Thank you for this, some very helpful points made, and just a delightful voice to listen to! The lack of purple is a little sad because it’s my new favorite hue for super dark tones, but then I realized, its also good to know how to darken a shadow without it turning purple.
Thank you so much for making this lovely overview! I was very lucky and was gifted a bucket of ultramarine and of yellow ochre pigment powder, and I really wanted to know what greens I'll be able to mix with it.
I think yellow ochre has the most rich, saturated pigment of all the natural yellows, more than raw sienna and yellow oxide, and you can always tone down or desaturate a color, but you can’t tone it up or add saturation without changing the hue or temp, so that’s sort of been my reason for sticking with yellow ochre. I’m sure she has a better answer though.
It depends which way your yellow and blue 'lean'. For example, Cad Yellow and Ultramarine Blue both lean towards the red, which is the complimentary (opposite) to green and so will always desaturate any green. The above triad are great for subtle colours, but to mix any colour, including vibrant ones, you need Process Yellow (or Chrome Yellow or Lemon Yellow), Magenta and Cyan, as these 3 have no leaning bias..
they have given us many years ago just 6 tempra colors at school ... but I don´t know why did they doing this. the choice of colors wasn´t very useful for us, because no purple, no pinks mixing was possible with these. they teatching us the wrong colortheorie by itten O.o but I think this choice was inspired by the old masters , or they think that´s the best to learn color mixing ... but they have said, don´t use any pure color without mixing directly from the pan. don´t use white, don´t use black . we kids wanted to mixing pinks and purples or violetts ... but nothing from this was possible by mixing these horrible colors. we had get : white, yellow, toxic looking yellowish green, red, blue, black.... and no cyan, no ultramarine, no magenta... :( that wasn´t funny for us. now I learn a lot about colormixing if I use the right colors, also all this what the old masters have used for there awesome art work´s.

Very good advice . Good to know how to make many colors with just a few tubes of paint 🎨👍
Thanks Monica, hopefully I’ll have some time to make more of these soon! Keep playing with those colour though!
Its a fantastic pallet
Amazing video! I hope you make more of these
Yep, that's me , save it for the big day when I'm better at it. Glad to hear you suffer the same guilt pangs.
So sorry school is catching up with me a lot I hope to be able to watch one of ur live streams soon
I assume she is using white as well

Great video! What if I substitute yellow ochre for naples yellow deep?

My yellow and blue (Dark, like ultramarine but a little more violet) turns into a Muddy color, not a green, I'll try some cyan or buy a green pigment.

don´t use white, don´t use black .

but nothing from this was possible by mixing these horrible colors.
we had get : white, yellow, toxic looking yellowish green, red, blue, black....
and no cyan, no ultramarine, no magenta... :(
that wasn´t funny for us.
