How did your paints not dry already? How much water should you use? It gets so confusing, I almost use none but it's so hard to blend etc so I realized you're not supposed to blend but do better at making the darker and lighter shades of the same colour. Also, thank you so much, this was so so helpful. I've been doing fine with paintings but yesterday I tried one after getting the advice from another painter to maybe use water more and the first step made it look so not good, I was so disappointed. Can you also teach how to make blurred paintings? I can't seem to understand the technique

This is better than my art teacher because she ask the class to buy but didn't tell us how to mix colours. Is like years ago.
Now I feel like painting again but I only have primary colour as she says primary colours can make lots of secondary colours.
So I got two yellow, blue, red, black white. One yellow is like more brighter. Them the other one is like yellow to me.
I still want to know how to make pastel colours but is still good since I feel like I can play around my colours to make some of tour colours that I like

My only problem with this brilliant video is that it squashes the value scale down into about a third of its full size. I find that even using complements it's hard to get the dark end of the spectrum. Burnt umber and ultramarine are good for this, but would the solution be to have darker versions or these basic colours? Like a naturally dark red, or in other cases using dark earth colours?

Hello Schaefer! Im trying to build a limited palette with the Golden OPEN acrylics and they don't have Cadmium Yellow Light. The nearest options are Cad. Yellow Medium and Cad. Yellow Primrose (a more pale version. Both are PY 35, single pigment. My question is, which one is better as a mixing yellow? Should I buy both? Thanks

I use six colours:
Cadmium
Red/cadmium yellow/ultramarine blue for warm
And lemon yellow/cerulean blue/crimson for cool.
Would recommend these six as you can make a complete spectrum of tones.
Also I have permanent rose/Winsor violet and titanium white.
I make my own blacks from all the above. Addicted xx

I watched the whole video and I didn-t really see the bright pink for the leaves. Is there any way you could stick to primary colors to obtain fuschia for instance?
