I have trouble mixing to make a gray sage green for eucalyptus color
Since Yellow Ochre is one of the cheapest pigments out there, being a totally natural and harmless earth color found in the ground, it seems fatuous to mix something looking a bit like it from Cadmium Yellow, which is a heavy metal color (potentially toxic) and which costs a lot more than Yellow Ochre.
I make it from Hansa Yellow Medium. I avoid cadmiums as well.
I think she recommends cadmium yellow hue, which, correct me if I’m wrong, doesn’t contain cadmium.
Yellow ochre is also granulating in a lot of brands so mix in it yourself mean you can keep it non granulating
Excellent video... I'm in love with the greens created from neutral tint and quinacridone gold.... I'd love to know if ultramarine blue, ultramarine rose colours can be created by mixing...also, can you do a video on colour families...like what traits of the colour lend to their names such as the cadmium family, quinacridone family, madders, ultramarines, perylenes, etc... as always, I have enjoyed this video too...my best wishes to your lovebugs ❤️
The names are mostly due to its chemical composition, mineral origins or even botanical like madder red comes from the root of the madder plant which is a lightfast red dye.
You should check color wheel videos and other resources to better understand the color temperatures and how it influences color mixing, like warm red and warm yellow will make a vibrant orange etc.
Hi, As a French speaker, I totally agree with your pronunciation of mauve ;)
I’d like a color tutorial for certain leaves or flowers or certain items . Like “use this fo
1. Eucalyptus leaves
2. Daisy leaves
3. Peony flowers
4. Blue jeans
5. Red barn color
6. The best sky color
Oh my God, as a person with a total analytical, math person this is so hard. All I want is some affordable, easy to find acrylic paint in the true primary colors.😢 But every brand has all different names. I can’t even get out of the gate. Anyone have any advice? I’m already 51, so ….it’s possible I’ll be dead before just figuring this part out. Help!
I feel ya, MSU ...100%...so at least we each know we're not alone.
A very useful video. Thank you! I would be interested in how to make quinacridone gold. And neutral tint also please. Thank you!
This is so exciting!!! I've been intriqued by color theory & mixing colors and the one color I could find NO direction on creating was Perylene violet . Another artist used it frequently for underpainting & to add interest in her paintings. Expensive to buy...& I had no clue.
THANK YOU Emma !!! You made my day!!!
I came here for perylene violet as well. It won’t fit in my pallet but I keep seeing my fave artist using it.
Thanks for video. The reason I have Perylene green (which I think is actually a black pigment) is to darken other greens.
Me too - I love how adding Perylene Green to other versions of greens creates lovely, cohesive variations for bouquets!
This is great! What is your suggestion for mixing Paynes Grey?
I love the color mixing videos. I'd love to see mixed: payne's gray, quin gold, rose of ultramarine, burnt orange or burnt seinna. Great video.
Rose of ultramarine is a Daniel Smith color. It’s equal parts Quin Rose & Ultramarine Blue
@@bluejenny26 Yes, it is Daniel Smith, however, the color is very similiar to W&N's Purple Lake. I have both colors and the two are almost exactly alike. Thanks for the info.
I am just a beginner but I love color mixing and experimenting with it. I love the colors you have mixed in this video, such beautiful colors 😍 Thank you so much 🙏
Complementary, not contrasting, but very informative video! I learned a lot.
Love your mixing videos. It reminds me to vary my color palettes and even vary the tones of my favorite colors.
Thank you Emma. I love these mixing videos! It is so valuable and I learn so much. I’d love to see more!
This was informative… a color theory vid!!! TFS Emma! 🙏🏾👍🏾😃
This is so helpful, appreciate this very much.
Please do more colour mixes.
Thank you for this! Can we make /mix our own Coral, Lavender, ??
You make me fall in love with watercolors again. And I haven’t touched my art supplies in over a year 🥺🥺
Perfect video !! I would definitely love more of the coloring mixing/matching videos. You're awesome Emma !!!
Which Windsor red do you prefer... there are 3 to select from. Windsor red deep, windsor red blue shade and windsor red green shade. Thanks! Love your videos! Which is the paper that you recommend that works like Arches but is less costly. I have been getting frustrated with watermarks when adding dimension in flowers. Thank you so much! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Play time! Fun to watch and see how you think through and adjust your mixes.
I know beggars can't be choosers, and I do NOT want to seem ungrateful, but I can't seem to get a clear screen shot of your final view of all mixes. Don't know if my problem is with Print Screen or with Paint. Any idea what I am missing?
Hi Emma, I am thinking of joining your patreon and was wondering if you offer traceables? thx!
Hooker’s green varies in hue so much from brand to brand…and some look very close to Sap Green. Do you use the W&N version in your recommended palette list?
i dont have too much windsor paints what would be a good sub? i have some schip farb, rubans, and some art philosophy
very helpful!!!!k. how is the best way to make those other color charets that have the same colors above and down the side? I think ite is in your excellent booik. I am afraid to do it? any tips
Just found this thank you can you do mixing earthing tones one on neutral colours What is neutral tint pant and what is it used for please thank you. Stay well stay well hope winter is not not to bad🐨💐🌈
I would be interested in how to mix paint for skin color.... thanks!
Thankyou!. Excelente is really useful!
I love your video ❤️ Thank you so much ! By the way "mauve" you say it very well 😉
What’s the best color mix for a Caucasian skin tone?
Loved this video. I have Perylene green, maroon and violet in my Amazon wish list right now, but now I can make them myself! Any substitutions for Windsor Blue, I don’t have that one. Thank you. I’d love to see more mixing videos like this one.
Windsor Blue is a base color, so it’s hard to mix it. It’s a good blue to use to mix many other colors. It’s also a blue that is good for a CMY color wheel. Also known as Phthalo Blue in other brands.
Super helpful!
Wow… Thank You!! I needed this so much!!
To make indigo, did you use Windsor blue red shade or Windsor blue green?
Dommage que c est pas sous titré en français
Merci
Love your videos. Kisses from Brasil 🎨🇧🇷
Wow! I took Art all through high school but we never covered how to mix colours! Now I know. Thank you so much! Please make more about mixing colours as it really is so interesting.
Dang girl, you got those colors spot on! Super cool! Thanks for this! Am hoping to see the June florals soon! Hope you and ur family are doing well, Emma!
Great mixing video. I liked watching your whole process on how to got to the end color - Thank you
Do you have a video on mixing an autumn pallete?
I love this palette!!! I'll be more adventurous thanks to your guidance. Please do more Emma.
Such a great video for all level learner especially early basic learners. You made it so easy and your mixing technique seemed created now and then. It gave me so much creativity and I started creating other variations and tones and got totally lost in the process. Love your work already but I think this made me moved and involved in exploration more deeply. Thanks and keep making such videos more often
What a great lesson, very helpful. I would love to see more color mixing for sure. I would really like to see your full color palette, what colors it includes and why. What colors mix with each other and how you use them. Thank you so much
When I started only had limited pallet so wish I had seen this then. Thanks Emma. By the way my eldest daughter is 41 next week and although grown up they still want you😊. I have followed so many of your videos and my art improving all the time. Painted the turtle and cat the other day, never drawn or painted animals before and my family love them. Thank you once again for ll the encouragement. Good luck with your family, make the most of them while they are young time flies and they will soon be grown up. X
Great! Very helpful to watch you play around and mix colors! It is fun to experiment and see all the colors you can mix.
Very useful and intresting thank you
Is there a way to mix manganese violet?
Thank you Emma , I also love the mixing videos and would look forward to more of them 😊
Nice video, very well done!
I used to do this a lot myself, I may need to flex that muscle 😉
I didn’t n’ t have that violet . What is a substitute?
What brand of Hookers green? 😊
Loved this video thank you!
Great tutorial. Would love to see one for cool and warm greys
It was really cool to see your process and how you can just add a little bit of a colour and it really changes it!
This is useful info really even with a big collection of paints! After all learning mixes and using limited pallets for a particular artwork is still incredibly useful! I will say saving time from having convince mixes/paints is great and pigment properties are not copied by mixing. Such as granulation, separation, opacity, ouch, etc. cobalt teal blue (pg 50)has properties mixing a similar teal won’t replicate. And nickel Azo yellow ( PY 150) has a vibrancy and pushes other pigments in a way you can’t ‘mix’. If that makes sense! Mixing can be fin and important but it also can waste time and not be ‘worth it’ for some people.
Note you can also premix convince colours in empty wells/pans! Premixing so it’s already in your pallet. Not each time you need it!
It looks like you have more red
Sooo helpful. Thanks
Another great video. Yes, please do more color mixing! The subtleties of adjusting are very interesting to me.
Me too, it's fascinating!
Any mix for buff titanium? I have been unsuccessful.
Try mixing yellow ochre + white gouache + a tad of perm rose- it comes close. Full disclosure, I did just purchase Buff Titanium last week and love it😉
nice info thank you
my problem is I don't have purple or alot of the "muted" colors to mix. I have red, yellow, green, blue, and sienna. basically rainbow without pink or purple
Five minutes in and I LOVE THIS! I've wanted this kind of instruction for ages!
Don't suppose you can tell us how to mix Hooker's Green...?
I would love to see more of these. My watercolour books tell me to use ochre, red ochre, (I've got yellow ochre in my pallete but no clue how to get the other 2).
Another book asks for Cyan, Azure (isn't that just teal?) crimson/scarlet/vermilion /carmine (I know they're all reds but how to get each is a mystery)...
Awesome!! I love finding fun new color mixes. I recently learned that if I add a small amount of neutral tint (I use W&N Pro brand for that specific color) to red or green or violet, it makes the lovely moody perylene shades you have here. Kind of a quick shortcut. 😊
Wow, thank you so much. This is an awesome video for a beginner like me. Easy, to the point, full of information, exactly what I needed and wanted. And I think it is useful for anyone that loves color and this medium. Thank you again 💐💐💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Haha... I've been mixing my own perelyne green without even knowing what it was called. Super! This was a fun video, and I loved seeing your thought process into what to mix.
i love it 😊
I love color mixing, although it sure does need practice! Is the Winsor Blue that you're using- Winsor Blue Red Shade? Thanks 😊
I could use more mixing videos from you. Many run around bushes and i appreciate your straight to the chase explainations. I have watched dozens in the past couple days. So i have comparisons ....thank you.
Love this !
That was cool
Thank you!!
Love color mixing , would love to do more
Really enjoyed this video on mixing paint colors.
Thanks so much for posting.
Love this, I’ve probably bought too many paints because like you, I LOVE THEM SO! I am going to try some of these out. Love your videos and have learned so much. You are a wonderful teach. Thank you!
So freaking HELPFUL! Thank you Emma! 🙏🎨👩🎨
Hi ! my first language is French, the way you pronounce "mauve" is correct ! It's the same sound as "oh" when you say : oh my god !
I love the mixing videos, but most need WN colors. I gave away all of my WN colors. What would WN Red or Blue be closer to using a non brand name
Helpful video thank you! You say 'Mauve' Like us English folk do 😁 xx
i'm not into florals... but i subscribed to ur channel just for your mixing colors videos! :)
so, please keep them coming!
Wow excellent 👌 I'm waiting for this one tutorial and refresh what I knowledge
Thanks!
I really liked this video Excellent lesson to learn to mix colors. I’d love to get more videos on this subject :) thanks!
I've also noticed it depends what sets you have. like some "burnts" I have are closer to sienna or umber depending on tones/shades
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going to try and mix some of these myself now that you have put this together for us.
Thanks again!!
Very excellent demo on mixing 🎉. I need to play more with mixing. There are so many colors that I’ve yet to discover. Mixing your own makes your painting so much more personal. Great video as always ❤
when you use WN paints the colours windsor blue and red it would be nice for the beginners, who use other brands to mention the traditional names. e.g. phtalo blue or prussion blue etc.
Wow!!!!! That was the best color mixing information I have gotten in years of searching for help! Excellent video Emma. The way you talked through it and showed your pallet was incredibly helpful. You just can't convey this with only a chart. I would definitely like to see more.
Thank you Emma, very informative Hope your little one is much better now xxx
That was awesome. I have a set of mission gold paints and I don’t like their version of indigo but now I can make one from their paints Instead of using a different brand
Love this type of videos, very helpful, thanks for putting the info on screen. 😊
Really enjoyed and learned a lot .what a wonderful session.thanks for following up with notations as well
Bless you
This is great Emma! Love to watch and learn color mixing. Please share more! 😊 Is there a way to mix Emerald Green?
I really enjoyed the color mixing video. Thank you. Would love to see more.
Thank you Emma. Love this, it's so helpful. 😊
I love your color mixing videos Emma. You are amazing.
Thanks Emma. Love these types of videos.
