Nice mixing sir. I believe to mix more of a neutral gray color, the colors used have to be cool AND lean cool. So burnt sienna can be mixed usually by mixing orange and blue, but the addition of some black will lean this mix more COOL. Now, mixing this mix with a cool color like ultramarine will do the trick with making neutral looking grays.
Yes with a little work you can get to a nearly neutral gray. But colored grays usually work better as they add visual interest to a painting. Thanks for watching! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 Yes, that's where I got the idea and M Graham uses the PB29 and PBr7 for their Chroma Black. I sometimes use (actually have quite a bit lately) WN paynes gray for quick go to. Not very powerful and more on the cool side.
really good content......i find these mixes really good for greys.....ultra marine blue and burnt umber, pthalo green and permanant rose and ivory black, yellow ochre and white (really nice grey/green)
Hi Jason! Awesome video as usual! Really useful! I would like to ask this: supposing one wants to use a limited palette in order to learn mixing colors and start from the really basics using only primary colors or split primary, is it possible to obtain neutral grays? Which pigments from primary colors would do? Thanks!
Thanks again for a nice comment! Yes, if you are using a split primary palette (six colors + B&W) then you can make a great neutral from Cadmium Red Light (warm red) and Ultramarine (cool blue).. Or mixing any three primaries together will give you a pretty neutral color. You can play with the proportions to make a greenish neutral, a violety neutral, etc...
If you are using the traditional color wheel and having issues with finding the neutralizing complement I would suggest you add 'blue' to the complement. This is to counteract the traditional color wheel's orange/warm color bias. Red vs Blue-Green Orange vs Blue Yellow vs Blue-Violet Green vs Red-Violet
Very true! The 12-color wheel is basically what you are referring to because it is more precise. It will definitely neutralize those warmer colors. Thanks for watching!
Walcott Fine Art Yes, this is much more simple, however I think you meant Red and Turquoise Orange Red and Cyan Orange and Blue Yellow and Violet Blue Yellow Green and Violet Green and Magenta
What I have been trying to find is if we mix Ultramarine blue and burnt sienna and you see a noticeable dark grey almost near black, my question is what two pigments can we mix will give a light grey? And what is the highest value can achieve with this mixing?
It going to be hard to mix a light gray without adding white in to the mix becuase most pigments are on the mid-range to dark side. Mixing yellow with violet will generally give a more brownish color. You could try Cobalt Teal with a little orange. and tweak is so it doesn't go too green. But if you want a very light gray you will need to add white. Thanks for watching!
Just a quick question - how do you rate schmincke oil against the Michael Harding or your other great paints ? Do they fall in the artist or the best ones ??
Thanks for watching! Schmincke Mussini would definitely be in the Premium Grade or highest level of Artist Grade paints. They are very nice, but some people might object to their odor as they contain dammar varnish. I do like them and have a few tubes. The Schmincke Norma is their artist grade line one step down from the Mussini but I have never tried those.
Yes very useful. Just painted a cat using just cadmium orange, ultramarine blue and white to make brown/greys and near black. And a brilliant cadmium orange background. Funny but there is a Walcott Street here in Bath, UK which was centre for galleries and artisans/artists..@@walcottfineart5088

Spot on with burnt sienna and ultramarine. I also use a pg7 and pv19. Thanks
Yes that's a good one too! In fact I think your pigments are what Gamblin uses to make Chromatic Black. :)

Walcott Fine Art Thank you very much!
The best neutral gray, for me... is made by ultramarine violet and yellow ochre, or nickel titanium yellow. Try it! :D
Very good😎

CMYK color wheel FTW!

Orange Red and Cyan

I would think so, yes. Color mixing like this applies to almost all liquid mediums. Thanks for watching :)

@@chesterarebest Thanks for the info! That is so cool to know that! I figured I had some French in me somewhere since I'm such a foodie LOL ;)
Can’t you use cmy secondary’s and primaries
Yes, if you are using a very limited palette you can do this.
My wife us French...so food is good!
first 😂😍🔥
Thanks for watching!
That’s because you are using the wrong opposite colors. The REAL opposite colors are Red and Cyan, Yellow and Blue, and Magenta and Green.
