How to mix Greens using Yellow and Black
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Why mix greens using yellow and black? These combinations make excellent greens for landscape painting. They are very natural and can easily be used in landscapes.
I used a variety of yellow oil paints that I have collected over the years and mixed them with Ivory Black and Lamp Black. I also used a cheap Titanium White oil paint to make lighter versions of the greens that also made lovely, natural greys.
I hope you find this 'How to mix greens using yellow and black' video useful. Please leave any questions in the 'Comments' section and I will do my best to answer them.
What is your favourite green from the colour mixing chart? Please let me know. All the best - Andrew
Like the video? Why not buy me a coffee?

Hi Andrew ... Wow! This was a great exercise ... I never thought that two different blacks could make such colorful greens ... Now I can use black instead of blue ... Inspired to start a color chart with the yellows I have and I'm going to try using Payne's grey also ...
Thank you Nancy - I think Paynes Grey and yellow will be beautiful together
Really really like this one! How fascinating. I have got to get a hang of this color mixing chart stuff. Somehow haven’t been able to grasp a good method for my understanding. Makes sense during the video. Then when I sit down…blank. So think I’ll do this w my watercolors and see what I come up with. Thanks for this video!!
Hi Jessica
Thank you for watching. Hope you can work through your colour mixing with watercolour 😃
Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing. Cheers-Greg
Thank you Greg - Cheers from Cornwall
wish ive studied painting, love how you mix with knife with such ease. thanks a lot. amazing.
Thank you. I usually mix with a brush when I’m painting. The palette knife is perfect for mixing exercises though as it’s easier to clean between mixes than a brush 👍🏻
@@AndrewBarrowmanArt thanks a lot for all youre giving us. thank you.
@@bodyhater you're welcome
Great idea, Andrew. 👍
Thanks so much Bob 👍
Nice job mate! Thanks!
No problem 👍
Very interesting!💚🖤
Thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you 😊
Mix,mix, mix! I like the mixes with Aureolin and MH Lemon Yellow and Naples Yellow those could be great for Seascapes or Winterscapes or distant Haze. I've also found that Nickel Azo Yellow mixes beautiful Greens, the same with Transp. Yellow Oxide. But anyway...great Demo👍
Sounds great! Thanks for watching and your feedback Mike
Fascinating! Soooo many wonderful greens!
Thank you Deborah. It’s amazing what you can mix
Great demo Andrew amazing colours achieved using the two different blacks
Thank you very much Keith
All gorgeous greens!
Thank you 😊
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Andrew..!!!!
Thank you Jose
Thanks Andrew, really interesting seeing all those beautiful greens/greys "happen" ☺️ I have found Lamp Black and Art Spectrum Lemon Yellow useful to get the olivey greens which are found here in NZ. I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw the stunning blue/greens in late Spring in England. Amazing! Our greens are great too though 😀 Thank you again and all the best 👍
Thank you so much Jan
It is amazing how infinite colour mixing can be
Hello Andrew, thank you for this demonstration. I'm relatively new to painting and I don't think of making greens with black. From now on I will do it because it gives beautiful results. Good week.
Hi Jacqueline
Glad it helped. Thank you for watching 😃
Interesting and very helpful!
Glad it was helpful - thanks for watching 😃
Thank you. A good exercise!
You're welcome Judith
So this is super interesting as (at least to me) quite a few of the mixes aren’t at all intuitive…like my 2 favorites with MH lemon yellow and especially WN Naples Yellow. All of these greens are considerably more sophisticated than the tube greens one tinkers with by adding oranges and purples. Yellow/black might be easier for me than yellow/blue because it seems easier to start dark and lighten as you go.
Great video! I was hoping someday you’d do one on mixing greens. Your’s are always so lovely and interesting in your landscapes. Q: are we going to see more black on your palette for your landscapes?
For Twitter folks, Andrew’s post today (14 Feb 23) has a great still of the chart you can study.
Thank you very much Lisa
I will definitely use Lamp Black more now and I really liked the Chrome Lemon
Hi Andrew. Great segment regarding greens. I will make a similar chart. Very helpful. Please could you do a segment on using mediums to mix oils. I am just getting started with oils from acrylics and don’t know what to use for mixing paint to make more fluid to paint. I am hearing Galkyd but say it’s very toxic. Also difference between mineral turpentine and turpentine or white spirit. Which linseed oil or walnut oil. Should I use stand oil? This is really holding me back from starting out with oils. Please help if you can. No pressure.
Hi Yolanda
I will do a video on that subject. That’s a great idea
If I were you I’d just use the paint neat from the tube to start with. There is already linseed oil mixed in. I’ll try and do a video asap that might help 👍🏻
Surprised by the intensity of the Lamp Black - wondering whether your Naples Yellow was the Hue colour, or the genuine article: but whatever the answer to that might be, most impressed by your range of greens with nary a blue in sight.
The lamp black really surprised me too. The Naples yellow was a hue version
What's your palette made of please...thanks for this video loved it
Thank you 🤩
It’s made of glass. It was an old mirror which had the reflective cover removed
Hello Andrew ☘️
Hi rosemary 😃
Very interesting - thanks 👍
Wondering how this works in watercolour -
Great exercise, some lovely mixes to try!
Definitely worth trying
Should work very well - without the white
Hi Andrew! Can you recommend comparable white and black acrylics for this exercise? I’d like to give it a go. Cheers!
Hi Amy
I would use whichever yellows and black you have in acrylic and see what you get
What are you mixing on please
I use a glass palette for mixing on - or sometimes a ceramic palette which is white. I like the smooth surface and it's easy to clean
Knocked me socks off
Thank you 😊
And there's a 'rule' out there to not use black but it does make some beautiful muted mixes
Don’t worry about that particular rule 😉
Look at that beautiful face on your 🎨
Thank you 😊
