SECRETS TO MIXING BEAUTIFUL GREENS

[@pearlmacmanus7451]

I keep coming back to this video, Sandi. It is so helpful and you are so much fun.

[@robinharrold4969]

Thank you. That was so easy to understand. It was fun and not so technical. I’ve been watercoloring for several years an have Never been satisfied with my Greens. You unlocked my Brain. Now if I go to my Art room and skip the housework maybe I can conquer Viridian. 🤷🏻‍♀️☮️

[@sandihester]

So glad it was easy and helpful!!!

[@1sacoyle]

Especially helpful when painting out doors with a gazillion shades of green everywhere.

[@KittehNow]

I loved this video. I love mixing colors, but I have a lot to learn.

[@xurupe]

Such an amazingly beautiful array of greens here, and I am enamored with the paintings you shared. As you say when looking at colors, "That makes me want to paint!" Excellent tip about using the yellow to lightening the green as opposed to white when you want to retain the warmth and vibrancy.

[@nanvaughn2258]

Hi Sandi. I'm a newbie to painting so this was so helpful. I love, love. love your cheery, playful approach to painting. It makes me feel less intimidated. Today=color chart fun. Thanks again.

[@sandihester]

Sooo glad to hear it was helpful!!!

[@sachet22]

Certainly just what i needed Sandi! Even though you are working in oils here I can use this great, enthusiastic energy about color mixing anda color charts to initiate my PLAY today 2/26/24! Your older info is still relevant!

[@gretchensharples7071]

I am learning so much from you! And for free! Thank you!

[@sandihester]

You are very welcome!

[@wendowendall4017]

Thank you so much for this Sandi! I love using greens but seem to be always mixing the wrong one. This is so helpful. Sincerest gratitude to you for sharing!!

[@priscillawarren9979]

I love doing color charts. It is really the bestest way to learn your colors.

[@sandihester]

Totally totally agree!!!

[@sandyknoff9980]

Love love love this so much! Color Pallet /chart happiness, it is so fun! I'm learning so much and I get so inspired by your videos. Thank you Sandi ❤🔥I think this is one of my favorite videos, I keep coming back to watch it. Now I know why you get the ginormous bottles of yellow 😂

[@sandihester]

So glad you liked it!

[@lamiarouleau1378]

Sorry for the french word. I meant « actually » and not « actualité ». It’s the spellcheker of my tablet which doesn’t want me to speak english

[@sandihester]

😂

[@pacificnorthwestambiance5919]

So great seeing how the sunlight impacts the green I chose and so being reminded about all the ways I can mix greens was just what I needed today, thank you. And seeing some of your paintings is always so inspirational

[@LucysArtNSoul]

Love this! Please make more of these mixing videos! I definitely learned a lot here. Thank you

[@sandihester]

Thank you Luz!

[@KittehNow]

Yes, I would LOVE to see more like these❣️❣️❣️

[@belladini4754]

I like how you setup you’re palette colors, so different from what most people do. Can you do a video on why you set it up that way, the advantages and so forth. Also what is that metal thing you have your colors in and why? I like your video quality...bright, clear and colorful. Nice studio btw.

[@sandihester]

Bella, thanks so much for the comment! I have an older video all about my pallet but I do plan on doing another one in the near future. Thanks SO MUCH for the feedback about the video quality!!! That was helpful!

[@chenkish5854]

Wow!! A. Love this video. B. Your work has changed so much.. what a journey!

[@sandihester]

Yes it has

[@Kate-ck9kh]

I am trying to simplify my work. My favourite book is 'The story of life' by Catherine Barr. It's simple drawings inspired me to paint without focusing on details. Thank you for keeping posting your work. I love your colour pallet.

[@heatherota6825]

Great exercise! Color charts are a wonderful way of exploring your paints. It always amazes me how many greens can be made from just a few primary colors! Loved the video!

[@sandihester]

I agree!!

[@honey3762]

Your art is so fantastic! I love it! I love your colors and I love that you make these videos! You are an inspiration!

[@sandylee1717]

Amazing greens thank you❤️👍

[@gwenritch]

FYI, I have dedicated my color mixing journal to a Sandi Hester mixes and favourites..I’m going through a green phase right now with lots of landscapes in my sketchbook

[@scoobysue4185]

Thank you for this very informative fun video! Would love to see more like this on mixing oils!

[@sandihester]

So glad you enjoyed it. I have more tutorial type videos for the future and I’ve been meaning to do a whole one on just oils but just haven’t done it yet.

[@madelynsmith8281]

Color mixing and reading the color wheel is my weakness. I need more help in that area. I really need to take notes on this video. Very helpful.

[@sandihester]

So glad it was helpful!!!

[@_Ninety9ine]

Amazingly helpful! Thanks 😊

[@sarahjohnson9541]

You do like mixing colors! 🥰 but I really like the Emerald green on there. It’s a nice contrast.

[@sandihester]

[@impish22]

Very helpful..!!

[@sandihester]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rednicholepacoy6187]

i love painting plants with all those green leaves, but i always had problems with mixing greens! this video will surely help me, and i totally agree that the green coming straight from the tube is abnoxious lol

[@sandihester]

I sure hope it helps!!!!

[@Eiznek05designs]

Thank you for making this video! So helpful ☺️

[@sandihester]

You’re so very welcome!

[@juliehooper1360]

This was fabulous 👏👏👏👏

[@sandihester]

Thank you!

[@julietoye9872]

This was so helpful. Thank you 💗

[@sandihester]

You bet!

[@liesbethartlife]

WoW that’s a video packed with great advise and tips ! I hate green out of a tube of out of a pen, I always added purple to tone it down. For sure I’ll try to mix my yellow with ivory black 😍 When I was painting a big cabinet on our market place here in my town, people had so many questions why I put purple to my greens

[@sandihester]

Oh good - I’m thrilled you found it helpful!!! Adding red to your greens may help even more than purple. Let me know what you think of the black and yellow mix!

[@freyartz]

Super helpful. Thank you!

[@sandihester]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robinharrold4969]

I’m getting it!!!color green. I used Watercolor. But I’m getting it.

[@sandihester]

It works in any medium - good job!!!!

[@Dawnasy]

Love this you are a fabulous artist! Do you offer workshops?

[@sandihester]

I’m working on one possibly for the Fall. Make sure to follow me over on Instagram because that’s where I’ll be sharing these types of things first.

[@minnahumble2294]

Did you say what paint you are using? Is it your Holbein acrylic gouache?

[@nurb4295]

I mix most of my greens from yellow ocher and phtalo green (or black) saves me from using my expensive cadmium yellows.

[@sandihester]

yes - that's a good mixture too!

[@lisabarnes6919]

Are you using oil paint or acrylic ?
