In this video I match the color of a variety of green food with acrylics. There's a variety of ways of mixing green. For vivid greens you can start with Phthalo Green or mix it from Pthalo Blue and yellow. A good formula for mixing a muted, duller green is to use ultramarine blue because it's biased more towards magenta. Or you can use sap green like I did in the Asparagus demonstration.
MY ACRYLIC COLOR MIXING COURSE
I have a course where I teach the basics of color mixing. I cover the tools and the colors that I use, how to neutralize color, how to compensate for how acrylics dry darker and more.
