In this video the Dutch artist Lennaert Koorman explains the difference between Sap Green vs Cinnabar Green. Check the art gallery of Lennaert here: www.moderndutc...
I came to oil painting late in life and it didn't take me long (after much experimentation) to discover just how far ahead of the field the excellent Old Holland range is. The sap green lake extra, shown here, and the blue-violet are, in my opinion, the two most dazzlingly beautiful colours that I have yet come across in oil paint.
@@LennaertKoorman You are doing a great job.. it helped me a lot advance my understanding of colour theory.. especially that I paint scale models, so understanding concepts like Split primaries, cold vs warm blacks elevated my painting a lot and made transitioning from acrylic hobby paints to artist oils an easier task
Thank you for this video, it’s really interesting and very helpful. I use acrylic paint but the principles are the same. I would really like to see more of these type of videos
This video helped me because I was trying to get a blue-green and you mentioned that you mixed Sap Green with Paynes grey in your painting which looks like the hue I want to achieve. I was trying to use ultramarine blue and permenent green with some red to neutralize it, but I wasn't getting what I wamted.
Hi Tofoo, you are right. Mercury is very toxic though. Cinnabar Green, the oil color is a pre-mixed (that's what the 'Extra' in its name stands for) paint made from Cadmium zinc sulphide - Chromium hydroxide & Synthetic Ultramarine. And above all, it's a wonderful color! Hope that helps. Best regards, Lennaert
