I just made a artwork with light green used a bit goldish colour yellow and a tiny bit bleu so yeah your absolutly right. You need to use more yellow. and a litle bit blue. Thank you for confirming it.
Thank you so much for this Malcom, it’s been a real game changer. I’ve struggled getting the right colour for sun lit greens for so long but now I’m really nailing it it’s so exciting. I’ve actually managed to get that sunshine in my grass….. thank you 🙏
What a brilliant artist you are dear 👏👏👏. I'm elderly and took up art classes a year ago, gosh I wish I'd done it year's ago 🤭, you're an amazing instructor and appreciate you putting video's for those of us to learn and also admire. 🇦🇺
Great video! I'm from New England but when I visited Ireland I felt like I was really seeing the color green for the first time. I had thought that green Ireland thing was just a lot of hype. LOL
Excellent and very helpful video. I do indeed have issues with getting the correct greens in my paintings. Been messing too much with greens "off the shelf"
Dewey it's been a while since i last painted. after watching a few of your videos to refresh my memory about color theory I am ready to get going.thank you so much for the encouragement
Very helpful, as always. When I use the color picker in photoshop on sunny clear sky scenes I get colors that are Cinnabar right out of the tube. I want to use a limited pallette, but the dark, medium and light Cinnabar are dead on.
Hey Malcom, do you have a video on foliage that’s close up in the foreground? I’m doing a painting where the grass , flowers and other foliage is right up front but it looks like a jumbled mess.
This one may be helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yzSTG_MqrWk.html - Its all about simplification, big shapes and also make sure your composition is correct. There must be an easy path for the eye to enter the painting and not get held up by objects right in the foreground.
If you are looking for really bright greens use a yellow and a blue that already lean towards green. Lemon Yellow was a good one, and Pthalo blue is a green blue.
Hello, thank you for the demonstration. I have Ultramarine and Cad. Yellow Light ("lemon yellow"). Would a bit of Ultramarine and a lot of Cad. Yellow work for mixing bright green also? I'm asking because the Cerulean Blue you're using is a lot brighter than Ultramarine. And: Would Payne's Grey work too?
Cerulean would be better. Ultramarine has a hint of purple to it (which suggests red) and that will knock back the green slightly. I know opinions differ, but the point is if you want the zing to your green you will need cerulean or even cobalt. Yellow light is slighlty warmer than lemon yellow, but will still get you a bright green.
@@MalcolmDeweyHello again, I just got me a tube of Cerulean blue but I noticed it's an imitation made of phtalo blue, a type of white and a type of yellow pigments. Will this imitation ("hue") work also? I'm worried because it has a white pigment admixture.
