Excellent , practical and substantive instruction as usual . Chelsea, having your videos is like having a college level course in my laptop , Will be watching 🌟
Pretty neat! I had picked up color chips before to have on hand to choose from arbitrarily, but didn't figure out that I could actually use them to obtain the right color in an image that I was painting. So thank you!
👋Thank you very much, Chelsea, I really appreciate you introducing these paint chips. I have never heard of them; that's one of the downsides of being a non-pro. Such a helpful tip! I wish you a pleasant weekend and - happy painting🙂❤
Using hardware paint samples as the “middleman” is brilliant! Especially with ADHD, I tend to gravitate towards complexity and get overwhelmed and this little step will force my brain to the simple. Definitely going to try it!
Thank you Chelsea. Great idea.... I am bad at mixing some greens and definitely going to do this. I'm also bad for never printing images (having no printer) and painting off screen but I know that would help too. Pretty much just using what I got.
In a former life, I worked in graphic design and have several Pantone books I can use. Never even thought of that before watching this today. Brilliant!!! I am so thrilled. I would like to add that color harmony is key. So if you have a limited palette, then get close, but I wouldn’t introduce a new color (e.g. adding a cobalt turquoise if it isn’t in the mix already). Just a thought on color harmony in the totality of the work.
Approximately how long can you leave your paint on the palette before it gets too dry to use? Can you bring it back if it does? Is there a way to preserve the paint on the palette?
Excellent, my biggest problem is trying to remix color match when I didn’t mix enough the first time! I hate having to do the process twice… so either mix more or write it down? Lol
Since you are using a glass pallette, can you place the swatch beneath the glass and match as you mix the paint over the swatch? Then just a dot on the swatch itself for verification once there...
I’ve always wondered. When you do a study of someone else’s work and you replicate it. Can you sell it as long as you don’t try and pass it off as the original? Are there laws concerning such a thing? Just to be clear, I’m not talking about counterfeiting. You paint the painting. Sign your name on it assuring it’s not counterfeit.
Hi I guess you are not giving the proper work flow of Color mixing method. Basically Its must be 1) chroma 2) Value 3) Hue In simple terms, first to identify the chroma or the color which you wish to match in your available paints. next the value to be matched and tune the hue to the nearest. Irrespective of the chroma and the hue, I think the value is the most important thing to be matched.
