EXCELLENT clear information. Very entertaining to watch!!! Please...MORE!!! I love your style. ..could binge watch you ALL day!! Great teacher. Thanks much. Lauri
Dan... I had a go at painting using your techniques... acrylic underpainting with oil finish...using a lot of transparent color. I'm such a novice that the end result wasn't great, but I can see the potential in the difference.. I just watched this video AGAIN and understand some of the mistakes I made in mixing transparent colors. These basics are hard to learn by trial and error.. (And thank you for such a personal response!) Don't ever take these video's down... A bit more sinks in with every viewing.
Hey Dan, i love your videos but i was a bit confused with your explanation. You said you'd need a cool-red and cool-blue to get a vibrant purple, but in my experience you need a cool-red paired with a warm-blue to achieve the most saturated purple. im certain that you simply misspoke but i wanted to clear that up if there was any confusion. Also when describing the green you said a warm yellow and warm blue is used but this can be a bit confusing to a newer painter because yellow and red are both warm pigments that are present in blue, so it can be unclear which is the warmer choice. I found it a bit easier to think of the colours as yellow (orange-yellow and green-yellow), blue (green-blue and red-blue) and red (orange-red and blue-red), then when you go to mix a vibrant green you take the green-yellow and green-blue colours and combine those. when mixing more muted colours you deliberately go against this, mixing an orange-yellow with a green-blue and because the orange is complimentary to the blue it neutralizes it and pushes it closer to grey. thanks again for the awesome videos
Thanks for an insightful and information packed video, Dan. I really enjoyed it and definitely got something to expand my horizon on the subject. Here's to hoping you make more videos in the future. Cheers.
wow hello Dan i cant believe it i thought i found all the good painters on u tube i was wrong...just subscribed ...Thank s for shairing you art and skill.
So is your limited palet without cadmium : Indian yellow- cad yellow light hue, permanent rose- scarlet Lake, Ultramarine blue deep- phtalo blue ( greenish) ?
Mixing 3:30 - 3:40 No, not red (more red-orange) and no not yellow (more yellow-red) How does one distinguish between a "warm" or "cool" red/yellow/blue colors?

Thank you so much! Working on new videos now.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I also notice that you have a daylight lamp. Can you recommend it, because your lighting is very good.
Linda Seguin Definitely! 6500 Kelvin is the color you want. .. I'm kinda proud of myself for FINALLY memorizing that number!!

Thanks, Eric. Hope you enjoy them!
Great - learning so so much from you - thankyou
i am glad I found you too! yay. thank you!
such a great video. a quick question-what are the three transparent colors you used on the right? cheers.
John Lemyre, Jr sorry I missed this earlier! The the Colors are magenta, yellow, and cyan. (close to phthalo.)
A long way to show that there is warm and cool, reddish and bluish shades and it makes a huge difference
if your working on a painting over a long time period and your building up the paint layers how do you stop the paint from becoming muddy .
And yes playing is the key to anything
really good video
That was great. Thank you!

You got it. Lis-- SORRY I'm missed your comments Til now!
Mixing 3:30 - 3:40 No, not red (more red-orange) and no not yellow (more yellow-red)
How does one distinguish between a "warm" or "cool" red/yellow/blue colors?
I've noticed that this and your other color palette video consist of hues and non-toxic colors which is awesome. Is that just coincidence?
Not at all! Very intentional. Thanks for noticing. Sorry I missed your comment until now!
Fake theory
Ha! Lol
