On the topic of John Constable and the greens of nature, celebrated English watercolourist, the late Rowland Hilder, asserted that he could mix "Constable" green - the colour of trees in high summer - by mixing Lamp Black and Cadmium Lemon Yellow. I have take this excellent advice, in watercolours, oils and acrylics, and the natural greens created this way far exceed the beauty of any green made with a blue. Other blacks, e.g. Ivory Black, Mars Black, Chroma Black, Perylene black, as well as Payne's Grey and Neutral Tint (among others), when mixed with any yellow will also give the luscious warm greens of nature that cool blues cannot replicate.
Although i probably know a fair few of these tips.. going over them is so important. I also really liked the tip about mixing colours closer together on the colour wheel to warm it up (also those colours leaning toward red- or warmth). I didn't know that entirely! Love the videos! I only just found you both.
It is always so helpful to go back and review the basics- you are bound to pick up something new every time. I like to paint the odd colour wheel to review and practice. Feel free to request videos! We are in planning phase for new content so open to suggestions :)
thank you very much. after a few vids i subbed finally :) can you explain why it is not good to mix too much pigments? i paint with a primary palette and there is no problem for me so far.
Yes of course! The reason for avoiding too many pigments is it becomes increasingly complicated when mixing. I like to think of a scientist mixing chemicals together. All of a sudden one of the beakers explodes and she can't figure out why because she has added SO many chemicals together. Same goes for the artist. One day you mix the best colour and you love it and want to be able to recreate it. But because there were so many pigments mixed in there it's almost impossible to reverse engineer. My palette is almost primary -with a couple exceptions. This is a really great palette for any painter to work with. Great question!
Here's my questions Is yellow ochre important? Should i have cadmium lemon yellow on my palette? Is phthalo green great option for achieving turquoise ? Which black should i have ivory black or mars black ? An answer is so much appreciated i just subscribed tho♥️
Yellow Ochre- I don't use it. Aisling does. So do lots of other painters. You will often find it on the palettes of portrait painters. It comes down to how many colours can you manage effectively on your palette. You can get some nice warm greens using yellow ochre for instance, but I find I can get very similar results using colours already on my palette, so I leave it off. On the other hand, I make room for Cadmium Lemon, or Cadmium Yellow light because it fills a spot on the colour wheel that regular Cadmium Yellow doesn't cover Phthalo green is a bit too green to get you a turquoise. Phthalo blue, white and a touch of lemon yellow maybe? If you really need true turquoise though, for a particular flower for instance, you might have to bite the bullet and buy a tube colour As I mentioned somewhere, I don't use black, or at least not very often. The differences between Ivory and Mars are very subtle in my opinion. I've seen Ivory black described as warm in some sources, and cool in others. You can get a nice green by mixing Ivory black with Lemon Yellow. To me, that means it is acting as a VERY dark blue - which says to me it is on the cool side. Ivory seems to have the more widespread use, probably because it is the more versatile. If you are going with one, I think I would go with Ivory.
@@ourstudioseries7490 u guys r life savers I guess I'll buy the 37ml yellow ochre for that i never had it on my palette and because i paint alot of portraits and 55ml cadmium yellow because it's essential color just like the turquoise and magenta . And I'll get the ivory since it's versatile and popular as u mentioned Thx again guys
I just love the historical tidbits and your stories 😊

Always interesting, helpful and fun. This is the second. The daughter is adorable. This is the first. 🌷
