Beautiful Harmonious Color Mixing in Acrylics | How to Avoid Muddy Colors

[@cps7915]

This was SOOOO helpful. I'd love to see another study using Burnt Sienna and colors that harmonize

[@MrsPatJones]

Lovely colours and tones. It helps to really understand the colours when I do these types of exercises. Thanks for the reminder to do some more. 😊😊

[@TheDanishPainter]

Happy painting 🎨🎨🎨

[@lisacarlson5735]

Gee I wish someone had shown me this years ago. You’ve just solved a big problem for me! Thank you 😊

[@TheDanishPainter]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching 😊

[@johnhoward1154]

Truly enlightening! This is wonderful for establishing values while keeping the hue related!

[@DG-mv6zw]

You've successfully identified the problem with the palette I work with....Far too many colours used which all seem to clash! . Thankfully you've also identified the solution....Stick to 3 primaries+white+black. This will dramatically change the way I paint in the future. Can't believe such a limited palette can actually produce so many colours/tones etc . And these colours with be harmonious rather than to work against it. Thanks for this. Tremendously useful for me and others like me. 👍

[@janetgoodall6372]

Brilliant! I feel like I have wasted years painting without this way of mixing. Thank you so much for posting this Marie Louise. ❤

[@rachelleaney16]

Thank you Marie Louise! So helpful and inspiring--and also enjoyable to watch!

[@lisamiller3948]

This is an incredibly instructive video for color mixing. Systematic + harmonious. Going to my studio next to give it a go. Thanks for generously sharing your instruction with us 🎨

[@candicewoodard8575]

Thank you for this demo. I usually get lost when mixing. Great idea to keep a colour "journal" for reference.

[@karenlavigne1108]

The timing of this video is perfect for me! Thank you & I really hope you make more! This is so helpful

[@arielmoore4233]

Awhile back I started a color mixing chart but was doing it in a very labor intensive way. This is so much easier and quicker AND so much more fun! Thank you!!!❤️

[@louisejffisher4630]

Stunning, it is fun just to lay out and keep charts with such beautiful simple mixes. Thank you.

[@dominiquesoubielle6310]

Comme "Galactic Witch", vos vidéos m'inspire beaucoup. J'aime votre technique de peinture, votre palette. Merci de partager avec nous. Thanks from France. 😀🖌️

[@ninagraci110]

Wonderful and generous of you! Thank you so much!!! Waving from Toronto

[@lydieantier2876]

Another great video...I have now more work to do ;) I learn a lot with you, thanks a million Marie Louise.

[@TheDanishPainter]

Thanks so much Lydie! :) Yes the work never ends but as long as we enjoy it then it's ok ;-)

Hello Painters 🎨 In this video I'll show you the easiest way to mix beautiful and harmonious colors in acrylics without all the theory. Using this method everyone can mix beautiful colors without guesswork, without the fear of creating dreaded "mud" or waisting paint! During my years as an art instructor I've gotten tons of good questions about mixing paint and tonal colors. And color mixing is a vast subject and also a very important one. But what do you do when you just want to paint without first learning all the theory behind it all? In this video I'll show you one way to get started and how you can mix beautiful muted colors in no time. This color mixing techniques can be used when painting everthing from abstract landscapes to flowers, animals and purely abstract paintings. Once you use this technique there's no going back, you'll love how easy and fun this is.

[@katrinamurphy1493]

Thank you, this gives me a much better understanding of colour.

[@JVance-du8sf]

Just the demonstration I was looking for! Thank you.

[@shannonlupyczuk8362]

Excellent

[@cherigreen4471]

Great exercise! I learned how to make beautiful harmonious palettes! 😊

[@davis-kc1xp]

Thank you so much for this teaching! Really helpful!! 🌷

[@rumisprite]

This is the most helpful art lesson I have had. I really have been haphazard with color mixing (beginner painter) and now I have a much better idea how to do it.

[@arielmoore4233]

You could make your own charts with any other colors you like. The true benefit of this exercise is doing it yourself and to keep and have as reference for your paintings.

[@u.c.2644]

Beautiful colours!

[@sylviefleurant6138]

Just awesome 🤩 Thank you Marie-Louise .

[@medhan847]

Thanks for this helpful demonstration

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

Great video! Thanks for the guidance. Lots of inspiration and education. Blessings and take care.❤❤❤

[@TheDanishPainter]

My pleasure 🥰

[@k8marlowe]

Thank you for taking the time to share these videos. I’ve found that it’s helpful for me to go back to the basics sometimes. It’s been a while since I made color swatches. Your video has reminded me how important and useful they are!

[@mumtazsamnani1237]

Thank you for sharing this demonstration of colour mixing Very helpful 👍

[@gryffinberner]

Thank you so much! I have not painted for a year and a half and this has been a great review! I made a lot of mud today so this reminds me to go back to swatches

[@micheleleech8128]

Great colour exercise.

[@shirleybravomalo8939]

so helpful for us beginners! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Makes me want to try againg.

[@lesleypathe4839]

Thank you so much such great advice and just beautiful ❤

[@laurae545]

So helpful! thank you. love your tutorials

[@jeannecarstensen6710]

Thanks!

[@TheDanishPainter]

Thanks so much Jeanne🎉🎉

[@jeannecarstensen6710]

Wish I could afford to give you more because your tutorials are priceless. Stay safe and well. Please let your Danish friends know that the large majority of Americans do not want to challenge Denmark for Greenland. We here in the US are entering a period in our country of grave challenges to our democracy, our Rule of laws, and our Constitution.

[@saa8160]

Thank you!! I needed this!

[@김잔-o7h]

I was thinking about the color until recently. I struggled to find natural colors, and I didn't like the colors I used. Thanks to you, I learned how to make good colors. Thank you so much!

[@terizaccaro9838]

I am SO excited about this. I was in a slump and this just revitalized me!! I apprecuate you so much.

[@TheDanishPainter]

That’s great 🎨🎨 happy painting and thanks for watching ⭐️

[@astridrichter2237]

Vielen Dank für das schöne Video🌸🙏😄👍💖

[@kathleenkosel9368]

I found it really important to use great quality paints...or none of this color mixing works! Love your style and videos.

[@TheDanishPainter]

Yes absolutely, need good quality paint. Too much filler and often bad color pigments in the cheap brands.

[@edstathis7377]

Yep, just the lesson I was looking for! I was always “guessing” as you said, and usually had 8 or more tubes of paint laid out. And the mud. Oh the mud!!! I would have been a great brick layer. Anyway, thanks for sharing this and I’m going to make up one of those reference note books. Cheers!

[@TheDanishPainter]

Haha I love your humor. I hope you enjoy it and be very interested to know if you find it useful. Cheers!

[@Alexandra-ks7cb]

Such a beautiful trio choice for your primaries. Going to play with this one. Thanks for the video. I love seeing trio/primary palette mixing and swatching videos 🌈

[@Lorraine-p1b]

Such a lovely tutorial. Learnt so much. Can you make your own burgundy and would this work with gouache? Many thanks

[@micheleleech8128]

Very useful. Thank you.

[@judebryson-meehan4204]

Thank you for this video, so easy and great idea keeping a reference book for colours

[@nicolelocas77]

Merci beaucoup, j'apprends beaucoup avec vous

[@bodilnielsen855]

Super undervisning

[@wayneparker2593]

Thanks, a game changer for me.

[@GM-yn9nc]

Wow, let's do this color mixing all day long. These colors are gorgeous and I love this lesson. Have you selected new colors to try this mixing process again for a winter landscape? Thanks so much ❤

[@dea9065]

❤❤❤ thank you so much!!! It helps a lot!

[@LMAbstractArt]

Awesome! Thank you for this video👍

[@Natasha-u6s]

That’s a great video thank you. Can you please explain why you don’t put water on your brush?

[@Sam34292]

Very helpful, thankyou ❤

[@RavensandDandelions]

I just recently discovered your KZbin channel and I have been so inspired by your art! This is exactly the video I love to see, these videos are so helpful for a beginner. Much love from the Netherlands!

[@TheDanishPainter]

Wonderful, so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Me too.

[@kathekokolias9569]

I learned a lot watching you mix the different colors and think I'll now be able to do it without getting lost! Thank you for a great demo!

[@TheDanishPainter]

That's great Kathe! Happy painting :)

[@2PuppyProductions]

What a wonderful demonstration of a helpful exercise. I love the idea of keeping a notebook of these color combinationsfer it. I'm curious if you have a favourite pallette of 3 colors that you tend to work with more than others?

[@mages6881]

Thank you

[@pambirch778]

Brilliant, thank you! I will do this.

[@TheDanishPainter]

Yay! I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to know if you find it useful

[@DoDayDem]

Terrific

[@jeffmoodie6144]

I went with ultramarine blue, cad yellow primrose, pyrrole red and burnt umber instead of black. The umber and blue make a near black which can be quite neutral when white is added as well as making an interesting muted green when yellow is added instead of white to lighten it. I’ve tried other reds, blues and yellows and those three just work out well for me.

[@marypartridge5154]

You are so calm and logical. Ive tried your style and its all messed up. You I think know a lot more about realistic technique than I do. But what you do is wonderful and you make it look easy but without an idea of composition this can mess up.

[@dianneshaddock]

Thanks so inspirational

[@renateletts4378]

What is the brand name of the watercolour crayons you use please. Love your loose painting❤

[@Banniesartistry]

Thank you!

[@cornishmama]

Thank you 😊

[@janilledutton139]

I'm inspired! Wonderful demonstration. What brand of paints did you use to mix these colors? I find brands vary. My local store doesn't carry Bordeaux...

[@vickkiwalsh7776]

Love the colors you started with but what red would you substitute for the burgundy. Thank you for such an informative video.

[@TheDanishPainter]

Maybe a reddish violet could work. But the beauty is that we mix the colors we already have and that way we'll discover new and exciting colors we never knew we could mix - I think you'll find that it's quite addictive and fun once you get going and mixing. Thanks for watching and happy painting :)

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Hi. Just wondering why you don't use a wet palette with acrylics?

[@ant11368]

Very cool. Thanks. Buy why don’t u just keep the palette in the end? The swatches are larger and easier to see

[@Bella-d1v9y]

This is my problem. Lots of colors but no look of coordinated subtle color movement. I will take more time choosing a color palette and watching it "move". Thanks

[@JediWebSurf]

unintentional ASMR.
