Of course we want Gimlet to be happy!! Thank you for all your expertise and showing how you think through the way the paint colors interact. Very helpful!
3 thumbs up ...if I had 3 thumbs! 😊 ... This Michele was one of your best teaching videos ever!!! Thank you so much!!! As a professional Artist for almost 50 years now I still struggle with mixing my own colours and finding the correct shade/tone...and have spent far too much $$$$ on various tubes of paint to accomplish that goal especially when a commission piece is concerned...just to get that certain colour right! I do know how to mix but have found that the lazy way out is doing a search on Amazon or such to find that colour instead looking in my own paint supply for the answer! Your video has given me just the right amount of inspiration to start doing this myself again and saving a few pounds/dollars as well !!! My new rescue puppy "Jordyn" aka Jordy will certainly enjoy the added biscuit money each month! So...again thank you so much Michele for the fantastic video! God bless and stay safe...Rus from across the pond in Pennsylvania ❤️🖌🎨🤓99mɛoiɛɛɛ6th
This is a GREAT mixing video. I've been painting with acrylics and found these tips useful for that medium as well. Gonna attempt a watercolor soon. I'm 69 and haven't painted a watercolor since high school.
I really enjoyed this video, especially the information regarding how you know whether a color is warm or cool. Tips like, “You know this color is color is cooler because you don’t see any yellow in it” , I’m paraphrasing here. Maybe a video (a slower pace) and a cheat sheet focused on tips to differentiate between warm and cool colors.
Two thumbs up! I love color mixing and color theory, and I'm really looking forward to the channel memberships. I wish I had had the benefit of your color mixing videos when I got my first watercolor paints. I would have wasted far less time making muddy greens from Ultramarine. Also, Congratulations on your blue sash; last time I recall you mentioning it, you had a green one.
Thank you, I have been blue for a couple of years, yes green was before. I am a trainee instructor now which slows my progression as I spend some time teaching :-)
Dear Michele, I'm so thankful for this video! I got exactly THIS problem (not for sky but for an evening view of buildings) that I couldn't get the right blue tone for it. Thank you so much for this enlightening video. You just solved one of my main problems! (Please excuse my perhaps bad english, I am German).
Loved hearing your thought processes while colour mixing / matching 😊 I like the sound of your channel membership too 😊 hope the launch is successful 👍🤞xx
Yourvideos always are interesting. New information all so useful, even if I don’t use it at present, you‘re a mine of information & your love of teaching shines through. Thanks
A great video Michele, I love to swatch my colours before diving in and I'll definitely be using the isolation tip.😊 Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge.
I love them too. I am not sure Jackman's sell them to the public, they used to but I think there were issues with leakage when they were sent by air... Of course you can put your own tube paints in containers like this.
Oh yes, very helpful! I am almost at the point where I can call out what colors you might be mixing up to make these color matches. I’m also guilty for not using my white card to isolate the colors I am trying to get a match for. Thanks for the reminder of using the white card & especially for how to go about to matching colors needed for painting! Enjoy your weekend! 💖💕😉
This video is so interesting and very helpful! I tried to guess what colours would be best to use for getting the desired results and surprisingly I was on the right way for most of them 🙂! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and your great tutorials, Michele.
If you mean the Ultramarine, it simply means it's further to the green end of the spectrum than the red end. It will still look blue, it's a tiny difference :-)
Particularly with blues and greens I find it hard to know if they are warm or cool. Using your sage top helped with the green, and tho I might get some of the blues I am not always sure. This was helpful though overall, thank you.
I absolutely love these videos! It's so helpful. I really struggle with my greens. Not sure why but it seems like I just can't get that sap green I want regardless of how many colors I mix or try. Thank you for this helpful video. Have a great day a
Great video. Could you share what brands offer “non granulating” Ultramarine Blue? I’ve not heard of that at all but I’d like to get my hands on some. I don’t always want granulation when I use that pigment but I do love it and use it a lot. Thanks
In the UK the SAA has a non granulating ultramarine, and I think some other brands do too. Remember it isn't technically possible to make an ultramarine that doesn't granulate, it's an inherent property of the pigment, so these non granulating colours are actually mixes that imitate ultramarine. An alternative is Phthalo blue (red shade) and it can be made more like ultramarine by adding a transparent pink such as quinacridone, or a clear violet.
I know this isn't a mixing question but I need a new tube of yellow. I've been using Cad yellow light for my warm yellow, I don't want to go orange like new gamboge just warm. Should I switch to Hansa yellow light or medium instead? Or something else you'd recommend for a basic warm yellow.
Hansa yellow medium is probably about right, an alternative is Aureolin. Unfortunately you will need to check each brand as they vary so much. What is 'light' in one brand may be considered 'medium' in another. Many manufacturers will sell you 'dot' cards so you can swatch the paints, worth considering if you have a favorite brand.
