Thank you. I kept wondering why my skin tones were looking so dull -- I was only adding white to get highlight areas instead of white WITH the next color up toward yellow. I can't wait to try it out!
Vera Campbell just remember if you want high vibrancy (intense color) just mix with the highest value/chroma paints that are closest to your target color to start with. We don’t want you to be discouraged when you can’t mix those vibrant purples (violets) and greens. May I suggest that you look at their “split primary” color mixing system for a more advanced mixing education?
A valuable lesson for me on creating highlights which go towards the yellow. I've already started implementing it since watching the video a couple of days ago. Thank you so much!
@@PaintBasket is it possible for you to show us how to get more colors besides the primary, secondary colors, highlights and darker tones. For example.g tertiary colors and some more.....
@@pureintentions7 it sounds like you are looking for a class like this: onlineartlessons.com/class/colour-wheel-in-acrylic/ After this lesson you will be able to mix any colour you need.
Great explanation easy to understand. So you dont use black or grey to darken a color use the opposite colo? N no difference then highlight a color use closest to yellow to your base color?
This is a great video. I still have trouble grasping the difference between tonal value and hue. To me, it seems that brightening the hue achieves the same thing as increasing the tonal value. I know that hue is the actual color. Is value the intensity of the color?
Hue is the colour and tonal value is how light or dark the colour is, so they kind of work together as you adjust the colour, it's tonal value may change as well. For tonal value, think of what level of grey the colour would be if you converted it to greyscale (black and white)
always the opposite colour on the colour wheel. Mixing red and blue give purple, so the opposite is yellow. If you have more red in the mix giving you maroon then the opposite is yellow/green so I would add a light green in to darken it
yes, but you do need to play around with the ratio. The ratio I mention in the video is just a ball park. The actual ratio will depend on when paints you are using :)
Just found your vids, good stuff! Many months ago, in your How to Paint Portraits video, a gent named Jim asked you to make a video about using the baking paper to transfer the drawing to the canvas; am I just not seeing it, or have you not made it? Thanks for your time and experience!
I have not created the vid yet. I don't use the baking paper to transfer the drawing to the canvas, I transfer the drawing lines to a sheet of baking paper. I then line this up to the drawing lines on the canvas. That way I can check that the facial features have not "drifted" as I paint. (As you paint over the initial lines it is easy to get warping of the features, eg. the eyes as you cannot see your lines anymore. The baking paper is transparent so allows you to overlay your lines again to check your accuracy)
it sounds like you do not have a primary red, but rather one which has been mixed from magenta and yellow. That will give you a brown red because of the yellow in the mix. Primary reds that will give good purples are cadmium red, alizarin crimson and magenta.
years of art classes and even a painting class in college, and this is the first I heard of this technique! Thanks! Big help!
It's crazy that they don't teach this, but at least you know it now :)

let me know how it goes

Thank you so much ! I learned a lot as a new painter. It may seem simple to someone who studied it but not to rest of us. Have to start somewhere
You are so welcome!
Fine short demonstration of how to make colour mixture in a natural way
Short but clear! Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
The best color theory ever. Thank you
Yay :)
Thank you ! You made it sound so easy. This is going to help me so much in my painting.
it is easy once you memorise these rules :)

Richie Journey thank you.
Richie Journey I went and signed up for the free course. I'm loving it. Thank you.
I really learned a lot from this video. Thanks so much

I have no doubt it will help you a lot with your colour mixing :)
I really learned a lot from this video! Thanks for posting.
you're welcome :)
Thank you so much for throwing light into the darkness of 3d effect.
You're welcome. Knowing these rules made a huge difference to my colour mixing so the info needed to be shared :)

This is very informative - thank you !
Really excellent presentation, thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant tutorial.
Thank you! I am glad it helped you :)
great lesson! It is very valuable, thanks lot :-))
useful one! can you show this similar tutorial in exercise as in practical ? the above info is like a theory using our imaginative minds.
here you go : ua-cam.com/video/QOL2LjPqUaQ/v-deo.html
Excellent video !
Nice presentation !!!
Thanks a lot
Excellent, Thankyou.!
Glad it was helpful!
A very interesting and informative tutorial , I learnt so uch from this , many many thanks.

moltes gràcies per aquesta tan clara explicació!
Amazing! Thank you so much!
I am glad the class helped you Mazin :)
Great video! So for shadow for maroon ball, mix base color ( red and blue) with green?
always the opposite colour on the colour wheel. Mixing red and blue give purple, so the opposite is yellow. If you have more red in the mix giving you maroon then the opposite is yellow/green so I would add a light green in to darken it
Black be made by using all the three primary colour
yes, but you do need to play around with the ratio. The ratio I mention in the video is just a ball park. The actual ratio will depend on when paints you are using :)
i swear he's a genius !
I wish

Superb explanation 👏👏👏👏
thank you
Nicely done!
thank you Melanie :)
HNMM CAN SOMEONE TELL ME... ULTRAMARINE BLUE + ULTRAMARINE RED = NO PURPLE BUT DARK BROWNIE RED!
WHY?? YES I USED EQUAL AMMOUNT OF EACH.
🤔🤔🤔🤔

@@PaintBasket oh thank you! Ill try again!
is this video serious ??!!!!
?
prasaya prasaya would you prefer the triad “primary” set of CYM instead of RYB which is the same theory just another set of “triadic primaries”?
