normally use base 10. It's just a fancy way of saying I can count to N with a single digit! (in computer terms, the extra 6 from from letters a-f)
so in base 16: we have 0-F (16 possible 0-9, A-F) single digits.
Weird Count: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f,10,11,12,etc....
so in base 10: we have 0-9 (10 possible 0-9) single digits.
Normal Count: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,etc....
To keep things simple I posted the hex-to-dec conversion to work with numbers, not both numbers and letters, posted the difference between the two colors separated r-g-b values, and shown the math worked out for the average.
in the "Diff:" Category, a positive number shows how far UNDER you were, where a negative number shows how far OVER you were per the 3 colors.
Results are super close to your video's posted scores.

Thank you so much for mentioning the accounts, because I wanted to check them out and Jazza didn't mention them! I am pretty sure they were wiping the knife between picking up pigments, it would keep your palette cleaner.
You are amazing sarah ☺️
I loved watching this, makes me want to try!! Also your cat is SO cute.
Aww, the cat, that’s a new level unlocked. The teal, I was thinking more blue needed?
You did amazing! Jazza was good...but...you were better! ;) Way to go!!
First like!!!
Oh my gosh, Sarah I just started watching this video and I am loving it!!!!!!
P.s I just subscribed to your second channel!!!
Color matching a kitty? You win
Yaaayyyyy we're ganna learn paintinggggg
Good luck
Cant wait for you to learn how to paint!
Congrats on your mastery of colour. Also, wanna see you collab with Jazza now.
That cat really loves Sarah. They don't normally like their paws touched.
He just loves ANY attention ❤️
😂 getting ideas from jazza? I love it!
This was fun loved it. I love how you explain everything ❤
Wow....u are soo good at it
"I am not a painter ... " 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Well, if you cannot do it, WHO could? Your coloring books are pieces of art, honestly. I bought now also one Disney book from Kinkade Studios, and are completely disheartened ... 😂
You should do a video making something using watercolor and colored pencils. I love watercolor, not so good at colored pencils, but I think combining them could be really cool.
Hi from Australia, I have drawn, painted over the last 45 years. I could never get it just right, so I gave up. Now I had to give up work do to my health. I read, doing computer cross-stitching and colour in digitaly, l love to organise things a little OCD l know so when cleaning out boxes of my children and grandchildren l found all their colour pencils (DERWENT, FABER-CASTELL, J. BORROURS, school sets) which are hard to medium creamey. I have watched your videos and it has inspired me to again try my artist smouldering down deep. So l have switched ever pencil and markers l have found around the house. I have started to colour in some old colouring in books and hinting about how l love to lose myself in and received several books. THANK YOU😍🥰💋💋
Ahhh Sarah I love you soo much I’ve been watching for a bit but have never seen any videos this early
Tu es tellement talentueuse! 😍
Can't wait for the painting video good luck!!!
Can't wait for the painting series! Might I suggest gouache? I feel the watercolor video market is a little saturated! Also ADC Art Attack is a newer gouache fan, so you guys could totes do a collab later :-)
What a fun challenge! Congrats on that 99%! =)
I thought you were gonna swatch paint on your kitties paw for a minute 😂 fun video :)
Not with oil paints! Nooo 😂
That was fun! Thank you.
I have been on a wild goose change trying to find the blood red and blue from my childhood to colour a heart with veins in a colouring book…Can’t because of the old colours not matching the modern cyan etc way of mixing colours…still looking 🤣🤣🥰
I once got a paint set that had RGB and CMY colours and Black and White. Made colour matching in the colour theory class I was in so much easier.
You did an amazing job! And I really love your cat. :)
wow you did amazing!!
Very cool, just a very cute introduction to color theory. Perhaps a more basic lesson on how you derived your game, what the color numbers mean and such might be in order as well.
The numbers are the hex codes, and the percentage is the difference between the hex codes. It’s an international color system that web designers use to recognize colors and identify them.
It’s not a perfect system for paints, because hex codes are screen colors, but it was the easiest way to see how closely they matched
Well done! Looking forward to you learning to paint. But acrylic will be easier and less messy than oil, I think!
This was hilarious fun!
Loved this video. Please do more.
The End was so funny when you did your cat😂
Yep its the only reason that the RYB weel is most used in Oil painting is just been that way since way back in the day when we did not have as many pigments available. But abteilung 502 Oil paints has magenta and several other Nice colors, and they are named for model painters and only come in 15ml tubes, thats the only two downsides to the line
Very excited to see you paint
I made my husband subscribe so 1 I would not miss your videos and 2 in order to make commenting hard 😅. I love this video. I cannot remember if I already commented, but I am impressed. Do not underestimate your colour theory from your coloured pencils and texters. Good on you. Thank you for teaching me about layering to get a colour that I need, but do have:).
I love your energy in this video 😂😂
I bought acrylic paint on CMY+White+bBçack and I can take any color from that.. of course, color match is a step "much" up.. but is really easy to get just these three. I do regret buying a watercolor with 48 colors because makes me confused...
I love how you color match the Cat at the end ❤️😺
Now that we are venturing into painting, would love to see you take on the thomas kinkade disney coloring book with paint!!
THAT FIRST TRY THO, GREAT JOB!! 😊🥰
Thank you for referencing the best line ever from Crocodile Dundee 😂
