How To Make Your Acrylic Paintings POP! (Bright and Saturated Colour)

[@luc1d356]

There is a simple way to make color vibrant even on dark colors , the trick is to put white paint on the places where you want your colors to be bright and when the white is dry you simply put the desired color on the top of it.

Thank you, I just started a painting and was getting frustrated that I couldn't get the vibrancy I wanted for this golden hour piece. Your a life saver man!

[@KrazyKatalina83]

Those birds turned out gorgeous!

[@cadencefarm7005]

I was just struggling last night to make yellow spashes on blue irises pop. I tried underpainting with orange and that helped but I will do it again with your technique. Thank you!

[@StudioWildlife]

[@Edward-rw3kq]

Unbelievably beautiful, that edge with the blurred background makes it so lifelike...it's so 3d......i used your blurred background for my kingfisher painting but didn't know about this video till i finished. So....... I'm going to do another and compare, thanQ for sharing your talent, you really are a fantastic artist....💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@cyberlizardcouk]

I might try using this with my watercolors as I tend to use a white opaque at times.

[@Krista1921]

Brilliant! I am going to use this technique when painting my white irises.

[@peggysterling57]

[@SiddhiOm3]

I so damn needed this. Being a self trained artist I have been struggling to get the dark objects pop out from a dark backdrop . And mixing white was simply muddying up each time . Each time I thought it’s finished all I noticed was the dark objects completely merged in the dark backdrop . Just today it struck me to check on KZbin reg the same to find an answer.. and wola! I get to see your video . The object I am painting is an old rusted lock with a dark turquoise backdrop , they just ended up looking the same . As I viewer I was finding it hard to see why the lock is merged in the backdrop . Atleast I have an answer through your video. Thank you so much 🙏

[@ruthnash8486]

The bird is very realistic feathers and all

STUNNING BEAUTIFUL THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME

[@wallybeery4058]

Would it make a significant difference if you used white gesso vs. white paint? I can't recall specifically what the issue was but I recall white acrylic paint causing issues (difficult to work with), but its possible I wasn't letting it dry completely. I heard him emphasize the drying in this vid, so maybe ill try again and make sure its dried this time. Thanks for making these videos. They're informative, easy on the ears (!😉) and a good length (not to cursory, not dragged out). Well done!

Hey Daniel! loved this video! The format was nice, and the video was short and to the point. I typically do my wildlife pieces in colored pencil and I've been thinking of going back to acrylics. Definitely going to try this tip out and see how it goes! P.S Just came back to your channel after a few months and I love the new camera work. You've stepped it up quite a bit. Keep going!

[@StudioWildlife]

Thanks for the great comment! glad you’ve noticed a difference, it takes a bit longer to film and edit this way but I’m glad you think it’s improving the quality! you definitely need to try it out and let me know how it goes!

[@deborahpacheco2799]

[@FlyOnTheMoon.]

95% of the instruction is missing, but I appreciate the ability. Regardless of he money artists have made selling their paintings, nothing is free. At the end, it all comes down to money, regardless of the painter's already established income. Because nothing is shared, does the artist's paintings sell enough for him or her to live on?

[@veronical3135]

Awesome!

[@jendavis9185]

I didn’t realize the white at first… I thought it was bc of the contrasting colors beside each other. But your technique makes sense. So are you saying not to do an underpainting? And if you do what color would you use, a bluish or a contrasting?

[@brendahatten6119]

Thank you great help!

[@MohinderPictures409]

Thank you, this helps me a lot!

[@dianereeves2619]

Thank you sooo very much ❤❤❤

[@Kirk-se6vf]

Could one use gesso also? Excellent video you are a fine artist mate.

[@suzikynz2765]

He forgot to mention that you also need to add a darker base tone / shadows to then use the the brighter colour ontop.

Have you ever used gesso instead of your white paint? I’ve glazed over dried white and got an effect for fur for my animals..

[@ansika_art]

I too use this trick

[@forrest603]

Can you mention what iridescent paints you're using, and how you mixed them (ratios)?

[@Louyou2]

Do you have to dry after every application of white before using red again

[@cherylmullender3869]

What blues are you using for the blue feathers please?

[@DraMaurenNavarro]

Hi Daniel ! Greetings from Costa Rica! Can you share with us what is the first cooor you use as based ? Isn’t just pure black 🥴 I m going to paint a bird that comes to my trees all the time her name is Toh or momoto ceja turquesa (Eumomota superciliosa) ! I thought to paint the based white and from there, add the turquoise and other colors, but watching this video makes more sense dark based? 😢 help please 🙏🏼

[@dekimken3007]

What are the names of the paints that you used?

[@feliziabaungrat5110]

Hola. Le cuento que me encanta como pinta .lo único es q no le entiendo y me gustaría saber que dise ..soy de Misiones . Argentina .desde ya gracias por enseñar

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Yes, great tip. Did I see that you did 2-3 rounds of white and red? Is that necessary rather than just painting red over white once?

[@StudioWildlife]

It’s not necessary but I do it to build up a little bit more variation in the colours

[@scooter4life718]

What acrylics for realism do you recommend

[@thomasry1]

So if I want all my painting to be vibrant can I do a white coat first on the whole canvas?

Hi thanks for the tips. I paint a lot of football paintings and would love to see how you would go about painting a deep/shiny Cardinal color of a USC Trojan football helmet when the night lights bounce off of it.... (p.s. I have a custom painting Ruth Mayer did of me playing football... she's sooo talented...if u don't know her, please Google her paintings... someone was moving the large painting awhile back and she dropped it and the center of the canvas ripped right through... do you have any tips to repair it?? Or am i going to have to break it up into smaller paintings?? It's a collage of different scenes similar to her famous Rose Bowl painting. Please 🙏 let me know your thoughts..tyvvm)

[@EV4UTube]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it lools like you are using lower-quality (student-quality) paints. High quality / more expensive paints have both higher pigment loads and higher-quality pigment choices.

[@jonjonsson6323]

Not really, you need to study pigments more. Why it becomes pink, is because you use a titanium white wich changes the hue. You need to use zink white.

[@wasmic5z]

"When you add white to a colour, you aren't making it brighter." That's false - you ARE making it brighter, but also desaturating it. There are several ways to make colours really pop. One is to just use a more saturated pigment. The red that you use in the video is not the most saturated to begin with. Something like a light cadmium red is much more intense and vibrant, and would produce the saturated look even without underpainting. Many pigments, particularly organic (as in organic chemistry, not organic food) pigments, are partly or wholly transparent. These are particularly well-suited for applying over a white underpainting. Phthalo blue or green, Quinacridone reds and magentas, Dioxazine violet. Alizarin red is a particularly great one but only exists as oil paint (and imitations in acrylic, since the acrylic medium destroys the alizarin pigment). Prussian blue is the same; only available as an oil or watercolour paint. What these all have in common is a very strong staining power and a low opacity. If your starting point is already highly saturated, like phthalo blue or cadmium red, then you can better afford to mix white into them. The loss in saturation is made up for by gain in brightness. But for less saturated pigments, like dioxazine violet, chromium oxide green, cobalt colours, and many others too, mixing white into them will kill the saturation. Cobalt colours and dioxazine violet are good for underpainting techniques, but something like chromium oxide green will never ever be bright, no matter what you do to it.

Thanks Daniel loved the dialogue but to be honest (and I don't want to sound like a troll because I'm not one) but your bouncing around and jiggling your shoulders nearly drove me insane.. any chance you could just relax and stand still, I really love your art... and would like to re-subscribe...uurrgghh BTW i would love to try your technique as I photographed a superb kingfisher in my back yard recently, those turquoise colours were magnificent cheers from Oz and apologies for the comment

Haha I’m working on the camera angles in my newer videos 😂 I do tend to bounce around a lot when I’m painting 😂 just having so much fun!
