What do you mean you can-t make a dark yellow and it becomes a whole new color? You can take a yellow HUE and make it darker and keep it in its chromatic neutral line. And yes, it becomes another COLOR, but that is true of all COLORS. Using a black tubed black is no different. All single pigment blacks are very deep hues (usually blue-violet biased) and need to be learned about just as quickly as any other tubed paint. Barring any bounced reflected light, a color in shadow takes on a darkened form of whatever that shadow is cast upon. Using a tubed black properly is no more -dead- (or should we actually say -natural-) than mixing a black and using it. It-s so funny listening to people complain about black then turn around and mix black and use it. hmmmmm.

For the person that asked the original question I'm not sure if he really answered the question you were asking. Just in case I'm right you may want to try: adding just a little touch of red. Like half a scosh. You get a darker bright yellow color. If you touch that mix with a hint of blue (an 1/8 of a scosh. you get more of a ochre. The CMYK (in some order like that) isn't a new color pallet someone invented. It is what is used in printers. They use cyan, magenta, yellow and black. If you use this pallet for paints, you'll need to toss in some white on your pallet too. I be e used it and it tends to give brighter secondary and tertiary colors.

Well Sir. watched both videos on colour mixing, i have to say that was an awakening, started taking painting classes last year and the so called teacher arrived with a bunch of colours! Not even once told us about the primary colours and the almost unlimited colours that can be made just by mixing them. Thank you very much for your tutorial it was excellent, mind you colour making companies wont like it but who gives a. damn
As far as your attitude i would not worry and i would not apologise, you did nothing wrong you simply spoke the truth
Take care

Awesome and very informative video. I-ve tried to get a real bright turquoise shade, almost luminous, like the turquoise waters of Boracay Island but failed miserably. I know Golden Fluids has this very specific shade, it-s called Teal. Would you know how to obtain this shade, which others also call cyan?

This is appalling. You need to learn about hue, value, chroma/saturation and study something like the Munsell system. You might not need it for your painting but if you're going to make tutorial videos then you should get your facts right first.

I think this video is quite misleading for beginners trying to understand colour mixing. Black is an essential neutral to reduce the chroma of colours. I think you're confusing tone with colour here. The Red is not dark it's purple.

I am a moderately experienced oil painter. This video wonderfully lays out exactly what it says it is: color mixing essentials. If we can internalize what is on this video we are well on the way to creating any color we want.

I love mixing colors. This gives me some parameters to work on. It's a nice change from working with graphite, and I love the feel of the paint on the palette. I hope to love the look of it on the canvas someday.
