Thank you so much! I have struggled to understand warm vs cool versions of a color & you've illustrated that wonderfully.
I'm SO glad to hear that Sherrie! Colour theory is so fun and interesting, but can also be challenging to wrap your head around.
Turquoise is my favorite color as well. Thank you for showing us how to mix it. I never would have thought to try and mix the color turquoise. I am going to have to play around with this and see what I come up with.
You're so welcome. I hope you have lots of fun with it Joy. I always find that when you add the yellow and then it turns turquoise... it's like magic!!
Iris, that was SO interesting! You have a way of making so clear what others make so complicated! I hope you will do more quick tutorials like this. Thanks!
I'm so glad you found it interesting Jakki. And thank you for your wonderful feedback, I am really happy that you like my way of teaching. I am definitely planning loads more short & instructive videos! If there's anything specific you'd like me to cover please be sure to let me know!
Yay! thank you for posting this 'how to'. I belong to an online art meetup group, and we start each meetup with a warm up. Well, one session we were to make turquoise, and everyone had issues. The key was what you talked about with the difference between blues; wow. We all gave up and just use our store-bought turquoise. Now I know. Brilliant.
Ahh I'm SO glad that this was helpful and gave you some knowledge to apply to that situation after the fact!
So cool! Thanks for sharing this Iris. I'm going to give it a try. Turquoise is my favourite colour too, and a lot of my friends, we should start a turquoise club! :D
Turquoise fan club!! Glad you found the video useful, have fun mixing your favourite colour!! =)
thank you for showing how to get turquoise, i always thought (but never tried) it was done with white, blue and green. that was very helpful. i cant wait to start mixing.
You're welcome Tara! I think it can be done with white, blue and green too (I checked on my bottle of Golden paint in 'teal', and it lists "Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Green & Titanium White"). With the correct combination of those I think you'll be able to get a truer (and brighter) turquoise but it wouldn't work with just any green. With the cool blue + yellow trick it is possible to get a good result almost every time!
Oh wow that’s such a good clear demo for mixing turquoise (also my favourite colour 😉) I’m so happy to have learned something new that’ll stop me struggling in future....must mention how gorgeous your hair is looking 👍🏻xx
So glad you found it useful and that the instructions were clear! Hope you have fun with it. Oooh thanks so much about the hair! I love how low maintenance it is.
Awesome video! Especially amazing the difference between using the warm and cool blues!! BTW - you look really cute in that checked top! 😍
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful Wendy! And thank you =)
fun fun fun ! Must try this, it's like magic this turquoise color :-) thank you as always for sharing and being you
Very magical! Both in terms of what it looks like and how it is mixed. Thank you for your lovely comment Sabrina
Thank you. You enplane very well why I can't use ultramarine-blue pigment to achieve a French racing blue color on the gel-coat for my car body.
Cool!!😍
Ohhhhh the fun I will be now having creating my fav color... thank you... your vid was perfect 👌....
Yayy I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!
Brilliant! I’ll give this a go. I didn’t realise that woodys can be mixed! Turquoise is such a useful colour, thanks!
Yay, glad I showed you something new!
Great lesson. Thank you.
You're welcome Diane, glad it was helpful to you!
What fun. I’ll have to try that. 👍🥰
Hope you will! It's like magic.
Niceee tutorial. Love it
Thanks so much 😊
Really useful! Thanks so much, now I am off to try it with my neocolour 2 s! Happy new Year Iris😊
Yay, have fun!
Turquoise is my favourite colour (but least fav to spell 🤣), closely followed by yellow 💙💛
And they're so nice together too! Or turquoise and orange. Maybe the Americans have it sussed by calling it teal... much easier to spell!
I guess my blue is warm because I could only get green..... but the woodies worked perfectly. What is a good cool blue in the Amsterdam paints?
Ahh yes I imagine that was the case!! Good to know for future reference. Glad you were able to get a good result with the Woodys. The blue I used from Amsterdam acrylics was Phthalo Blue 570 (all paint names are in the video description!)
@@iris-impressions-art oh ok! Sometimes on my phone I can’t get that section to open.
Can I make teal by adding more white to turquoise or do I have to make the teal color separate
Teal and turquoise tend to be used interchangably as words to describe the same colour. If you have a paint that is labelled turquoise then you don't have to do anything else! But if you'd prefer it to be lighter, then you can simply add white.
