Lighten colors with white and or yellow with acrylics

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.

Besides paint I regularly need some coffee of course! If you want to support me a little bit, you can buy me one here:

You're an excellent teacher. Your voice is clear and vibrant. The way you share your thought process and reasoning for everything you demonstrate makes your lessons easy to follow.
I always feel like I've learned a lot after watching your videos. Because of your teaching method, I retain nearly everything. Yours is a brilliant channel! Thank you so much.

Thanks! This is so helpful. You are my favourite teacher. You have inspired me to restart with Acrylics after avoiding them due to problems with handling.

[@toon-nagtegaal]

That's great! Acrylics are tough when you come from oils, but... when you master them a bit, then not only are you a great acrylic painter, it also helps with oils and every other type of paint!

excellent advice. I did a grayscale, large scale octopus mural and I used yellow white mixture and it blended like a dream. I am working my way through your videos and they have all been excellent!

Thank you for the video. Also, @1:00 it brings to mind the few times I accidentally drink from my washing water. (Because I use an old large size coffee mug.) Haha

[@toon-nagtegaal]
