In this video, I’m going to present to you a really interesting and strangely overlooked technique to balance colors. We’re going to see how to desaturate colors without loosing their qualities by using complementary colors in a very specific way and make sure to stay until the end because I’ll share one of the most valuable mixing tips I have in my repertoire.
Note that all the pigment theory I describe might not work with your own paint, indeed, pigments vary a lot from one manufacturer to the next so you might obtain different results on your palette. The idea still works, you can adjust to the specific hue of your pigments and find the right complementary pairs for your paintings.

@@FlorentFargesarts agreed, but paint manufacturers don’t make it easy either. They have a vested interest in making us buy 20 tube colours just to find which two are closest complimentary pair. Often with beginner sets there are one or two pairs to whet your appetite, but never the full set- so it’s obvious they know exactly what they’re doing. I would like to have paints listed in pairs somewhere on the company’s website, as each manufacturer formulates them differently so you can’t even go by the pigment codes. I have a loose, expressionistic abstract style and like the happy accidents which happen where they meet.

Glad that you have demonstrated this. In art school, we were tasked to paint a still life where all the colors were to be greyed using complements. It was fascinating but this was the 60's and all the paintings ended up with a purplish cast because of the red-yellow-blue thing. The final stroke was a pure color of our choice at the spot in the painting that was the optical center (known as "home" to some). It was amazing! I do have an issue with your discussion of skin tone. Faces are not all pinky white. What you say about modifying the "flesh tones" can be applied to other color ranges of course. It would have been a brilliant stroke if there was one more minute to demonstrate that. Crucial if you are teaching a flesh-diverse class.

However dark or pale skinned the subject I see warm neutralised browns in the lit areas and cool neutralised more bluey purples in the shadows. To my mind the difference is tonal value more than hues. The main difference in I see between pale and dark skin is the highlight shine is much more visible on young healthy dark skinned subjects. I really notice when tv makeup artists aren’t used to darker skin because they obliterate the shine with powder, making a teenager look like a freaky pensioner/waxwork🙄🤣

Phthalo, green and cadmium red produce a wonderful, gray . Thalo green and magenta create an incredible mov when you add white🙏

Alizarin crimson behaves in a special way in mixes, that is what it is valued for, and that cannot be replaced by a mixture of cad red and sienna. There's a reason it is on so many landscape painters palettes despite rarely being a color found in landscape.

Thank you Florent, your video is a great source of knowledge. I always get astonished with experienced artists talking about complementaries/primaries. The sentence that hurts most is "the complimentary of red is green"! FOR GOD SAKE! If they do BROWNS mixing red and green, so, what the f*ck they "teach" that they are complementary? The cyan is an ignored color for many artists.

Cyan is such a crucial color to me, it hurts that it's overlooked so often. It's mostly cultural, when you don't have precise words, people don't learn to perceive the color so it doesn't exist, they call it "light blue" or "blue green". It's like calling orange a light red or a yellow-red. But that's how things are. Artists have a role to play in shaping how we all perceive colors.

Channel "Draw Mix Paint" suggested when mixing to "darken" colors, instead of ever use black, just use blue or burnt umber. This is because when you "think gray," you should "think blue" instead. With that being said, he also suggests using mixing "complimentary colors" into your paint to desaturate your paint, so it appears more gray. Honestly? Floren Farges and Draw Mix Paint have reinvigorated my love for painting, especially oils. I bought the techniques course online and it's such a treasure trove of great techniques that helps you set up, and maximize your ability to do good painting.

*Abstract* This video tutorial discusses a technique for balancing colors in painting using complementary colors. The video starts with a scenario where an artist mixes a color, lays it on the canvas, and finds it to be too vivid. The solution most beginners would use is to add black or white to desaturate the color. However, this can often lead to a dull and dirty color. The presenter introduces complementary colors as a way to desaturate colors while preserving their vibrancy. Complementary colors are opposing colors on the color wheel. When mixed together, they create a neutral gray. The video explores the concept of complementary colors and how they work. It also discusses how to identify complementary colors using a color wheel. The presenter then demonstrates how to use complementary colors to desaturate colors on the palette and directly on the canvas. She also discusses how complementary colors can be used to create vibrant flesh tones in portraits. Here are the key takeaways from the video: * Using complementary colors can help you desaturate colors without making them dull or muddy. * Complementary colors can be used to lighten or darken colors without using white or black. * Complementary colors can be used to create more vibrant and complex paintings. i used gemini

I mean, teal, specially cobalt teal is the blue with the most green shade before we actually start calling it green so, I don't think it's wrong to call green complementary to cad red, cause you can remove all the blue shade from it and it still will be complementary, but not the other way around, removing all the green shade will only lead you to violets, so it is actually the green in it what makes that blue a "complementary"; and we are not even taking into consideration the yellow shade in the cad red, which also mixes with the blue and creates... Yes, you guessed it: GREEN, which also neutralizes the red when you mix them.

My palette is normally Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White, and Yellow Ochre (it's easier for mixing than Cadmium yellow in most cases), but I've never needed any other colors, aside from occasionally Ivory Black to get something really black. I actually recoiled at the beginning when he mixed in grey to desaturate red. I normally mix up a bit of green with blue and cadmium yellow it to desaturate red (no it's not the exact complement, but it's more than good enough). If you need a lot of a particular color (say green when painting a forest scene), it's probably worth investing in a tube. Otherwise I don't think it's necessary.

This is based on the color of Lightwaves not the color of pigments. Look up lightwave color wheel and youll find what hes talking about. While this will be a fun way of working the complement of green IS red. I challenge you to pair red and cyan then red and green. You will get a far more dramatic effect from red and green. They also help neutralize eachother very well. Imo better than red and cyan. I only say this because you say the color wheel is wrong and green isn't the opposite of red. It is. But you can also consider things in the way you're talking about. But it's an alternative way. Not the true complement.

Yeah ok, but this results in muddy colors already in the palette if not used with the right pigments and the right quantity. To tone down colors is better to use slightly different pigments of the same tone or a very little quantity of certains complementary or using white with a little of mastery and not using black, you don't need so much, using magenta and cyan like this is really like throwing a bomb on a flower in order to pick it up and the colors you get are really strange. You can put blue on skin in the underpainting or on a glazing but better look at how Ingres or Sargent use the colors on not at this.

Sure, I get your point and agree. I don't use magenta and cyan like that but the quantities I normally use are so subtle that they don't really appear in the video, you have to think about the format. I have to demonstrate with clearly visible effects but the reality is much more moderate. I disagree with one thing, Blue in underpainting is fine, but it's also nice in the overpainting.

There are really not clear rules but you have to master what you do, sorry for the critic but I think that a not experienced painter can found this hints not useful at least. Maybe it's better start with the basics. I agree that white make colors chalky and black dull but it's something really relative to what you are using and what you do. You can use black and white or cyan and have wonderful colors or dull colors. It greatly depends on how you use it and what you want to do. It also greatly depends by what pigment are you using. Every pigment has a almost a different rule. There are cyan that are easy and cyan that kills everything. For a beginner using cyan and black is really difficult, better use something else or start with a limited palette. In my opinion obviously
