Best help for me so far! I cannot thank you enough! I wish you would do more! What a magnificent artist you are, I can't take my eyes away from your landscape! Thank you Marc
Thank you for this! mixing greens is a big struggle for me and understanding the theory behind color selection was incredibly valuable. Saved this to watch again!
Thank you for a very logical and helpful way of laying out the different greens that you use. I have been mixing greens using these base colours but as there are so many possibilities I get confused about which combination to turn to for a specific purpose. 😊
Great demo and artwork shown here! I’ve recently been choosing which colors for a limited landscape palette but in acrylics. I like (Cad yellow light, Yellow ochre, Cerulean blue, Naphthol crimson, Raw umber, Chrome oxide green and Ivory black.) I find it can produce a large variety of greens that work together.
Really educational! Thank you! I've never painted squares like that - I'll definitely have to try it. If nothing else, I think it would help my eye and help me learn to control the colors better.
Thank you so much for making this video! It really helped to see your gorgeous landscape painting in the background while comparing to each color blended on the squares. Learned a lot! Was soo confused about greens before. Thank you!!
Very generous of you to share the recipes, as if a Michelin chef shares his ingredients. Thank you. Viridian is my base pigment for greens (because it can be turned down easily with alizarin hue and plays nicely with ochre, oranges-yellows and transparent red oxide) but I will definitely try cerulean approach. I also would love to see your sky color mixes. Sometimes I have very hard time mixing the right hue or decreasing the chroma of the sky, and I guess cobalt blue might be part the solution but haven't tried yet.
Thank you for sharing your paints and knowledge with us all! This really helps and I could only hope for similar lessons on other colors like browns, etc… Thanks again 🙏
Medium and solvent. My medium recipe is on my blog (there's also a video recipe here on my channel somewhere). For solvent I use spike oil these days, as my wife is allergic to turpentine.
