Most of the questions & comments I receive are about mixing color and this video demonstrates how I mix my colors and what I think while matching and mixing colors from life Julie: I made a color diary that I keep track of which colors I use to mix another. I also made a chart yesterday of what primary colors look like mixed with other ones. For example, I did one page of my lightest yellow, and another of cadmium yellow, and one of yellow ochre, etc. And on each page I made swatches of how each yellow looks mixed with my different blues, and with my different reds. all three colors together. Also black and gray made with these colors. Also It will be nice to refer back to.

Thanks for another very useful video. I have a question about value, when you throw a dark color (like blue or burnt umber) into a mixture that contains white (like the red pile, you don't just change the color but the value as well, right? Because I've heard you get two different results when you mix colors (or mixtures) which differ in value. Thanks a lot!

I've watched several tuto videos about colors harmony/mixing because when I paint my colors are terrible. But, it's the first time I REALLY understand why. I think because your explanations are simple and clear (even if my english understanding is not good. Very excited to go back painting with my new knowledge. Thank you very much.

Great video and very informative. It really helped to watch you actually mix the colors. I have been struggling with this and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Would love to see one on how to use warm and cool colors together! Thanks!

i love your cooler and warmer explanation, thankyou it helps ---, the teacher in my university always ask me why didn't i use black for shadowing / darkening, i think the answer is coz that black will not really show the warm and cold temp. i'll answer him next time XD, thankyou

hello! do you use any medium with acrylics (gel/matte? what about retarder? also, which palette would you suggest? i've seen some people use the wet palette. i use a thick board which i use and throw but my colors dry so fast! do they not dry on the glass one which you use?

It would be helpful if you compared the colors you mixed with the objects in the Still Life set up to show us how close you got.
Also. how can you get color harmony in a painting of objects whose colors do not harmonize?

Yes ultramarine blue because of the red bias will only create a dull green, for a bright green a blue such as phthalo blue with a green bias will make a lively green, with a cool yellow thinks for the demo.
