Color Mixing Tutorial: True Primaries
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 бер 2016
- When starting out with a limited palette of colors, it is important to choose the correct primaries (red, blue and yellow) for the best results in color mixing. This video shows a demonstration of the colors I recommend, and why.
Traditional Primary Colors: Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cobalt Blue.
"True" Primary Colors: Quinacridone Magenta, Cadmium Lemon, Cobalt Teal.

Wow!!! Yesterday I was frustrated by mixing cadmium red and cadmium blue (also tried with phthalo blue and ultramarine blue) to make violet. It turned out dull violet and I was so disappointed and gave up not knowing the reason. Now i got the solution from you and will try again! Big big big thanks to you. You are amazing teacher!!! 👍🌷❤️
This video with your 'Demonstration' should be included with every beginner oil painting kit.! TY sooo very much!
Wow, thank you for that nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
I wish my art college told me this! So many years later I discover this video... Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks so much for clearing up the 3 CMYK primaries needed to mix. I was SO frustrated mixing the 3 colours on the left and always getting different types of mud.
Off to the paint store to get those 3 colours.
Glad the video helped you! Thanks for watching and for commenting. :)
Both systems have advantages and disadvantages.
Oh my goodness Jason, what a revelation, thank you so much! Love your wonderful paintings, very inspiring, thanks for giving your knowledge to us! Nicely produced too.

I actually learn this myself by looking at our printers ink cointainer. It has 4 containers (magenta,cyan,yellow & black)
Yes! Color printing works on the same pricnciple. Thanks for watching! :)
one of the best videos I have watched about color mixing. No one had every said to start with magenta, lemon yellow and teal. Thanks,!

@@walcottfineart5088 thank you, and keep going 🙂
Good video! Thank you. It reminds me of an experiment I was demonstrating to my undergraduates (colour wheel, how and why we perceive colours etc) 🙂
Love your instructions makes a lot of sense and clears up misconceptions for me. 😎😎
Great to hear! Thanks for watching :)
You really know your stuff! You did a wonderful job explaining the CYMK colors!
Thanks so much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Thank you, Jason. This is a very clear presentation of why we get muddy colors with those primaries.
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching :)
Omg This Helped me So Much” this is honestly a advanced step up. At least for me because I’ve recently been amply more “color” in to my works Thank you❤
Thank-you so much for this video. I was so frustrated with my traditional primary colours making unsatisfactory secondaries, especially a really dull violet. as you showed. Now I know it wasn't my fault. I plan to purchase the three you recommend.
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. :)
Brilliant demonstration! Thank you so much. I'm just starting in oils, and I tried mixing paints with the true primaries, and the results were slightly disappointing. These colors you suggested are so much brighter. Going to go buy some new tubes now!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching :)
I liked the way you teach! Brilliant job, thank you for sharing your lessons!
Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Hi Jason, I just discovered your videos and I'm a definite fan! They are so helpful and full of great advice, thanks for sharing your expertise and experience with the rest of us
Thanks so much for watching and for the nice comment! I'm glad you have been enjoying the videos. :)
That was the best explanation for the use of a primary red and what the true primaries I should have been using.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching. :)
Sir you make maxing color so much fun. I could never have imagined that I could make red by mixing different colors. I really really enjoy watching your tutorials. Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. :)
Most valuable information. Big thanks. Blessings
Man, you are such a good teacher! I really appreciate it.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the nice comment and for watching :)
Excellent tutorial...actually worth watching!
I"m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
I think you have just saved me a lot of money. I'm about to switch brands and seeing your video got me trying mixing colours I would have bought. Now I don't need to. I will be buying just the three plus Burnt Umber and Titanium White. Thank you.
I'm glad the video helped you! I would say be careful not to limit yourself too much. As an actual working palette I would recommend the split primary palette. It's a little more versatile but still uncomplicated. Thanks for watching!
Correct! Brilliant video.
just stumbled on your videos. great work. I love your style of teaching. Very good information.
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. :)
I’ve been working on a colour mixing journal. I will add these as well. Thank you for this information. 🇨🇦👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Great easy to understand lessons! Glad I found you. Thanks so much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this :) Thanks for watching!
Yes! I had major problems trying to achieve purples. I tried cerulean blue and deep magenta (cos they're as near to yours as I've got) and they make wonderful shades of purple! Thank you! Yours is a great channel! I really need to understand these colour combinations.
I'm so glad you found the video useful! Thanks for watching :)
You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching :)
😮wow very eye opening and answers a lot of my mud mixing issues
I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you so much. I learned a lot from you. You are a great master.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and for the nice comment :)
Wow! I had no idea! Thank,you so much. I have a matching blue and an alazaein Crimson, which will,have to do in place of the magenta, but I should be able to get such a better purple now. I was painting this past week and couldn't figure out why my purples were so dull no matter what I seemingly did to them
To mix a clean purple you have to chose a red that carry a strong color bias of blue and doesn't carry any yellow. Yellow compliments purple and when they mix they desaturate each other
You are great ! I’ve learnt so much from you ! Thanks !

@@walcottfineart5088 =) I saw your vid about PR122--- is there a certain pigment I should look for with the Cobalt Teal and Cadmium Lemon? I'm probably making this more complicated than it should be--- but I am curious! I am just starting and learning a lot from your videos!
Thank you for sharing this information. Love the videos.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos.

Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed watching my video. :)
Great lesson on "warm" and "cool" colors. I watched another Artist give a lesson on which colors to buy and Brand. Windsor-newtown has it's most popular Student Grade. Caiming that they make Muddy Colors. This is true of every paint, because some colors like Phthalo Blue leans to the "Green" side of the "Color Wheel" While French Ultra Marin Blue leans toward the red side of the Color Wheel...
Thanks for watching! Sometimes the fillers they use in student grade paints can cause the color mixes to be less bright than a higher grade paint. But yes, you are definitely right that "muddiness" is typically a temperature problem.
Omg - I found you today. Your videos are amazing. You are soooo knowledgeable and explain everything in such a clear way! Thank you! Please keep posting videos. I am learning how to paint animals; I started painting last year so I’m not that good but any animal tutorials would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Jason you are an incredible artist and educator! I love your UA-cam channel. I’ve looked at 20-30 art education programs, UA-cams, websites, books, and yours is the best! I’m so impressed and I love all the history and chemistry you know about painting!

@@walcottfineart5088 :)
After 30 years of painting in oil I never knew this but seeing is believing...Thanks:)
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found this useful.
great video mate! keep spreading the good word
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks for the great info, it's not often anyone shares such knowledge with others. It gets so tiring, telling others of this, because so many have been misinformed and refuse to believe you, even in their repeated frustration in attempting to get a correct result with incorrect materials.
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. :)
@@walcottfineart5088 You're welcome, and thank you as well.
glad to see that your views are growing, great tutorial
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found the video useful.
Excellent video. I've been trying to make this point in my classes from the beginning and many students (especially fine art majors) will not accept the facts that you have presented so well. I also like to point out that the Isaac Newton color wheel is a little less useful than a more digitally correct wheel which places red, green and blue as secondary colors.... so the wheel works both for subtractive and additive color theory. This also makes the mixing of complimentary colors result in a more neutral gray.
Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for that clarification. Funnily, as a newbie I got those three primaries on the left and yes got so frustrated that I was not getting the secondary colors I was expecting.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching :)
Fantastic Channel
Thank you so much for making this video!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching. :)
1000 likes! I’m slightly colour blind and as a beginner painter I’m always on the lookout for ways to better understand colour theory. This is a revelation :)
Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Fantastic!
I just learned more about color mixing from you in 8 minutes than I have in a whole semester of color theory with a renowned artist/professor 😀
Can't wait to see more!
Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)

wow dude thanks i learned something extremely valuable!!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)
You'll notice that on some color printer cartridges, the primaries shown in the package are the Teal, Magenta and Yellow. Makes sense now.
Yes, it's based on the four-color offset CMYK printing process. :) Thanks for watching!
Really clearly explained! I sort of knew already, but wanted to see your way of explaining! The problem with the cobalt teal, though is the different makes of paint! I have cobalt teal by Michael Harding and it's a much stronger turquoise than Gamblin. I wonder if it's better to refer to it as Cyan blue? I now need to order Gamblin cobalt teal! Also my magenta which is by blocx is much more of purple, so I find I have some problems with that too!!! Lots of experimenting to do, I think! Thank you Karen
Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
thank you really insightful. great teacher 👍👍👍👍
