I was like, "I'm never gonna find a vid on how to mix teal".
That's great! I'm glad my video was useful to you. Thanks for watching! :)
So happy to see another video! Always helpful and informative. Hope all is going well!
Thanks for watching! I am well. :) Great to hear from you too! How's the painting going?
After spending all morning to mix colors to get a nice Caribbean water color, not getting the result I wanted, I decided to look online and found your video! THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the upload. I have wasted so much time trying to mix this color. Look forward to more videos on color mixing
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! :)
EXCELLENT tutorial, never have been disappointed with your tutorials, thank you master Jason
Always feel happy to watch your new video,thanks!
You surely mixed a beautiful color! I thank you so much for this very informative video! I learned much about why mixing several pigments can dull the color.
I'm still practicing on improving my color mixing skills so this was really helpful. Thanks so much
using a limited palette would greatly improve your mixing ability... it also help you identified the color that you uses the most which help to expand your palette in the future.
Great video. Glad you're back.
So grateful to learn so much from you, thank you for your videos!

Thank you thank you thank you! I was surprised you came out with the video so quickly after I asked! You are beyond awesome! I am learning so much from you! Keep up the good work! I'm just getting back into painting after a about a 25yr hiatus so your videos have been extremely helpful in my journey. 😁👍😍
Your videos are so informative - great job! Please keep it up!!
Thanks so much for the nice comment and for watching! :)
So, do you sometimes use the mixed versions and then finish with the pure pigments?
Excellent video like always ❤️
I burst out laughing because I use the Magenta-Yellow-Cyan color theory. Thanks for the truth!
Great! Yeah those are actually the true primaries. Thanks for watching! :)
So glad I subscribed to your channel. Fantastic as always.
Thanks so much for the nice comment and for watching!

Very interesting. Thank You for your work
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
what colors do you mix for morning fog
VERY, VERY INTERESTING! Thank you!
Hey there you are again. Thanks for heads up on true cyan many moons ago. I finally obtained a unit. A mix of approximation to "turquoise" for me was/is phthalo green bs, with phthato blue gs and a little white. I save the true cyan for purposed applications due to cost. Thanks again, cheers.
Yes! That mixture is exactly what I used here to make the mixed version :) Thanks for watching!
I had trouble mixing a nice Robin's egg blue, a soft light warm turquoise, and after buying lots of convenience colors and failing to get what I wanted, I realized I had the basics for it all along in the old standard colors on hand...I mix a dab of pthalo blue into a good deal of titanium white and then a smidge of burnt sienna. Makes such a lovely warm light turquoise!
Thanks for watching and for the color mixing tip! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
You have been missed! Welcome back buddy
Thanks! Helpful info!!
Thanks for watching! :)
Would this cobalt like the manganese original?
Your insights are fantastic!
I learn a lot.
Thanks for watching! Actually the original genuine Manganese Blue was the closest pigment to a true mixing cyan. It wasn't quite as green as the Cobalt Teal. But the difference is slight and the teal works well for mixtures too.
Great! thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks Jason!

Yur video really happened me. Thank you. God bless
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Hi Jason,
Many thanks for this informative video as well the other video about 'True Primaries'. I completely agree that a bright turquoise color is impossible to mix.
However, Cobalt Teal seems to be expensive pigment (Series 6) with fair tinting strength. I found another alternative "Pthalo Turquoise"(PB16) which is really useful and single pigment color with greenish undertone and extremely strong tinting strength. I found that color really useful for seascapes as Cobalt pigments are prohibitively expensive in our country.
Note: I prefer Sennelier as it offers single pigment Pthalo turquoise but Winsor & Newton's 'Pthalo turquoise' is actually a mix of PB 15 and PG7, which isn't as bright as PB16 or PB28.
Hope this helps.
Great info! Yes, I am aware of the Phthalo Turquoise pigment and it would make a great alternative to Cobalt Teal that is more cost effective. The only drawback is since the phthalos are so transparent they come out of the tube very very dark. You need to add white to lighten them which automatically means you lose some saturation, so it won't be quite as bright as the single pigment Cobalt Teal. But it's close :) Thanks for watching!
Wow.. What a timing.. I was about to paint something in torquois
Perfect! I'm glad you found the video useful. :)
Hi sir . Can you please share the of cobalt teal if possible. Thank you very much
I'm not sure what you are asking here? The Cobalt Teal I used in the video was Gamblin. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching :)
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
NICE thats why some landscape artist use Cobalt Teal in there palettes
Thanks for the info
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! :)
Turquoise and Magenta.. both color that I try to mix, but I never achieve a true saturated version.. guess I'm adding those color into my palette... but I'm not to sure if I'm ready to give up my Manganese Blue Hue for Cobalt Turquoise...
Yes, you can't mix them because those are the true actual primaries. I would certainly keep both blues on my palette if you need them. Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you what do you think of acrylic paint?
Thanks for watching! Personally I don't care for acrylics, but that's just my own opinion. They are just different from oils. Some artists love them so it's really up to you to decide which you prefer. :)
This is the first time I hear this. Even other artists call that dark blue primary. Which is why it confused me when I got my Cobra oil paint primary pack, which came with primacy cyan and primary magenta. I thought it was wrong and had to learn the hard way. Sp thank you so, so much for saying this. More should.
I'm glad you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching :)
I like using pthalo turquoise, plus cad yellow (to taste)
Thanks for watching and for the comment! :)
Have you ever used Van Gogh(Talens) Turquoise Blue? Is it a good colour to substitute phthalo Blue in a split primary palette? I always had the idea that Turquoise will do a better job. Please let me know your opinion.
The Van Gogh turquoise is a mixture of Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Green and white, so you are going to get somewhat dullish mixtures from it. If it were me, I'd stick with plain Phthalo Blue, preferably the green shade. Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 I think there is another such color offered by van gogh, it's called Phthalo Turquoise Blue 565. Which is again a mixture of Phthalo blue and Phthalo green, again not a pure pigment. Do you think it would still be better to choose this color over Pure Phthalo Blue or Cerulean Blue(Phthalo blue + white) or Serves Blue(Phthalo blue + white). I am again asking this in the context of split primary palette. Thanks a lot for your reply!
@@atulmohite5157 For any palette of colors I would always recommend using single pigment colors when possible. In the case of split primary I feel like the plain Phthalo Blue would still be best. It tends to lean towards green anyway so a touch of yellow would kick it into the turquoise range. I would also avoid any mixed pigment that has white in it. Phthalo Blue has a wonderful transparency to it that can be very useful. You don't want to kill that right out of the gate and white is always opaque.
@@walcottfineart5088 Thanks a lot Jason!
thank you so much
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Blue ridge oil paint makes a fantastic cobalt teal also! I have the big gamblin tube as well but they are VERY similar. Blue ridge might be a LITTLE thicker, richer...but its also a little more expensive (gamblin $38 for 150ml, blue ridge $58 for 150ml) I love both tho. Great video as always!
Yes both colors are great! I do find it tends to stiffen in the tubea lot over a few months, so I usually buy the small tubes as I don't use it all the time. Thanks for watching!
I tried this and the colour turned out to be pretty decent.
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
When you mean turquoise, do you mean a turquoise blue, aka cyan (PB16 or PB28 (Teal) ) or Turquoise/Teal (PG7, PG50 (BS), PG50 (Teal)
Also, do you suggest PV15 (BS) (Winsor and Newton , Rembrandt) or PB60, (All brands)
Vijdaan Siddiqui PV15? That's ultimate violet...
Do you mean PB15 phtalo blue?
Daniel Smith Turquois from their mineral line is a single pigment color made from actual turquois stone, is even more saturated, and is a higher quality paint than Gamblin.
Yes, I have tried that Daniel Smith turquoise. It isn't quite as strong & saturated as the Gamblin color. Cobalt Teal is a single pigment (PB28) made by several manufacturers. Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 you tried the daniel smith prima tek sleeping beauty turquois oil paint? The one made from actual turquois? I mean ya cobalt teal is a strong pigment but nothing is more turquois than actual turquois.
@@acaciarogersart Yes, I have tried the actual PrimaTek color from Daniel Smith. Even though it's made from genuine turquoise the color is not as saturated and bright as the Cobalt Teal pigment. Since it's a natural rock it has a more muted tone to it. It's a beautiful color, but I'm not sure it would be right for the cyan primary on the color wheel. Thanks for the comment!
1:35 my mind exploded...
LOL Thanks for watching! :)
good...
How to Mixologist Blue from Teal?
Thanks for watching! :)
Old holland Caribbean blue and old holland perm green light is a bright turquoise
Questions after watching this video.
I believe that both phthalo green and phthalo blue come in a red OR a green shade. Are yours both green shade? The red shade could dull the color mixture. What if you added a cold yellow, maybe a and then the white. That may give the mixture a more turquoise color and in addition, you may not need as much white. Less white will allow the colors to stay more saturated. Or what about just the phthalo blue, a cold, maybe lemon yellow, then the white? What do you think? This is kind of like being a scientist! Fun! Thanks.
Thanks for watching! My Phthalo Blue is greenish and my Phthalo Green is bluish so that helps. Adding tiny amounts of the cool yellow to Phthalo Blue will nudge it towards Turquoise, but it will still be quite dark. You would have to add white to bring it up to a mid value. Once you do that, it will never be as bright and saturated as the Cobalt Teal single pigment. But you can get all kinds of shades in between by playing around with it! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 I have just discovered you and your very educational videos. Your information is very valuable as well as presented in a way that is understandable! My thanks to you.
@@bellavita2005 Thanks for the nice comment and enjoy! :)
I like your channel
Thanks for watching! :)
I get what you're saying however turquoise is a mixture of blue and yellow at its base sooo... Just because you can add red to make
Cobalt blue doesn't mean that turquoise is a primary color. Also aqua teal and turquoise are all pretty different colors. It's essentially a green and green is not a primary color? I think you're just blowing my mind right now if you can recommend somewhere I can read more information on this I would appreciate that greatly 😂 that's an interesting concept you have here.
Thanks for watching! There are no really perfect primaries in pigment mixing, but turquoise as I'm using the term here is closer to a true "cyan" (which is the primary) than a blue like Cobalt is. This is what the "C" refers to in CMYK four color off-set printing. The Cyan ink used in printing is a greenish shade of Phthalo Blue, but they lighten it by using the more diffuse dot pattern. Mixing paint with white has a different optical effect. As I showed in the video you can sort of mix a turquoise, but it won't be as bright and clean as a single pigment color like Cobalt Teal. There are lots of videos on UA-cam about this, just search on color theory or true primary colors. :)
👍👍❤
how can you make turquoise?
As I said in the video, you can mix Phthalo Green with Phthalo Blue and white. It won't be as saturated as an actual turquoise single pigment color like Cobalt Teal.
Please mix cyan 2 orange PS JUSTLY WITHIN MOTIVE A COLOR IS PRIME CAN'T GET MIKED? TURQUOISE IS CYAN WITH WHITE MAYHAP AS MAGENTA IS PRIMARY AS WELL ALBEIT ITS MIXED BY PURPLE PLUS RED AS REDS MAGENTA PLUS YELLOW AS CYAN IS BLUE PLUS GREEN
The mixed turquoise looks greener and duller than the cobalt teal.
Hi Jason,i sended a private email to you about Rublev oils,thanks very much !
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! :)
Noticed a small typo @ 2:22. Should be "Cobalt Teal," versus Cobal Teal.
Oops! You are correct it should be Cobalt. Thanks for catching that. Unfortunately I can't change it once the video is uploaded. Thanks for watching!
Jason, your videos are great, incidentally. Always enjoy what you have to share!
Well now you tell me....... I now have 16 , 10 oz. cups full of gawd awful pine green crap. I love turquoise. But with being in house quarantine, I can only get the paint here on hand that's here in my studio. I'm 58 years old, and thought I was loosing my eye sight when it comes to colors. I never knew that blue wasn't a primary color. I was taught that blue, yellow, and red were. I'm a full time artist. Tell me how I made it this far and never knew? Learn something new every day. But I still want to kick something. lol...
I'm glad the video was useful to you! I don't know why that idea of that shade of blue as primary persists. Thanks for watching!
In my opinion his mixed turquoise was way better than mixed ultramarine 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
N
It's a LOT expensive.
Thanks for watching!
Sorry to disagree, but cyan and magenta are not actual primaries unless you use black in the four color process. I know it's me vs every youtuber artist in this case, and everyone who owns an inkjet.
Cyan is a compromise color to make acceptable, but dull, mixes that was developed by the printing industry.
Cyan is made purposely a weak color because it is always mixed with black in the four color process. You cannot make a strong color out of a weak color. Vibrant blues exist in nature. Phtalo is a better primary, cyan is a tint of the green version.
It is not subtractive mixing that is causing the dullness, it is the cyan, which is purposefully a weak color. Cobalt is very close to a primary blue and it is vibrant. Cyan mixed with magenta is going to be duller.
That's the problem with cyan and magenta, dull mixes. You mentioned that fact in one of your limited pallet videos.
Pyrolle red is a very good neutral red and gets very good mixes with yellow.
So I would say cyan and magenta are useful, but do not consider the primaries to be written in stone.
But thanks for all your great knowledge, it's just this one issue that gets me. I've worked in publishing for a long time and had to accept the dullness of the four color process. Now I can finally use vibrant colors and I see people trending to dull ones, it's very frustrating.
Shot Down In Flames wrong....wrong...and wrong...pthao blue comes in a green bias or red..
There aren't bright blues in nature...
Shouldn't use black at all for painting...to mix colors.
