Using a transparent color to darken a light color is a revelation! Thanks!

I love your tips. It's like drinking color theory from a fire hose.

6:42 I really like this idea of using darker transparent colours to mix with lighter colours so that darker shades retain some vibrancy. I am going to have to play with this. Thanks so much!

Great having you back. Have a good one Dianne

Thank you Dianne, for this invaluable short , clear , and concise lectures , and for the generosity of sharing your knowledge. You are an excellent teacher and painter.

As always with your quicktips, I am so motivated to go and try this. I thought I had the color code cracked with complements, but this opens up new horizons! Thank you!

Thank you for a more in depth explanation of darkening yellow. I love mixing colors and this quick tip just took me to a whole new level of understanding. The fun part about painting is that you never stop learning.

[4:36] "And I'm not quite sure what's available in acrylic." In my experience, for the most part, any tube color that is available in oils is also available in acrylic though not necessarily every manufacturer carries them all, and few do like to use creative names so be sure to check those pigment numbers.

Top level stuff.

You are amazing!!

This was very helpful! Wish I had watched it before I painted those yellow orchids today. Thank you!

You are so excellent.

Very helpful information. Your instructions are so very excellently visually displayed. Thank you.

Great tip. I think your matching of colors is easier to see when you put some paint on a piece of paper and hold it next to what you are trying to match,

you are awesome, thank you

❤Thank you.

I don't know what is more complicated, painting lemons 🍋or rocket science 🚀

I would've tried with earth colors even though purple is it's compliment on the wheel. My darkest voilet is permanent blue violet seeing I mostly paint with Amsterdam acrylics, but now I've found dioxazine purple at Golden so that's on my shoppinglist now 😀 Thank you.

thankyou

Dianne, you are as good as your word! This was my quick tip request which you had agreed to address. Thank you so much for it. I'm sure these guidelines will be helpful to additional viewers, as well. On a different note: I am still unable to discern the desaturated blue in the tree bark of the latest chat. Could this be caused by the particular set-up of a computer monitor? (Experimenting with software didn't help.) Or does this sometimes happen as a result of different visual perceptions on the part of different viewers? Thank you once again for your elucidating quick tip. Be well, Carol.

Thank you for this valuable information. I will try this with orange. Every time I try to make orange more opaque, it changes the color too dramatically. It goes to peach or mud.

why are subtitles disabled?

There's a British artist I just discovered on RU-vid who makes a good argument that compliment colour mixing doesn't always work.He doesn't use that method. He demonstrated that using compliments in the lighter values strips the saturation.He chooses instead to use colours like raw and burnt umber,transparent oxide red ect.They appear to work very well.He paints a lot of floral pictures so maintaining saturation in the lighter values is very important.

I have pretty good mixing for color skill but I never mix enough of it. Bad habit.. dibby dab it and then I need to keep mixing on the spot again and again. I think it has to do with conservation of supplies because I really don’t like waste. I suppose it’s ok but wastes time?

the subtitles are only in English. Please activate the subtitles in the other languages ​​as well

Yella? 🤣
