[@TheOakelfwitch]

You're the 1st person on youtube to explain how to mix colors in a way that everyone understands :D Thanks, i needed this so much ^^

[@hedgewitch59]

I don't know if anyone reads comments but identifying colours is much easier if you isolate them. Having other colours & tones around confuses your eye. Cut a small hole in a piece of white card and place this over the areas in question. Ta da! Your eye picks the colour straight away. Then take on the task of matching the colour. Its a lot easier!

Hi Brandon, I am a beginner painter and I just finished viewing your "ReWorking and Old Painting Still Life of Lemons". I was amazed at the job you did with that painting. To me it is perfect! Anyway, at the end of your video you asked for requests. So, I have a request for you to do a "How To" still life painting of fruit video, such as lemons, oranges, pears, apples, grapes etc, I especially favor lemons since I am such a fan of lemons and I would love to create a painting of lemons one day that I could hang in my kitchen. I have to compliment you on your very wonderful relaxing teaching manner in the way you explain, colors, light source, blending, etc. It is especially beneficial to a beginner like me. Kudos to you and thank you for your painting lessons, techniques and tips!!! I will be looking forward to viewing your next "Still Life How To" video. Take care and happy painting!

[@debbieisuani1562]

Thank you for keeping things simple and starting at square one. I attended my third painting class and the only thing I have learned is how to draw a horizon line. The class is definitely more social than teaching. I've watched two of your videos and learned a lot about basics which I need. Thank you again!

[@renatobfa]

I was looking so much for a mixing example using OPEN Acrylics, to see the consistency of the paint. Thanks for the video!!! That helped a lot

[@gasperettiarts]

After my first messy period during which I tried to use loads of colours, I now restarted from scratch using: (white, used sparingly, most of times slightly tinted to avoid chalkiness), cad red, cad yellow, UMB and raw umber. In the future I may try the cool/warm three primaries palette, but I have to say that using only white, the 3 primaries plus 1 earth tone is great for learning, keeping colours in armony and saving money

[@Mackat3652]

I probably said it before, I had painted many years ago College days, Then went into Graphic Design. Now back to painting again. I totally enjoy your video's it really helps me get back on track to my color mixing. Thank You!

[@EmmaMorgan09]

I use six colours: Cadmium Red/cadmium yellow/ultramarine blue for warm And lemon yellow/cerulean blue/crimson for cool . Would recommend these six as you can make a complete spectrum of tones. Also I have permanent rose/Winsor violet and titanium white. I make my own blacks from all the above. Addicted xx

[@SchaeferArt]

That's a pretty good palette of colors for sure :) I use something similar now myself.

This helped me out very much! Thank you! it is helping me think about tones and shades in a new light, which is helping my acrylic paintings come out better.

[@dillardparker7546]

You can use a limited palette of 6 colors--warm and cool cast of each of the primary colors.

[@renatobfa]

Hello Schaefer! Im trying to build a limited palette with the Golden OPEN acrylics and they don't have Cadmium Yellow Light. The nearest options are Cad. Yellow Medium and Cad. Yellow Primrose (a more pale version). Both are PY 35, single pigment. My question is, which one is better as a mixing yellow? Should I buy both? Thanks

[@aminajameel5939]

Thank you this helps alot. also could you do flesh tones?

[@judynupp2515]

I'm interested in painting and this helped a lot. I haven't gotten anything to start yet.. except a cheapo watercolor set.. and really loves it. only needing to get 4 colors will be a lot more cost efficient and easier for me thanks

[@graphicsociety1]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Is that a regular glass or Plexiglass you're using as a palette? This is an 18 min tutorial? did the paint dry? are you using anything like a wet towel underneath the palette?

[@destinyle8068]

Some people actually use Acrylic Mediums to keep paint lasting longer

[@graphicsociety1]

good point, thanks a lot.

[@sandyporter7153]

This video really help me alot, thank you. I was using too much paint because i wasnt starting new, i kept adding to see if i could fix the color. I will save alot of paint using your technique.

[@gabo42013]

What do you do if you run out of an exact mix? do you just try to recreate the exact same color or do you just try to blend the new color on the canvas with what was already laid on the canvas? Also, wouldn't having such a small amount on your palette cause the paint to dry too quickly? (I'm sorry in advance if these questions are too basic or perhaps stupid. I am new to painting)

[@gabo42013]

What kind of brushes do you use? I started with a cheap set of White Taklon but the "hairs" have been coming off the brush or sliding out a bit further which has been a horrible experience.

[@gurvis0649]

Thanks for responding. The thing I most wanted to accomplish is blending and softening edges. How quickly does Golden open dry? I keep wishing I had started with oils but they take way too long to dry. I am a poor man in money only. I am blessed.I don't want to start over . Thanks again for your feedback. God bless and live long and prosper

[@SchaeferArt]

+Gurvis Hackle Depends on how much you use of it, and how you paint - thick/thin, etc.. but usually in less than 24 hours. And for oils, I used to think the same thing about their drying time but depending on how you paint with them, mine usually dry within the next day or two.

Very good tutorial. Thank you so much for taking time and posting this!

[@sandralarocque5000]

Thank you Schaefer. This is exciting!

[@joodasheq]

You. Are. Awesome. Thank you, it helped very much. You mentioned adding earth colour to this limited palette, such as burnt umber. Would you use it for darkening colours? Such as this pink on the ears? Or will it change the colour entirely (not darken, maybe change it to be greener or something)? Anyways, one more question. What would you mix to get the colour of his cave walls? I was thinking and I would probably use the shadow of his furr (red + yellow then knock it back with blue, darken it with umber?), then glaze it with purple (that is red + blue + lots of water) in some places, and red with another places? Is that a proper way of painting, I mean - paint the base of the cave, then wash it over with another colour and water? Once again - thank you for your time, it was a great lesson. Had birthday recently and my wife ordered me some new paints, but as you suggested, I will try to stick to the kadmium yellow, kadmium red and ultramarine blue. One question though, what should I use my siennas and ochres and stuff? Do they have a place where I can make my mixing time easier? Thanks for awesome video :) p.s I made my glass palette from a picture frame, its great. I use palette knife (made of plastic) to mix the colours. Should I mix some water into them too? Oh, and something else - is brand of the paint influential in any way to the mixing result? I mean, I know that artist quality paints are more saturated and have more pigments, but what I meant - is when I mix poorer quality blue and red, will I achieve a worse purple? less saturated perhaps? Any thoughts on that, and on paints in general? Can't afford Golden sadly.

[@SchaeferArt]

Patryk S You could use burnt umber to darken some colors, but be careful as it may change the color.. it depends. Something to experiment with. You can also use red+blue to darken colors. As far as the cave walls [the walls behind him].. it just seems to be some kind of dark earthy color, you could add some blue/purple tones to it to really push the temperature of the painting and complement the bright oranges. I would stay away from glazing altogether for now. It's generally not good to use water, you'd want to use glazing medium and the painting would have to be completely dry. I'd just skip all that for now and keep your focus on mixing correctly, etc. You can use your other colors here and there when you feel necessary.. like if you see a color that looks JUST LIKE yellow ochre.. or close to it, use it and mix to it what you need. I just wanted to show you the importance of using a limited palette and the harmony you will achieve and the knowledge you will gain from learning to mix your own colors. Just don't go crazy with adding in all the other colors :P But over time, you can use them here and there, they aren't wasted or useless, so no worries :) Just keep your brush damp, that should do it. If you feel you need it wetter and more fluid, dip the brush into a bit of water and keep it wetter. No worries about affording expensive paints, I can barely afford them myself lol. I would just stick to the brands you can afford. They may be a little less quality but I have paintings from 3 years ago used without lower quality paints and they seem fine. Don't stress about it too much. Hope this helped you out! Good luck!

[@joodasheq]

***** Hey just some other questions and thoughts :) I am mixing paint with a pelette knife, since I mix medium quantity of paint and I always think that when I mix with a brush I just make a large stain of paint and not a pile of it. I can paint only hour or so a day, so I am using a hermetic box where I just leave my glass palette with some water and it keeps paints fresh. This leads to another point, since I can only paint 1-2 hours a day max, I don't have a drying problem. Thats why I asked about glazing. I already have some glazing medium, I bought some like years ago and its still closed as I never used it. I have a technical question though. As you see on the left side, on the wall there is a shadow. And I have no idea how to make that. I mean, how should I paint it? First the whole wall in its own colour, then add some blue/black to darken it and paint over it again? Or glaze it? I want to keep the shapes I painted (the claw marks for example) intact. Should I treat it as two separate painting parts, where I paint the lighter wall, then the shadow? I always have to paint stuff for a couple of days, I am a slow painter sadly. I love details and I spend lots of time on every single piece. For example, I will begin this painting by painting his head, then his arms, then tail, or should I first block the walls with burnt Umber, his body with red and then add details? I don't know how professional painters do it, but thats how I do it (the first part). Any advice on how to divide the painting? Lets take his head - should I first the underpainting (probably burnt sienna?), then cover it with red and orange (with very visible borders), then blend the borders? How would you paint this (I'm sorry I write so much, I'm asking about the order/technical stuff every time, I'm a computer guy so I always try to do stuff "logically" to understand it better) ?

[@SchaeferArt]

Patryk S Break that wall down into simple shapes. Don't worry about the 'true' color of the wall.. it doesn't exist. Only the colors that you see. Paint those colors and shapes. That's why I don't think glazing is needed right now. If it needs to be darkened, mix up the darker color needed and paint it that color. Make sense? Don't get too caught up in layers. There are tons of way you could do it. Personally, I see 3 different shapes on that wall.. the light, shadow and then the claw marks. Simple, easy. See what I mean? Just break it down and paint it out. Start out with less detail and add more as you go along.There's no right or wrong way to layer. You don't even have to do a bunch of layers. You can do it all at one time and just blend them, making it one layer. Generally, I do the darks first, then slowly make my way to the lights. Then back to darks when/where needed, repeat process. I say you block in the entire painting, wall, the creature, foreground and overall get all of the colors as correct as you can. Then start getting more detailed - work on his face, then his body, foreground, background, etc.. slowly develop the painting all at once. Don't get lost in the details of his face before you've started the background.. Know what I mean? Hope that makes sense :)

[@joodasheq]

***** Oh okay, that is exactly how I don't work lol :) I did some paintings before as this helps clear my head and i always divided this into parts and painted the whole part, then the whole part. But I will try to see it as one and to paint is as one. By blocking you mean using one colour to cover large area, right? So I'd use this sandish colour to block the wall, the red to block the creature and then work from that? I have a feeling I'm making it way more complicated that it is. Eh.

[@SchaeferArt]

You don't have to use one color when blocking in.. I just meant to try to cover the whole canvas before getting super detailed. Get all of the color and value relationships correct. That's the important part. Yeah man, just jump into it and see how it goes. You can plan all day long but until you start doing it, you'll never know lol. Just do your best and do what feels natural.

[@Disirablepossessions]

Great video very helpful. You say you are an amateur, where did you get all your knowledge from?

[@15x3equalsgrace4]

Do you ever use White Mask Liquid Frisket in your painting? If someone paints the back round and then starts the foreground sometimes the paint is translucent and you can see the back round coming through the paint you put on the foreground so should you just put on a second coat or use the White Mask Liquid Frisket ?

[@ionlyemergeafterdark]

Thanks Brandon. That's very helpful. I'm just learning but one thing I can offer is to support your point that the greys and darks make colours pop. I've read a few books on that, two of which are 'classics' I believe:- 'Colour: A workshop for artists and designers' by David Hornung and 'Interaction of Color' by Josef Albers. Both are good books, I think, but I think the Hornung is the better because it is easier to read and to understand.

[@maynelson7439]

[@kikaweber]

[@gurvis0649]

You are using Golden open. Is it any better than using Liquitex heavy body and adding retarder? Also have you used the Interactive paints? I am brand new and I appreciate your feedback.

[@SchaeferArt]

+Gurvis Hackle Haven't tried any of those other things you asked about unfortunately.. so I can't really compare. I've used the OPEN medium with regular acrylics and it works just fine. Just depends on what you want to achieve.

[@pw6titanium]

If you use the open acrylics, they tend to dry like oils but they don't have the colour saturation of oils...so you may as well use oils

[@georgeflutey5925]

Thanks Brandan, a really helpful, informative video. Keep them coming

[@DDabeiseinistalles]

Nice video. I have a question : In germany there is the colot brand Schmincke. Those are not too expensive for a hobby painter. I can also order golden colors but they are way more expensive. So do i need those good golden colors or are others fine as well? My problem isnt the dry duration. My problem is that i paint with a light so i see all the colors correctly. Everytime i turn off the light the painting doesnt look so good anymore. I painted more different colors and then the different colors dont show up, i want a style like Josh Elliot or Carlson. I mean they are masters, but i want these different colors everywhere and i paint it like that, but it all darkens when it dries and doesnt look so nice anymore. I hope that makes sense, its hard to explain ;)

[@SchaeferArt]

DDabeisein Istalles Ah I see. Acrylics do dry a little darker and it depends on what light you are painting in and also how dark it gets when you no longer have the lights on lol. I usually don't paint with much light on at all.. Maybe 1 or 2 light bulbs across the room. As far as paints, I would just try out different brands that you can afford first and just get a feel for all them and the differences and such.. and go from there. Try to use the one you enjoy the best and gives you the best results. If you feel like you want to, try Golden eventually.

[@MsFerryville]

When I mix the colors as you did them are not as intense as some other secondary I have bought. Is this true or it's just my perception? Thanks in advance!

[@conivarde9041]

I don't know if I'm right, but sometimes that happens because some colours come with special pigments

[@e2sato]

do you mix all the colors before start paiting? Don't know if is the brand, but my acrilycs dries on the plate very fast

[@wolf7379]

Eiti Sato Sorry. I'm 6 months late in noticing your comment. In this particular video he is using "Golden Open Acrylics". This is a new line that "Golden" came out with to solve the problem of "fast drying" that "all" acrylics have in common. Here is a link that describes in unbiased detail the good and bad points with "Golden Open Acrylics": willkempartschool.com/golden-heavy-body-vs-open-acrylics-paints-review-which-is-best/ willkempartschool.com/how-to-choose-a-basic-acrylic-palette-for-colour-mixing/ I hope this helps. P.S. I have had the same issue with "normal" acrylics, they dry too fast! The downside to "Golden Open Acrylics" you cannot apply thickly the paint, otherwise, you will have to wait for weeks for the layer to dry before you can paint over it. So not really good if you want to paint over mistakes, you have to wait for weeks!

[@lilymanson4896]

The addition of a cool red would be helpful in achieving the purple that's needed, as well as cleaner oranges and better shadows. I know cad red is kind of the old standby, but if you use a cool red (magenta or maybe alizarin), you can still mix a nice, warm red with that, but you also have the option of making much richer, more vibrant purples with ultramarine and magenta. Warm red and ultramarine will never mix as vibrant a purple.

[@dalimadison7553]

Exactly my thought, thank you

[@davidsmock8235]

I was only able to get Crimson. Is that color good enough to mix with other colors to get right tones? I have the other right colors.

[@SchaeferArt]

Crimson can work just fine as the red on your palette. Just know that your mixtures will be slightly different than what you see in a video. Just experiment and find what’s best for you

[@callmedeno]

My only problem with this brilliant video is that it squashes the value scale down into about a third of its full size. I find that even using complements it's hard to get the dark end of the spectrum. Burnt umber and ultramarine are good for this, but would the solution be to have darker versions or these basic colours? Like a naturally dark red, or in other cases using dark earth colours?

[@SchaeferArt]

Yes you can add more colors. Nowadays I use more colors on my palette. This was just a video for beginners and usually it's good to start out with a very limited palette just to learn to mix a bit.

This is better than my art teacher because she ask the class to buy but didn't tell us how to mix colours. Is like years ago. Now I feel like painting again but I only have primary colour as she says primary colours can make lots of secondary colours. So I got two yellow ,blue,red,black white. One yellow is like more brighter. Them the other one is like yellow to me. I still want to know how to make pastel colours but is still good since I feel like I can play around my colours to make some of tour colours that I like ^^

[@rameeshah7449]

How did your paints not dry already? How much water should you use? It gets so confusing, I almost use none but it's so hard to blend etc so I realized you're not supposed to blend but do better at making the darker and lighter shades of the same colour. Also, thank you so much, this was so so helpful. I've been doing fine with paintings but yesterday I tried one after getting the advice from another painter to maybe use water more and the first step made it look so not good, I was so disappointed. Can you also teach how to make blurred paintings? I can't seem to understand the technique

[@SchaeferArt]

Years ago when I was using acrylics, I started using Golden OPEN Acrylics, or if you want to save money - I would buy the Golden OPEN Medium and add it to the paint I was using. It keeps your paint wet for almost 24 hours. Much more enjoyable to use in my opinion if you want to use acrylics. Makes blending possible. And also, if you still want some areas or first layers to dry quickly, then just don't add medium to those mixtures. Very flexible process with that medium, if you can get it where you're located or online.
