After trying numerous colors over the years, I've narrowed it down to just 10 colors that I need in my arsenal of acrylic paints. I show you everything you need to know and how to mix them!

Something to keep in mind when mixing colors is whether you're working with a warm color or a cool color. I was taught when you lay out your palette, you want to have a warm red (usually cad red), cool red (I use alizarin crimson), warm blue (cerulean), cool blue (ultramarine), warm yellow (cad yellow), and cool yellow (lemon yellow)-- and white and a few earth tones, of course. If you mix a warm and a cool, you're gonna get a more subdued, gray color (which isn't always a bad thing!), like the purple he mixed with the cad red and ultramarine. Pay close attention to the temperature of the color you want to mix. If you keep this in mind, you can mix anything with 7 colors.

@dagoelius 5 жыл бұрын

Their is no such a thing really, the whole warm vs cool colour is BS. A colour is simply a pigment, it is neither cool or warm. Assigning a "temperature" or more correctly an emotional response to a colour is subjective, based on the colour it is being placed against. Getting the right colour by learning to match the value, hue and chroma.

@@josephjohn7209 this is basically why gouache has more pastel colors because of opacity and watercolors are vibrant because they're mostly trancluscent. it took me a long time to figure out too... i wish they taught this in the art class too along with the color theory and temperature.

@demonninetaledfox 3 жыл бұрын

@@josephjohn7209 I love the green gold honestly but That's Just Me. I love warm, vibrant greens a lot so having it in my kit is fun, and it was one of the first golden fluid paints I bought because it was a unique mix I hadn't seen much before and I loved it a lot. I think putting it in a beginner kit would be a bit silly though, and teaching transparent vs opaque colors for mixing is better. Goauche can be so hard for this reason. Black is not necessary for most people though I agree, I think for beginner artists you should remove black from your color selection entirely, lock it in a box, and when you've mixed a lot of different blacks you can pull out a few different black paints and experiment.

I started with watercolor and when I saw his set up it looks like a dual primary plus burnt umber/sienna which is literally what good starting watercolor kits look like. I don’t know why acrylic kits are so weird and wild. I’m knew to acrylics but it seems acrylic paint makers don’t like dual primaries at all. Starter sets instead tend to have a green you don’t need, not and only one red or blue. It’s weird to me.

If you're looking for more popping colors, the CMYK color scheme is way more efficient when it comes to mixing colors - as you can see in the video. It's just simple, since these are colors used for printing and mixing more different tones tend to get darker, muddier etc. The orange for example, mixing cadmium yellow with magenta will give you the vibrant orange you want - the muddy orange is the result of an already desaturated red. I had advanced painting + printing classes in school and in some we were only allowed to use cyan, magenta + yellow and had to mix ALL the other colors ourselves and it worked! Really nice showing that in your video! I wish I had known that from the start :D

@AndreaPacko 6 жыл бұрын

These are great colors. However is a long time nature painter, I have found a few additionals that you might want to consider. Hookers green and chromium oxide green are really good for trees. Yellow ochre and Indian red add a touch of realism. Prussian Blue, and alizarin crimson are deep accent colors. And a new one by Golden that I've been using is Titan buff. Just thought you might want to try some new things.

In art the primary colors are usually said to be red blue and yellow, altough the red used is usually too orange and the blue is too purple. Cyan and magneta is closer to the true primary colors. While mixing colors you have to be very specific with the type of colors you use, if you try to mix purple and the red has even a tiniest bit of yellow hue the result will be muddy

Mixing, mostly. If I'm mixing the same base hue often and I have something close on-hand, I put some of that on the palette to help keep me sane-ish. Raw umber or burnt sienna, or sap green are probably my usual additions. Not that I don't have a stockpile of options should they be useful. (The first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one. I don't have have one. Nope. Nuh-uh. No probl...ooh, orange.)

You have inspired me and instructed me tremendously! I would love to see individual color mixing videos that I can easily refer back to. My memory is not what it used to be, so I have trouble remembering which colors make good browns! I have never painted before, nor taken an art class. :-( I do understand basic color theory, but mixing colors is not very straightforward. Imagine my horror when I painted a koala mama and baby with a lovely gray that I created, only to see it dry blue! After much experimentation, I determined that the Titanium White that I used had a blue tint! How was I supposed to know that??! Thanks for your efforts in putting together this channel!

This is a nice tutorial. Very useful for a lot types of paintings and a great lesson for beginners.... but, when painting portraits it's so much easier to start with Raw Sienna for skin tones, which is not one of your starting colors. And then there is Mixing White which is a transparent white, but then I understand that this video is meant for learning the basics. And for that it is a good video. I just don't want anyone to think that it ends here. There is so much more. Keep learning!

Oh wow, this was really helpful. I'm still using a kit of smallish acrylic tubes I got years ago. It has mars black, titanium white, cadium red & yellow, ultramarine blue, sap green, burnt sienna and yellow ochre, but I've been thinking what colours I'll need to add to it. Glad I won't need that many. Last time I painted it bothered me that I couldn't mix as bright colours as I needed. I'm very new to painting at all since drawing has always been my medium of choice, so now that I've taken up painting I feel like I need to actually start knowing what I'm doing instead of just doing it, and somehow getting to the result I was seeking. I feel like I've always been bad wth colour, but it's mostly just because I've never delved deeper into them.

Began painting with a traditional professional, I was taught: white, cad. yellow, cad. red, crimson red, thalo blue, permanent blue, yellow orcher, burnt seinna, burnt umber. This pallet can be augmented with specialized colors depending on the subject & shouldn't be a closed book, so to speak. Happy painting.

Hi. I love the video but as a painter I must say sometimes it is hard to mix same color twice. So that is why I think a lot of painters rather use already mixed colors if possible, and hence that is why we have a studio full of differente tubes and bottles of color. :)

BMJ Art what has helped me has been jotting down the ratio. But I don't get fancy. I just write down what brush size I used to mix and how many " globs" of each lol. It has helped recreate colors.

BMJ Art That’s what mediums are for. If you add a polymer medium that doesn’t alter colour, you never need to mix twice.

Get plastic containers with ratio written on them make big batches of your fav mixes

@Iloveflowers2024 5 жыл бұрын

Creating a color chart can help with that. And also creating your own formulas and recording them. Eg. 1 part cad red + 2 part cad yellow = result and make paint swatches of the formula. Or whatever color combos you create.
