How to mix natural looking shades of green from two of the most common store bought acrylic colors.
It can be very difficult and frustrating to mix realistic and natural greens but I want to show you a quick and easy way to expand your range of green colors and also how to achieve more natural looking colors.
During my years as an art educator I've gotten tons of good questions about mixing paint and green colors in particular. Color mixing is a vast subject and also a very important one. But what do you do when you just want to paint without first learning all the theory behind it all? In this video I'll show you one way to get started mixing realistic looking greens in no time.
I invest a lot of time and love in filming and editing the videos so I'm happy for your support. Please consider leaving a comment or a like and subscribe to the channel if you would like to see more videos like this :)

Have lovely and creative week :)
Thanks for sharing. I often use black and yellow to create a nice natural looking green as well. ❤
Love these color mixing videos. So helpful. I’d take an online class if you created one❤
Awesome thank you so much - ☕️
Very useful!
very useful.
Genial 👏 I like the green colors
I love making swatches of different kinds. But since I first began watching your channel, a long while back now, that's when I really began getting a good knowledge of mixing for more toned down natural colors and I've definitely fallen in love with mixing my own colors up...its a very satisfying thing to do, relaxing to mix and make charts...but also super fun to use colors, in your own paintings, that you mixed yourself for exactly what you needed. It's a powerful thing to learn for sure!!
And you're so wonderful at it!!!
Hope you're doing well my friend 🥰
Yes! I love to mix greens! I started out learning rosemaling in the early 70s from a book and the only green allowed was black mixed with yellow and it was so ugly! Imagine my delight when I started experimenting and discovered blue and yellow! Lol! Oh and that pthalo is one of those words where you drop the p... thalo. I personally think 90% of those trying to figure out how to pronounce it when reading it struggle. I hear it a lot on TH-cam!
I really like the olive colors you get by adding back. I do a lot of mixing when I paint. Hardly ever use a color straight out of the tube. But it’s still a big guessing game for me. I haven’t quite mastered the color wheel yet. Thanks for sharing!! : )
Thank you this is so very helpful, always so difficult to get natural greens
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting and helpful. I would have never thought of mixing magenta with green! and there you go and have very nice results! Thank you very much Marie-Louise and have a great day 😊
Thank you Marie Louise I will explore this next painting !
This is perfect timing for me, as I'm getting ready to paint an abstract with shades of green!
Sounds very cool - happy painting 🎨
So awesome this tutorial. I'm going home tonight and trying it. Thank you so much!
Yay, have fun 🎨
Thank you so much for doing the greens!!!❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I still have to get back to my lessons. I’ll be in touch soon.
You’re most welcome Diana 🎨

I don't have any greens at all or black (by choice) as our teacher says better to mix your own, so was hoping to get your take on mixing greens without using green or black. However your video was interesting to watch. Thank you
Great tool. However I too do not have any greens. I always mix them but now I can do it in an organised way that I can come back and use. My next job. Also love your paper plates for palettes. I am using a glass cutting board that I found in an op shop. It works real good too.
Yes I rarely use straight from the tube. I seem to have so many different shades of green paint that I either bought or were gifted but never used.
I like the ideas of the glass cutting board for paint mixing, thanks

Dejlig visuel fremstillig og forklaring
I have noted that in your wonderful tutorials on abstract landscapesyou never use green
I read somewhere that the human eye is able to detect more shades of green than any other colour.
How cool is that!
