Hello Eric My name is Brian and I am listening from the U.K. and I found this channel is full use full information. Keep up the good work Kind regards Brian

[@PrincessAloeVera]

thalo green plus quinacradone rose (or permanent rose or thalo rose) equals chromatic black. You can make it with these 2 transparent colors! and also then you can lean it towards the red or the green (warmer or cooler) or keep it neutral. test it with white to check the temperature when making it. I might try using the warmer mix for the foreground, a neutral mix for the midground, and the cooler mix for the distant ground and do a tonal like that. This was a great demo by the way. I LOVE BILL! I think he is married but if he is not then I am available! lol. Anyway.. I have not used the chromatic black yet but I did learn a while ago about it, and was shown that it is not a single pigment, it is in fact thalo green plus quinacrodone rose (or thalo or permanent rose)

[@markwalker8351]

Thalo green (yellow shade) pg36 pigment. I bought these 2 paints in acrylic but haven't tried it yet.

[@40bdg]

I had to come back and let you know I tried this method and it worked so well! Thisis now my new way of painting! Thank you so much Bill, for sharing this excellent method. Such a time saver and the resulting colors are the tones I love.

[@robertmeyer8535]

I just discovered you on Friday. Wow,

[@billhawthorne2840]

Bill Hawthorne from Mo. I would imagin paynes grey with a touch of red could balance out the coolness. Eric this guys showing us some really good tips.

[@pleinaire8698]

EXCELLENT advice about mixing the values to start with! ..My painting buddie used to start this way..she was a painting major in college.!

[@carolmoynihan2050]

Super video Bravo Bill Davidson

[@catherinedennis8034]

Painting just got easier with this value method. Thanks

[@ronanthem]

Per Gamblin website- Chromatic Black is PV19 (Quinacradone Red) and PG36 (Pthalo Emerald) for those wish to mix their own to test it out. While many colors mixed can make chromatic black, I had never considered the transparent aspect until this video. Bill Davidson is a gem. Super helpful!

[@Merletth]

Thanks for this info. Very helpful

[@sherryboychuk7408]

wow Amazing love this painting and Ive learnt more in this video than the last 10 thankyou from Saskatchewan

[@reachelmayeur3447]

Hello from New Orleans. Love these teaching moments. Everyone has their own methods that gets us to a final beautiful product. Thank you so much for sharing. These videos will be my recovery from upcoming surgery. I'll be a better artist at the end of recovery!

[@jamespacheco825]

It has been noted that some artists choose to mix chromatic blacks for the very darkest values in their painting (for example, Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna, or Viridian and Quinacridone Magenta make a deep, near-black), instead of using tubed black paints. I have not tested this approach with acrylic or watercolor paints.

[@mitziundesser9241]

AWESOME

[@judysmith1964]

Love. Bill’s painting system. It has made difference in my painting. I have one of his videos. I watch it often. Love from Batesville, MS.

[@thth1167]

Wow breakthu for me, thanks

[@elaineskjerven8383]

[@lisalindberg9980]

Excellent!! Learned so much!

[@nickcameron6583]

Wow Bill, This is a"Game Changer"👍🎨

[@jillhoward4271]

Watching from South Africa, and learning so much. Thank you - you explain so well

[@brianrichardson1192]

I gotta try this as it seems a great idea. Thank you for the video of Bills *Mixing Perfect Colour"" It's great.

[@SmartMeditationFilms]

Thank you!

[@pedroden6561]

I love Bills videos….just missed this so replaying ….he’s great at sharing…..Thx Bill…..When r u doing a soar workshop again????

[@DorisGlovier]

Thanks for using the vertical palette. So helpful to see it as you work.

[@markwalker8351]

Definitely a "game changer" method. For the viewer who commented that Cobra doesn't have a Chromatic Black ..... both W&N Artisan and Daniel Smith have the 2 transparent ingredients to mix it in water soluble oils. PV 19 + PG36. Quinacridone Red (Permanent Rose), etc. + Pthalo Green YS (sometimes Emerald Green). Perfect compliments according to Gamblin. Try it 1:1 first then adjust. When you find the neutral mix ratio then fill some empty tubes.

[@lyndylulu2]

Wonderful tip to use my chromatic black for the base of color mixing!

[@artplussk_222]

I recently made a painting with some grey values in each color, i felt the result more satisfying n pleasing. Thank you so much for detail info. I would be happy if i could send its photo for your valuable and kind suggestions, feefback.

[@lisecardinal3879]

Hi from Ontario Sudbury 🤩

[@judyheim6998]

I like big brushes and I cannot lie🎶

[@raindog2262]

Ha ha ha for a hot second I too thought he was going there!

[@ANAHATAJADE]

I like the way he teaches how to set up his pallet for values. I waste a lot of time trying to get the values correct. Bill's set up of values make a lot of sense and saves time. Thank you!

[@belindahall5220]

Another idea for those of us who use WMO paints... a traditional oil can be added to a WMO, such as Titanium white, and colors, as long as the ratio is kept at 1:4 So 1 part Gamblin chromatic black to 3 parts Titanium white and/or colors. In addition, Cobra makes an additive which will modify the traditional oil paimts to make it Water Mixable Oil for faster clean up!

[@PrincessAloeVera]

YAY BILL! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

What a great lesson! Can’t wait to get painting. Looks like tonal value painting is a way to go. The first art class I ever took started us off that way. Wish I could have remembered this.

[@shavarosman5265]

Hello from Toronto

[@jjohansen2231]

I will try this method. I struggle with value and temp. I’ve been painting for 3 years now. I practice every day I still don’t have it right. I threw away so many bad panels with nonsense. I have Eric’s paint by note. Just going to practice this method everyday from here on out.

[@ryanoconnor7957]

you need to get more of a feedback loop happening. so once you've blocked in the main value shapes take a photo and compare it with your digital photo reference. swap back and forwards between them on the computer or put them closely side-by-side and see where you have differences. convert them to perceptual greyscale and compare them. I put them on separate layers and fade the layers between each other on photopea.com

[@wicker1234]

In a way this is like a one step Grisaille but, instead of a first layer of monotone values then a second layer of coloured glazing, this is done by mixing the toned values with the required hue then applied in one go. Excellent info.

[@lorenzo1com]

Great advice! Thank you.
