I began painting when I turned 70, went to the art store and bought Heaven knows how many colors. While I still mix colors, your video injected a hefty shot of adventure into what I think I can do, and I thank you for that.

I think a phthalo blue is a better blue to use for color mixing generally, because it is a truer primary. Ultramarine, is so warm, when lightened with white it becomes more like periwinkle than a true light blue. Nothing against ultramarine at all, just commenting with respect to those new to color theory, and learning about color mixing. But you are also showing, how you like to mix and use colors, so there’s some subjectivity shown also. I love how you made the different shades of brown.

Feliks, you did a great job. As an acrylic abstract painter of many years, I love doing colour charts (at this point) for relaxing play and inspiration. I notice your chart used 3 "warm" primaries, hence lovely clear colours and neutrals - bravo. You might want to mention the ubiquitous colour temperature factor for the undocrinated. Thank you for being very clear, and pleasant.

Filik, I'm happy you are teaching people how to mix colors with basic primer colors. Red, yellow, blue adding white and sometimes black. I have been using primary color for forty years. I was a billboard sign painting for 15 years in my younger days. I had to use primers buckets of enamel paint to mix colors using a process color guide . Now I know what to mix to get the color I want to paint like a pro. . . I guess I am. Sure saves from buying all those paint tubs. My artist friends use all of the verity of color. Why don't they tackle what we all did in grammar school. Primary, secondary and beyond. Thank you for this great lesson. I don't thing any other art teacher reviews this on KZfaq.

mixing paints will not always work without losing vibrancy. pigments even if pure can have tendencies towards multiple colors (yellow = PY3 = yellow+bluish). so mixing primary red (magenta) and blue (cyan) will give purple. but magenta also has some blue in it and cyan some yellow. when you check the color wheel you will see blue+yellow are complementary, this means you will have a shade of grey in your mix and your maybe expensive colors will turn to poop. for landscapes its ok but not for vibrant paintings.

I have a question. You (and many others) use this bright blue and a red for mixing colors, but printer ink is with cyan and magenta. Why is it so and would you recommend using your way of mixing with primary colors or is it also a way to go with cyan and magenta? I know both works well but maybe there are pros and cons in both ways which are important for certain artists or techniques (etc.) :)

@monicafranzo9378 4 жыл бұрын

Many people struggle to make purple using blue and red.However,I learned that you need to use magenta to achieve that color .

@kalpagovekar7973 4 жыл бұрын

Use Crimson red or Quinacridone red plus ultramarine blue to give you a good shade of purple . If you use Scarlet red you will get a muddy purple
