How to Mix ANY Color - No Talent Method - oil painting instruction

[@AmyLarsen-w3v]

Mark is the best. Knows his stuff. I did his 6 day workshop a couple years ago and it was awesome. Highly recommend! Also, his Geneva paint line is the GOAT.

[@Astrawhatprophet]

Yay 😊😊😊❤😮😮 17:04 am😮😊😮

[@theArtOFjon]

Where can i find his paints

[@jeffcrossley4757]

Finally ordered his paint and stain I’m so excited!!!!

[@yvonnasun]

​@@jeffcrossley4757How do you like them so far? I got some Winsor newton artisan from a clearance sale but they keep lumping and stuck when I try to mix the colors with brushes. His paints look so buttery I'm tempted too lol

[@LazyTitan9]

@@theArtOFjon You can see them when he gets up, normally they're worn just below the shirt

[@redangrybird7564]

Mark is the only KZbin artist who gave away the "secret" of matching colours. All other youtubers only give us hints.

[@conankilcoyne5826]

Approaches it like an engineer. Absolutely brilliant! Getting a complex task across with ease is the sign of a great teacher. Thanks Mark

[@EnglishwithAlan]

this is extremely helpful, especially for someone like me who loves color but doesn't have a strong eye for it. thanks. a teacher of mine several years ago taught us this but I'd sort of forgotten.

[@EnglishwithAlan]

actually, I lied. you gave much more info here than my teacher did in a 6-week course.

[@mwarren7436]

For the first time I have been having success and confidence with my paintings due to this technique. Thank you.

Awesome :)

[@tcocheltree1235]

This video was more educational in the little time he spoke then classes I've taken my whole life. THANK YOU. Why am I just finding you🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@Jay-bw3fl]

No one is better at explaining color mixing that you. Your videos have helped me a lot throughout the years. Thank you! You need to put a “thanks” tip button on your videos.

[@Artsie2]

Love that hat. I live in Marietta Oklahoma. A ways away from you but I sure would like to be able to drive there and study with you whenever I could. You are the best instructor online. Easy to listen to thank you so much for sharing all that you do.

[@c.smythe8905]

Agreed. Always difficult for me but excellent technique

[@angelomariano9494]

You are a real mentor for painters. No bs

[@solaveritas2]

My problem is that when I finally get it mixed right, then I find out that I don't have enough for the area I wanted to paint and start all over with uncertain results...

[@karenviglione503]

I’m so glad I found this channel. Color is my worst and you’re making it very possible for me. I’ve got friends in Austin maybe someday a class… I use acrylic and I am seeing just how I can take what you’re saying to how I can use it. Wow this feels good. I’d been pretty frustrated

[@boraxsopanic2670]

I was thinking the same but I guess paint is added when shades are needed.

[@izzydrycow]

Maybe add a thick medium to make more of the colour?

[@georgestamatakis9601]

Honestly 😅

[@egglyph]

I have this issue too, so I never mix less than a gallon of a particular color.

[@lechat8533]

Dear Lord, I finally understand why I know so little about mixing colors and why I`ve always avoided doing it. Thank you so much for your excellent explanation. At school, we`ve had so many years of art lessons, but we`ve learned almost nothing about mixing colors. I would have gladly exchanged at least half of those lessons for lessons about color mixing. How they could ignore the most important basics is beyond me. They were teaching us a foreign language without introducing us to its ABC.

[@stoneburner4070]

your method changed my life. stumbled onto your videos years ago. this simplified method puts you in control of your colors as well as the reason why they work or don’t work. also keeps one from hiding behind not having “the right paint” to do realism. it forces you to think your way thru the process which eventually sharpens one’s eye.

[@ainurayespanova]

I WANT TO THANK U 10000000000 TIMES!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! IT WILL WORK FOR ALL!!

[@louise2467]

Newbie older aspiring artist here……I’m was totally mesmerised by your video. I love how you repeat yourself, as a lot of online tutorials blabber on and I miss loads…..you’re mesmerising…… I’m going to try this tomorrow! I will put a glass chopping board or clear plastic wrap ( no laminate) over a picture or travel brochure and see what I can do……so excited! Oh and I’ve no oils yet as I’m new to art so will try in acrylics…….. Thank you.

[@garthok6224]

Best instruction videos about oil painting ever. Thanks for being so generous with the rest of us

[@bleujaii]

Your explanation of the color wheel and mixing colors is the best I've seen. Love the hat too!

[@clownpocket]

This is some really quality instruction, as are all of Mark’s videos.

[@billyholly]

Thank you for revisiting this! It's a terrific subject.

[@lelandraven6030]

Mark, that was the best explanation of color mixing I have ever seen. Just watching that video gives me more confidence. Thank you :)

[@ElizabethMathewiiind]

How yu clean oil brush and keep safe no water used

[@nitukka2b]

This really makes a lot of sense. I used to muddle along experimenting but Mark has simplified it. Thank you.

[@MillionPeanuts]

I've watched a few of your videos and I now find myself watching more of your videos and watching each several times. Thank you for this content

[@Angeleyz513]

I truly can’t thank you enough for your knowledge! You are a true Master and I feel blessed to have come across your KZbin channel! Thank you infinitely! ♥️

[@louielouie4187]

Thank you Mark my fiance purchased your paints for me and I followed your videos and I am just amazed that I was able to achieve this realism Thank you so much you are an amazing teacher and artist 🎨

[@tinacloud5888]

This was the most helpful color mixing video ever. Thank you 😊

[@1CelloOne]

New follower here - I think this is the absolute, best instruction on mixing color, I've ever watched. My college instructor wasn't even close. I learned so much! Thank you!!

[@patrickwalsh2361]

I’ll be purchasing some of your Geneva paints in the future when I use up the large order of Windsor Newton paints I bought before I learned about yours. I really appreciate your videos - they’re excellent. I’ve studied at college under some very talented painters but they weren’t as fully generous as you with their knowledge. 🙏

[@RobertF-]

This seems like a foolproof method. Very good. Thank you Mark, for all the art and all the teachings. All the best. God bless.

[@reybarreto7979]

This is an amazing method for finding the right combination of colors for whatever color you’re trying to make. I’m so glad I found this video!

[@josephleto7583]

I've been listening to Mark for years. He really knows it all! He's helped me a few times too!

[@joshuapeterson2084]

Not sure how I have never heard of complimentary opposites until now, but your color wheel has made an immense difference in my ability to mix colors. IT is so much easier than the way I used to mix by eye.

[@monkey5266]

I've started using oils to paint models. Your videos have been really helpful for learning. I really appreciate how much knowledge you have.

[@Serpentis666]

This is a great reference for color mixing… I’ve learned so much about color thru my years of tattooing and making oil paintings and this right here is one of the best explanations I’ve ever seen!

[@richardwyant3728]

Yeah I have heard people talk about warm it up or cool it down. I much rather keep it simple and just talk about color. Intensity or chroma is also interesting if you are composing something. Great video I definitely have learned more on this one about how to reach a color goal than any of the others I have been watching. I really appreciate you taking the time to do and share this content.

[@artlovelife5525]

I teach all my students this method and make sure I always give you credit. This is such a great demonstration and I appreciate finding you. It has really enhanced my art journey and I can’t thank you enough!

[@1111juju1111]

This is the most helpful color theory/mixing video I've ever seen!

[@josephfernandes8667]

You are a fabulous teacher indeed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have always loved and have been good at painting in my early childhood years but that just came naturally with no real idea of what I was doing. Now I am retired and I want to once again get into painting and develop my skills. As I watch this video I see and learn so much that I knew nothing about. I value and admire your skills.

[@lenulan9409]

I'm so grateful to Mark for generously sharing his expertise. His mastery of oils is rivaled by his superlative ability to communicate the arcane knowledge of a skilled painter.

[@IamDV]

Absolutely brilliant. Your videos got me started in oil painting a year ago and I am so glad because of it

[@AriesArtist8]

Mark, your videos have really changed my life as a painter...I was discouraged for so long after art school... a new beginning ❤

[@MasakoSifontes]

Best instruction videos about oil painting ever. Thanks for being so generous with the rest of us

[@namastacey1]

Your paints look so glossy, fluid and look amazing to work with. I will definitely be purchasing.

[@matthewmburrill8374]

Cleaning your brush in that orange paint was brilliant. I’m happy you shared that. I hate having tons of brushes for every different color.

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Fantastic! quite literally the best colour demonstration and tutorial I've seen and explained in such a way that really helps you understand what you are learning. I only wish I'd had you as my art teacher when i was younger. Thank goodness for KZbin and people like you who are now helping so many to learn.

[@floresfamily9580]

So glad I found this teaching!! I have always struggled with color choice and mixing, but I know if I get more understanding through your understanding I will have confidence. Thank you for showing us!

[@ItsOurTime24]

just discovering Mark's channel and it's awesome. So much great information and there's never any hard sell. The colour mixing videos Mark posts are absolute gold.

[@Routing_for_sanity]

I have been an artist all my life but never took to painting with brush. I found it too frustrating mainly why wont the colors just mix. Finally thanks to you tube not my art teachers but finally thanks to this video i now grasp why warm or cool colors matter during application. Thank you im eternally grateful an excited for this new journey

[@letshuman8985]

The best explanation on color mixing! Thank you!

[@jonovembrino692]

You are a great teacher! None of my painting instructors taught us these important basics. Thank you.

[@ElianaLemosArt]

I have come to the point where I couldn't apreciate this channel more. There are so many artists sharing their knowledge by trimming down important and succinct information and cutting corners of important milestones, making it impossible for beginners and intermediate artists to even begin to grasp the concept of painting. This is such a precious resource, I can't thank you enough for making this available 👏

[@seano1642]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise(for free) and for making seemingly very complex things simple for me(us)! Really appreciate you so much for doing all this!!💪🏻✌🏻 I really can't "paint" well yet, but I'm hopeful; THANKS TO YOU MARK!😇🙏🏻✌🏻

[@reference2592]

Incredible demo and advice about the laminated photo. Such a good practice.

[@Chron_Dawg78]

These are such informative videos. Been painting for 25 years and still learning!

[@patriciaalessandri5146]

Wow, best explanation I’ve ever watched on KZbin!!

[@tranquynhmai4376]

So simple and well -structured guidelines, train the mindset, not just a technique. Love it! Thank you so much

[@leannhayes5444]

thank you! I have learned more from this 26 minutes than from any instruction I have received from anywhere!

[@beanalog8202]

Wow, very helpful! Love this concept and workflow. Thank you so much sir.

You’re so good at explaining the mixing of colors. Thank you

What an excellent teacher you are! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I brought my oil colours today and feeling very excited ! (An absolute beginner here) wish me luck with my mix!

[@jojocool555]

I never write in Capital letters, But,,,,,,,,ThAT WAS AN AWSOME EXPLANATION OF COLOUR. "Now I understand" Thank you.

[@nadiaa9100]

Thank u very much... Im a begginer in painting.. and by this video u have answered to my question about mixing color... Hope u anderstand me😅

[@neilcartwright100]

This method and explanation is easily the best video I have ever seen on this subject. Thanks Mark.

[@cindyphillips9223]

Thank you so much for making colors match so easy! Because of your help I turn to you when I have a question. You are fantastic! God Bless

[@pauldoran1864]

Thank you! As a wannabe painter I get a great deal of knowledge from your videos

[@carolclay7082]

I've watched a lot of Mark's videos and this has to be one of the very best!

[@terrierose5917]

Wonderful teacher

[@pmlm1571]

That was a generous, excellent explanation and demonstration. And I love that first portrait you flashed. Excellent work.

[@Trabelsihouda]

Excellent demonstration! So difficult to get the right value and colour!

[@advocatingAvian]

I’ve painted digitally for years and years and colour mixing is what always scared me away from traditional painting…going to try soon with this as a guide. Thank you!

[@florarhea5623]

Awesome advice! A whole new perspective for me to mixing color. Thanks so much.😊

[@woodsstuffmx]

So much informations, all very interesting and lost of rules to follow. Soon i will begin to apply this technique and the fun will begin. Thank you so much.

[@roycarvana3903]

As using a limited palette as shown you never will worry about almost any (natural) colour as long you have the five colours. Thanks for showing what should be the basic for any aspiring artist.

[@AlwaysCensored-xp1be]

Getting back into model trains, need a way to save money by mixing my own paints to match prototype colours. A nice theory was needed and this is the first video that explains it for me. I visit a craft show today but did not know which colours I needed, I already had white.

[@damienkearns3654]

Thanks for NEW video Mark, I always appreciate it and you 🙏💕

[@pectorisabelle2412]

French people is so sad because unfortunately you don't sell here your geneva oil painting !! But I do love your videos and I'm going to practice the mix of colours. Thank you for everything !!!

[@rebeccalilienfeld4519]

Thank you for the excellent instruction on mixing. I’m just starting to paint, and now feel confident that I can start mixing. This was all great, but your instruction on mixing for value first and then finalize the color match was especially helpful to me.

[@tanya5142]

Complex topic, but explained very easy. I am learning oil painting and it is very helpful 👍

[@swanswann5932]

I like your videos before even watching it. Because I know it will be relaxing,beautiful and make sense. One of the best KZbin channels ever ❤

This was super helpfull!! thank you, I blocked and couldn't begin my painting because I didn't know how to make that very first color

[@marierhodes9675]

Wow, thank you. This really works! I am filled with a sense of "oh boy what can I do NOW!"

[@butterycrunchy]

this was the best explanation I have ever heard ❤ thank you so much

[@sismanblobfish]

I would also add phthalo blue to the list of essential colors.

[@michaelbarton5169]

I like this workflow approach. I'll definitely try it next time. Thank you

Regards with respect, I admire the many things about art I learned from you, Profesor i can just say im grateful for your free classes on your web page, il again must go all I learn here, Studio set for free, ligthts, tehniq to mix painting....Thank you Mark for all, because free lessons I work with KZbin KZbin'm now badass....Now is a new season and new works, new exhibitions, ...Ass I say I must again go true all programs il just don't mix paint with brushes but with the knife, I don want to dirt basics colors with dirty brushes...Also, I know acrylics and it isn't EASY like oils in oils I can mix almost all just like you teacher but in acrylics, I have a case I work owl and I use 3 different acrylics and colors just reject each other? Acrylics if u do have just one kind and not just basics but 12/15 colors you can just struggle as I know, oils I use what I have in Serbia and we don't have oils I buy from truck drivers friends what drive in the EU and I can mix like I want I use Sennelier also Windsor and Rembrandt 40 ml profy, also GAMBLIN DOESNT HAVE PLACE IN MY STUDIO, expensive and sale name, mediums just like others Liquin original, Italian linen or mdf ... Mr . Cader is far away one of the institution for learning all u need.

[@desamerson02]
