I hope, Marc, that the universe rewards you for ALWAYS sharing your expertise so generously with the rest of us.

Best help for me so far! I cannot thank you enough! I wish you would do more! What a magnificent artist you are, I can't take my eyes away from your landscape! Thank you Marc

[@juliafromwisconsin]

I, like so many people have admired the colors that this artist uses, and here he is sharing them with us, how generous

[@Jopp7in]

Thank you for this! mixing greens is a big struggle for me and understanding the theory behind color selection was incredibly valuable. Saved this to watch again!

[@sueg65]

Great video. Not as much red mixed in as I would expect. Look forward to trying these color mixes.

[@chilli_bean_23]

Excellent demo and explanation. Many thanks! 🙏

[@mariarowden3751]

Thank you for a very logical and helpful way of laying out the different greens that you use. I have been mixing greens using these base colours but as there are so many possibilities I get confused about which combination to turn to for a specific purpose. 😊

[@scottpitner4298]

I can be fun to make a swatch sheet with squares, using your picks to then refer to later. That helps me :)

[@valeriecoon5930]

Very useful to see your painting in the background and hear what colors you use frequently. Thank you.

[@suzannebonham583]

Thank you so much for making this video! It really helped to see your gorgeous landscape painting in the background while comparing to each color blended on the squares. Learned a lot! Was soo confused about greens before. Thank you!!

[@nean12350]

excellent demo as related to landscape greens.

[@scottpitner4298]

Great demo and artwork shown here! I’ve recently been choosing which colors for a limited landscape palette but in acrylics. I like (Cad yellow light, Yellow ochre, Cerulean blue, Naphthol crimson, Raw umber, Chrome oxide green and Ivory black.) I find it can produce a large variety of greens that work together.

[@irenevitale4525]

Thank you Marc, I have been exploring & struggling with greens. The color mixing demo you generously shared has just made my day!

[@jlusk999]

Gorgeous painting! Exactly the way I aspire to paint one day.....realistic but still obviously an artistic rendering in paint.

[@aca2410]

Great video. Background painting is insane !!

[@MsVivian99]

I’ve been struggling with these same colours! SO very helpful, thanking you !

[@travelbonne4872]

Best tutorial on greens! Thanks you so much!

[@justicenoapart]

Thank you very much for the your green presentation. I immediately will try to get the different greens. I like the base of ceruleum blue!

[@MrRaym1961]

Thank you Marc!! Valuable info about greens and also the primaries in a way.

[@SuperShaunieshaun]

That was so helpful. Thank you Marc.

[@kikiraven2620]

Absolutely brilliant

[@MattSimmonsSysAdmin]

Really educational! Thank you! I've never painted squares like that - I'll definitely have to try it. If nothing else, I think it would help my eye and help me learn to control the colors better.

[@izlence]

Very generous of you to share the recipes, as if a Michelin chef shares his ingredients. Thank you. Viridian is my base pigment for greens (because it can be turned down easily with alizarin hue and plays nicely with ochre, oranges-yellows and transparent red oxide) but I will definitely try cerulean approach. I also would love to see your sky color mixes. Sometimes I have very hard time mixing the right hue or decreasing the chroma of the sky, and I guess cobalt blue might be part the solution but haven't tried yet.

[@marygraham2155]

This is so very helpful

[@deaconseptember2002]

Thanks, Marc. Always appreciate your instructional videos.

[@kristimckay4092]

You are so generous to students like me! Thank you so much Marc You’ve really helped me

[@m00ftak]

Amazing video! I learned a lot. Thank you

[@robertfrancis4733]

Very helpful well done with the palette cam and interesting to see your use of medium and paint consistency.

[@mairopiroue6753]

Very enlightening, thank you so much!

[@fahmi_art]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS :)

[@trondsi]

I love your ability to simplify the subject, even difficult ones. Do you ever use viridian green?

[@kathleenclarke828]

bou dipping intorilliant! What mediums are you dipping into?

[@vonkunstler884]

Thank you for sharing your paints and knowledge with us all! This really helps and I could only hope for similar lessons on other colors like browns, etc… Thanks again 🙏

[@ronbryant2523]

Thanks Marc for a great colour lesson....question what is in your dippers?

[@MarcDalessio]

Medium and solvent. My medium recipe is on my blog (there's also a video recipe here on my channel somewhere). For solvent I use spike oil these days, as my wife is allergic to turpentine.

[@oh_Ferrari]

Looking forward to learning from you in person 2024. Somewhere in the Gers?

[@kathleenclarke828]

brilliant-meant to say!

[@BogdanBalintFineArt]

Thank you !

[@samluther9597]

thanks, very informative. curious, what mediums do you use?

[@MarcDalessio]

There is another video on my channel with the recipe. It's sun-thickened linseed oil and Canada balsam.

[@bernadetteolson8074]

These are the colors I have been trying to capture.

[@giuliostangarone8823]

Thank you ! Hope this is a series … ciao, Flavia M.

[@rodirsno]

Love it. I just bang Phthalo Blue instead of Cerulean. I am not that flush Marc. Thanks for the demo.✌️

[@harry486]

Ever need to use viridian or sap green?

[@MarcDalessio]

No, but many of my favorite painters used them.

[@tesstess3371]

51 shades of green!

[@kaliissouledout4jesus928]

Thank you!!😊
