Hi Everyone,
In this tutorial I’m discussing why GREYS are such an important part in any paiting. I’m answering questions: why you need to expand on "straight out of the tube" greys, how to mix your own greys and where to use these mixes. I am also refering to a number of works where I used limited palette to achieve natural looking greed, full demo on PATREON. Here is one of them www.patreon.com/posts/8743850...
Hope you enjoyed it. If so, please like and subscribe!
Have fun painting!

Ho my goodness, Nina! You made the “greys tutorial” I asked you! I feel so grateful. And you really knocked this lesson out of the park. Wow, this is one of the most valuable lesson I ever watched! It is kind of “what no professional will ever tell you”: and then you tell us! Not just the how but also the why: no formula, but the logic behind (and this is rare and invaluable). Thank you, thank you, thank you! Everything make much more sens now. I’m so glad I dared asking you all these questions about greys. Haha, I’m sorry if I have been a little too enthousiast about this tutorial, but I’m so happy now you took the time, not only to do it, but to think about it thoroughly as you did: and honestly it surpasses all expectations. I really can’t express you all my gratitude for each minute of this enlightening tutorial you made with devotion and expertise. I was not lying, you are the real deal: a great artist doubled with an excellent teacher. Just the best around.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Not a problem at all! Watercolor for the win 😉👍 I'm super glad it's helpful and thank you for your kind words 👍

[@Neorhim]

One more question (sorry): does that idea to limit ourselves to three main « sort of » primary colors to achieve color harmony also translate to « opaque » painting such as oil, gouache or acrylic (I know you do oil)? Maybe adding white to those three? Or does opaque mediums are a complete beast of its own to this regard? Thank you!

[@jenskreibach9424]

Finally someone points out the importance of greys. As a side effect you achieve a color harmonic. Thank you for that.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

My pleasure! 👍

[@marvinspates924]

Wow Nina you never cease to amaze me with your knowledge of art!!! Color mixing is my down fall! I will look at this video 5 more times just to let it all sink in!!!😯😯😯👍

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Thank you Marvin!!! I'm so glad to be helpful! 👍☺️

[@raerae6422]

I love the idea of brown being a grey. Makes great sense.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

It simplifies things, doesn't it?

[@SuperExadidas]

thank you Nina.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

👍 always a pleasure!

[@newfiegirl2267]

This is an incredible gold mine of information. Thank you so much for sharing it. Everyone talks about the importance of greys but this demonstration really gives the viewer tangible strategies to use in their paintings to take them to the next levels in a very clear and understandable format.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Awesome! I'm so glad it's helpful.

[@markdonovan1540]

This is a masterful tutorial that is very helpful. Thank you.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

I'm so glad, thank you Mark!

[@elaineg60]

Love this, thank you! I fell in love with cerulean & potters pink for a cool, softly granulating lighter gray. Then, after I mulled some PB33 (manganese blue) and just out of curiosity, mixed a handmade potters pink-I got a darker version of that cool gray. No idea why I’m so hooked on this particular gray…but, I bought more pigments and I’m going to make some for myself so I can easily use it when needed. I used it in a beach scene, adding just a touch more blue for the sky, a “white sand” beach, just my lightest value of the gray, adding a touch more of potters pink for shadows. Or…maybe my vision is just getting worse faster than we thought it would 😂

[@danielpursey8471]

Excellent and very useful Nina, thank you.

[@maggiemayriedel3734]

Thankyou for your wonderful tutorial.Your explanations and how and why suggestions are very helpful.I,impressed

[@bls924]

Nina, you have the special ability to explain technical things in an easy to understand way. So much of this makes sense. I'm going to do the work and compile a mixing greys chart for myself because I think it's important for understanding color. Seeing this and actually mixing the colors will be valuable for me. Thanks for the push this video has given me. 🎨🖌♥
