You can lighten colors with white, yellow or combination of these two. Yellow works great to lighten orange, red, brown and sometimes green colors. For blue and purple most of the times it's better to only use white, because blue gets green when you add yellow and purple gets brown or gray.

    Thank you for the tips! The old school, New York school retro colors are not very toned down, I notice. De Kooning, Krasner, those types are in your face bright. But otherwise, these are great helps for color mixing, which is hard for us new painters.

    • @toon-nagtegaal
      @toon-nagtegaal 2 дні тому

      It's always a matter of what you want to achieve. Artists are always free to do whatever they like (luckily😂), so exaggerating things on purpose/making certain color choices is great and fun. I made this video for people who are trying to paint realistically and a common problem is that people use way too saturated colors. As soon as that's understood, there's also the choice to purpously nót mute colors, then it is a choice. Enjoy painting!👍👍🎨

    Like you, as a young artist (many years ago), I struggled with getting the color I was after. It wasn't until I came across a book explaining color bias in artist paint that the missing piece to my puzzle was solved . OMG! I finally knew what was going wrong with my color mixing. The amazing thing I discovered is that most color mixing books and teachers make no mention of the fact that there is no paint that doesn't have a bias and the trouble you encounter mixing paint. Some of them even promote a palette consisting of maybe 5 colors that they claim you can create ANY color from! This video is the best explanation I have seen on the on this subject. Thank you.

    Acrylics dries fast on your palette, and when you want it to stay wet for longer to blend. Otherwise, it takes its time to dry 😂
