[@angelcmercado2022]

Malcom, you’re a great teacher. Clear, no background music and at a nice speed. Great channel!

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you 😊

[@hereist4nd140]

I just made a artwork with light green used a bit goldish colour yellow and a tiny bit bleu so yeah your absolutly right. You need to use more yellow. and a litle bit blue. Thank you for confirming it.

[@gwenboswell7181]

Very very useful thank you so much ⚘😊😊🌹⚘🖐🏻

[@JackRainfield]

Great video! I'm from New England but when I visited Ireland I felt like I was really seeing the color green for the first time. I had thought that green Ireland thing was just a lot of hype. LOL

[@MalcolmDewey]

Yes Ireland does get the Green Award, to be sure :)

[@dawnharrold4474]

Thank you so much for this Malcom, it’s been a real game changer. I’ve struggled getting the right colour for sun lit greens for so long but now I’m really nailing it it’s so exciting. I’ve actually managed to get that sunshine in my grass….. thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for this usefull video. I use black and lemon yellow for warm green.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Try ultramarine and deep yellow for a more vibrant green. Compare results.

[@brandonmagnus4414]

Green gold pigment is a good shortcut

[@yelenafurer541]

Your paintings are so much alive! Love your teaching. Could you, please, specify what kind of lemon yellow is better to use? Thank you!

[@MalcolmDewey]

A cadmium yellow is best. Many brands but I suggest Maimeri or Rembrandt.

[@laureldonaldson5487]

Very good demo, I now have a much better understanding of green. Thank you

[@MalcolmDewey]

It's a pleasure, thanks Laurel

[@patgraney1361]

Thank you for this enlightening video. Thinking of how light shines Through leaves to impact color was a new revelation for me.

[@MalcolmDewey]

You are so welcome

[@terrierose5917]

Very useful, color mixing can be very confusing, and frustrating. Thank you.

[@frances3254]

Hi malcolm. Love your videos. I get a very nice and bright springy green by mixing Turquoise blue with cadmium yellow.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks for the tip Anne

[@petersmith769]

Thanks for the instruction, I have just worked on a very green oil painting with your suggestions and I feel that it’s really worked. Thank you

[@MalcolmDewey]

Excellent, glad to hear that

[@fatoomgierdien2181]

Wow WOW!! A Good lesson!!!! Thank YOU.

[@thewhitehotel8348]

great video as usual

[@MalcolmDewey]

[@thedsleisuretime]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent Sir. A very helpful art lesson and channel to share for the art students..🙏

[@MalcolmDewey]

It's my pleasure

[@kendallowens8566]

If you are looking for really bright greens use a yellow and a blue that already lean towards green. Lemon Yellow was a good one, and Pthalo blue is a green blue.

[@Jason-fp7vi]

I'm completely captivated with your painting tips. You make it look so easy! You have great talent and surely years of hard work and practice

[@MalcolmDewey]

Much appreciated, thank you

[@sttarch5150]

Very helpful, as always. When I use the color picker in photoshop on sunny clear sky scenes I get colors that are Cinnabar right out of the tube. I want to use a limited pallette, but the dark, medium and light Cinnabar are dead on.

[@judymills873]

Thank you so much! This will be really helpful

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you 😊

[@jackal1776]

Hey Malcom, do you have a video on foliage that’s close up in the foreground? I’m doing a painting where the grass , flowers and other foliage is right up front but it looks like a jumbled mess.

[@MalcolmDewey]

This one may be helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6u2hXqVgtaljc0 - Its all about simplification, big shapes and also make sure your composition is correct. There must be an easy path for the eye to enter the painting and not get held up by objects right in the foreground.

[@jackal1776]

@@MalcolmDewey thank you !

[@ZolotoiKluchik7917]

Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful and straightforward!

[@lagavulin]

Very nice explained 🙂

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thank you

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

Hello, thank you for the demonstration. I have Ultramarine and Cad. Yellow Light ("lemon yellow"). Would a bit of Ultramarine and a lot of Cad. Yellow work for mixing bright green also? I'm asking because the Cerulean Blue you're using is a lot brighter than Ultramarine. And: Would Payne's Grey work too?

[@MalcolmDewey]

Cerulean would be better. Ultramarine has a hint of purple to it (which suggests red) and that will knock back the green slightly. I know opinions differ, but the point is if you want the zing to your green you will need cerulean or even cobalt. Yellow light is slighlty warmer than lemon yellow, but will still get you a bright green.

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

@@MalcolmDewey thank you.

[@Abszurdista-fatalista]

@@MalcolmDeweyHello again, I just got me a tube of Cerulean blue but I noticed it's an imitation made of phtalo blue, a type of white and a type of yellow pigments. Will this imitation ("hue") work also? I'm worried because it has a white pigment admixture.

[@user-ie8rl3xw8y]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@andreaberger4286]

I had to laugh when you said “ it pains you to add white!”

[@frikjacobs697]

Uitstekend maar steeds moeilik om self n toneel te verf dankie vir die les.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Dankie Frik

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

How can I make a green landscape look interesting? I can't stand too much green in a landscape.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Warm it up more with yellows, yellow ochre and burnt sienna calms down green. Any reddish color will balance out the greens.

This is I need no. Thanks.
