How to Mix Green: A Complete Guide for Artists

(Chapters are below) In this video, I’ll show you how to mix vivid greens, natural greens, and how to neutralize green to create blacks and grays. You’ll learn how to mix light green permanent, sap green, Hooker's green, as well as tips for dulling greens using complementary colors like red and orange.
👉 Bonus: I also demonstrate a surprising way to mix dark blue from green and purple, along with how to mix cobalt teal.
This tutorial covers everything from vivid greens to muted tones, using pigments like phthalo green, ultramarine blue, and more. Check out my color theory playlist for more in-depth tips and subscribe for future tutorials.
