Thank you for your videos. You teach me so much. Ciao from Italy

[@jaunieschooley8641]

Phil- of the hundreds of videos that I’ve watched of yours i think this is one of the best! Simple, to the point, and great visual of your various green mixes. Will use as a reference for a concise greens color chart to hang in my studio. Thanks!

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful Jaunie

[@deannam7551]

This is the best tutorial on color choice that I have found. Thank you!

[@philstarke.artist]

Wow, thank you!

[@sarahskinnerfineart]

Thank you for this! Green is the bane of my existence and I'm challenging myself to paint more green. This video is perfect!

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful! Greens can be tough.

[@darcymanwaring1489]

Learn so much, I will change my greens but I would have a lot of different values upfront and didn't know why it didn't look right. Thank you so much

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marywebb1138]

Another very helpful video 😊

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Mary

[@trentriver]

Another great video and extremely well explained. I've watched many videos on mixing greens and this is the best by far.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Trent, glad it was helpful

[@MB-kf3yx]

Thank you for posting a video on mixing green in oils. Very helpful to see the colors you choose and the mixes you develop from these. It is also helpful to hear your thoughts on coloring mixing.

[@philstarke.artist]

You are so welcome!

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

You are amazing teacher

[@george.k.crm114]

I love❤, the amount of information 💓. you give 💝 in this 💯 interesting tutorial 💞 thank you for the beautiful video you share with us,,💖....

[@philstarke.artist]

You are so welcome!

[@michaelweigant1220]

The addition of the fence in the foreground leading the viewer into the middle of the canvas really ties the composition all together ! I have really learned a lot from your lessons and ebay videoes Phil,thanks,Michael.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thank you very much!

[@susanhunterguise]

Thanks Phil! I would never have thought of mixing ultramarine blue and viridian for a blue-green. Lots of possibilities in this video. I have been wanting to explore colour temperature and this helps.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful Hunter. Color temperature is king.

[@DanielFishback]

Really great Phil. I got some new information to try out,.

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Daniel, glad it was helpful

[@stevechrisman3185]

Very helpful. Would also like to see how this looks (in real life) on the palette ... how do those mixes come about ?

[@philstarke.artist]

Great idea!

[@tamaratorres6468]

Excelenteeeee!! Un millón de gracias.

[@philstarke.artist]

You're Welcome!

[@appleorchard4269]

Very nice video, it helps me lot to understand color mixing thank you!

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikekean8002]

This is great Phil ! Would like to see more of this, with other colors like yellow. You’re yellows in your paintings look so good.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thank you, I will

[@anneburke2405]

Thank you Phil, this helpful for me. However I’d rather see you mixing the paint on your pallet instead of the photoshop blob but I guess that’s because I love the "feel" of the paint. Thank you again though, I love what you’re doing to help us all.

[@philstarke.artist]

You’re welcome Anne

[@aureliasieberhagen9340]

Thank you. That was very helpful. I live in the Namib desert and I always have a problem with sand and more sand and always struggle to make that look interesting. I will use this method but in Yellow Ochres and earthy colours.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@koffeekage]

I like terre vert and sap green.

[@debbieseal4164]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you. I am having issues with paint strokes for a large grass area similar to what you show here. Do you have any videos that cover brush strokes for grass? Thanks.

[@philstarke.artist]

Glad it was helpful Debbie, I don't think I do have any videos on grass, I'll keep that in mind

[@wellfeedstravingartist2022]

Hi Phil I would like to see a video from you about basic color mixing thanks love your videos

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Shawn, Its coming soon.

[@coindesigner7477]

Hi Phil, I'm thrilled I found your site!! This information you've shared on greens it priceless :-) I'm working on a mountain scene with fall colours. Have you done one on autumn aspens, or do you plan to do one in the future? Thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge ....and talent ;-)

[@philstarke.artist]

You are welcome, I'll try to work that one in

[@bonniemccarty6713]

Phil do you have a printed color chart with all these different greens? 😊

[@jaunieschooley8641]

I’m going to make a color chart for these greens. Would be a handy reference to hang in my studio!

[@philstarke.artist]

No I don't Bonnie, I keep meaning to make some charts but no time.

[@santoshrajpasupuleti7059]

Wow! A great presentation and explanation. I am going to share this video to my friends. Phil, can I know the software that you use in your presentation?

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Santoshraj, what is it?

[@deaconseptember2002]

I have a question about color mixing. If you were to make a green from ultramarine blue and cadmium yellow light, should you first make a value string of the blue and yellow separately and only then mix each to make the green?

[@philstarke.artist]

Hi Edward, If you want to make a value string of green, I would mix the blue and yellow first then add white to create 5 or 6 values.

[@europeanroyalty4778]

I heard stefan Bauman say he believes temperature is as important as value. While I understand value is number 1, I believe paintings can look a bit flat if the temperature is not correct. While my values are certainly not perfect, my paintings read as 3d, but look a little flat without being able to accurately see temperature.

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks, Color temperature is certainly more important than local color. It always helped me to separate color and value in my head
