Thank u for the tutorial my palette just got alittle fatter lol but what green did u use on the beautiful oak .. i been trying for yrs to make my trees less cartoony never thought raw umber would be my friend and neutral grey ...

[@paintingwithbrandon-BBart]

Amber, thanks for reaching out and I'm glad to hear my video may have helped. In all honesty the colors I was using for the tutorial is just what I already had out on a palette at the time, and could vary from one painting to another. My greens are usually pthalo green or one called grass green when I can find it. The technique remains the same though, colors you can play with until you get something you like. Most of my videos will have colors I used listed in the description if you ever need a specific reference. Happy painting!

@@paintingwithbrandon-BBart what undertone does your phthola green have

[@paintingwithbrandon-BBart]

Amber, you are asking questions way above my pay grade, lol. I have no idea honestly. I just bought a green off the shelf and squirted some on my palette, which is normally a piece of wax paper on top of moistened paper towels to keep my paints fluid. From there I typically mix a little raw umber to darken if necessary, neutral gray to knock the tone down, or maybe even titanium white. I'm probably not answering your question, and I apologize but I'm not very educated in art honestly, especially color mixing. I just mix stuff together until it looks the way I want, a bunch of trial and error.

@@paintingwithbrandon-BBart i am sorry but another question can u give me the paint pigment number it should be on the paint container for example PG7 then i can answer my question lol ..

The paints I use for most of my tutorials are Masters Choice from Hobby Lobby because they are inexpensive. The green I have is the one in the link, I'm not at home currently to look at the tube to get any info. Maybe you can extract from this : www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Supplies/Acrylic-Painting/Masters-Touch-Acrylic-Paint---4-1-Ounce/p/8388

[@bruceball4238]

Suggestion .... please ditch the music. It is too loud & very distracting. Let your fantastic skills speak for themselves.

[@paintingwithbrandon-BBart]

Bruce, thanks for the feedback. Question for you, is it a specific video that it was too loud, or do you find it to be loud on almost all of them? Just wanting some specifics so I can address in the editing.

[@deniserothfus2247]

Your lighting sucks. We can't even see what your doing at all and show how your adding colors together. ugh

[@paintingwithbrandon-BBart]

Denise, thanks for the feedback. My purpose in this video was to show my technique for creating bark textures which is centered around starting with a dark value and then multiple passes of adding lighter values of whatever color and highlight. The actual color mixing is not important, only that I move from dark values to light values, so I don't even bother showing my mess of a wet paper towel that had a few paint colors globbed on it, and trust me it's a mess, lol. The first few minutes of video is definitely hard to see any changes on the canvas because there is not much contrast, but if you watch the later half of the video it should be easier to see. You are the first to mention bad lighting of anyone that has reached out to me so I'm not sure what is going on there but I will monitor that moving forward. Happy painting!
