Thank you ! I just started painting and I'm already overwhelmed with the range of available colors. This really helps !

@dogloverjb6873 Год назад

wow...loe the visuals on the color wheel you set up. After 30 yrs , I finally understand how I was getting "mud"

@KatherinePond-p9n 2 месяца назад

The first explanation of color mixing and buying paints that has been clear and concise--I feel so much more confident in creating my colors than ever before. I'm sure I waste far less medium trying for colors that are vibrant and beautiful.. Every new artist should view this video before buying one tube of paint other than white or black!!!Thank you

@jennifermoen9435 6 лет назад

love it..white black! :) Great job and very clear. Pretty much a summary of a year of color theory in college!

@joelhenry4643 9 месяцев назад

Invaluable info and cool graphics and video edits. Love the choice of filters for the intro.

@lesliecallaway6544 5 лет назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the color bias PDF!!! I have always wondered what the differences are!!! I am late to the party, but so glad I showed up! I am loving the 3 day color challenge - I am learning so much!!!! - Love, Leslie from Texas!

@SusanMJB45 Год назад

Excellent explanation !!!! I learned this many years ago when I first started painting and I'm so very very lucky that I did. Knowing what you are teaching in this video, makes all the difference in the world !!! Well done and thank you !!!

@jqeckman 6 лет назад

Thank you for this! I always struggle knowing which colors have what bias.

@Newlinjim 17 дней назад

When he says ‘bias’ he is referring to wether the bias is warm or cool. If you can’t tell use a palette knife and spread it thinly on a white paper,still not sure, add a bit of titanium white.

@juliehouck6154 4 года назад

Thank you! Never knew about color bias in paints before!

Happy to help!

@catherinelenoci6999 6 лет назад

Definitely great information, thank you!!

@Jennifr1966 Год назад

I'm 56 years old and NEVER knew or understood ANY of this until you explained it. I can't thank you enough. I'm saving this video! I have a question, though: let's say I want to paint a German shepherd. How do I know which black to choose? What about the lighter colors, that look similar to a pomeranian? I see a slight yellowish reddish appearance, I think, though it's called tan???

@helengibson8196 6 лет назад

I've only just discovered your videos and I'm loving them. Thank you!

@Uniacoty Год назад

Very helpful, the golden acrylic are very expensive so just trying to buy the most nesscary colors to start off with.

@sharonedwards9223 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this! Wish I had found you sooner!

@d.m.p360 3 года назад

Thanks for this video

@gbear768 6 лет назад

so helpful! When you are using the word bias, would that be the same as calling them warm or cool?

@EverythingArt 6 лет назад

Hi Gina, yes, the same idea, warm colours tend to be red to yellows and cold violets to green :)

@mathewfines8727 Месяц назад

What about earth tones such as umber and sienna?

@reddoglady1 6 лет назад

thanks for the good info jamie

@robinjeree 6 лет назад

This is so helpful!

@andreaf6123 3 года назад

very helpful! Thanks a lot

@thomasry1 Год назад

Excuse my ignorance but why Not buying other colors instead of mixing them? Is mixing better and why? Thank you

@vickihollander6527 2 года назад

A real revelation...So the idea is to mix colors that have the same bias...two biased towards red, or two biased towards green, or two biased towards yellow? Thank you ever so much!!

@EverythingArt 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! To mix vibrant secondaries, both primaries should be biased toward the secondary colour you want to get. It will give you the most juicy colours but of course there's no right or wrong, it all depends on the result that you want to achieve :)

@tannaorr4133 7 месяцев назад

I actually like the muted colors

@sophielouise4154 4 года назад

Are these colour names across all brands? So if I buy a cadmium red, it’ll be a red with an orange bias? x

@EverythingArt 4 года назад

Yes that's right, as long its a true cadmium.

@luisalimone4965 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. I have a question; after watching the video I bought all 6 paint colors and tried them out for the Color confidence challenge and all 3 of the colors are slow drying. It takes a long time to dry. How do you make them dry faster?

@EverythingArt 4 года назад

Hi Luisa, which exact paints did you buy? Are they the Golden open acrylics?

@luisalimone4965 4 года назад

@@EverythingArt Yes Golden. I bought cadmium yellow medium hue, hansa yellow opaque, cadmium red medium hue, quinacridone red, cerulean blue chromium and ultramarine blue. I don't know if it's the same color as yours. The 2 blue and the quinacridone red are slow-drying.

@EverythingArt 4 года назад

@@luisalimone4965 If you do have Open Acrylics they are designed to dry slowly, but standard Heavy Body from Golden should dry in around 20 minutes, obviously if the paint is applied thickly or you are in a colder or more humid environment this can be longer, a heat gun will speed up the process to some extent.

@luisalimone4965 4 года назад

@@EverythingArt I have just discovered that there are these two kinds of paintings; the open and the golden and their differences. I didn't know this when I bought them. It's interesting and a little scary because I don't know how to use them yet. As you talk about this brand of acrylic paint in your video, I would find it informative if you talk about the different ways to use them.

@jondoh587 4 месяца назад

@@luisalimone4965 I like paint that dries slower when I'm doing wet-into-wet blending on the canvas. (So this would be a good application for the Open paint.) And using a water mister bottle adds a bit of working time, too. But on the other hand, if I want layers of paint (wet on top of dry) then I want that bottom layer to dry fast. Impatient! In that case, I would not use the Open paint. I'd be more inclined to use a fluid paint and maybe speed things along with a hairdryer.

good info - but it is not pertaining to the TITLE, however. The title said how to pick the right ACRYLICS for mixed-media. Not "how to mix your own acrylic colors for mixed media" or the like. So I really think a re-titling is necessary. Otherwise, VERY good info for us newbies (or even those who aren't new but seem to struggle with this). I've had to be re-introduced to the color wheel and how the colors mix/play together, myself. And i'm 36 (graduated in 2000, if that gives you better perspective LOL. My last art class was indeed in 1999-2000 but it didn't go into all this stuff. It was more a broad range of things - drawing still life in pencil, and stuff. not COLOR THEORY)

@EverythingArt 6 лет назад

Hi ibkristykat, thank you for your great comment, with mixed media what you need is a wide range of colours, due to the variety of works you may do and the non constraints of traditional painting. I cannot say what are the best colours as its down to personal choice at the end of the day, but having a general collection of basics plus the ability to use them, I feel is having the right acrylics.

@princess20-sideddie95 6 лет назад

I agree with ibkristykat. I clicked on the video expecting to see which type of acrylic paint (heavy body, soft body or liquid) lent itself better to mixed media applications. Or possibly which brand of acrylic paint meshed better with other types of media. The last thing I was expecting was a video on which colours to buy. Maybe call it the best colours of acrylics for mixed media?

@EverythingArt 6 лет назад

Hi Princess Buttercup, sorry for the confusion, we have retitled the video more accurately.

@ibkristykat 6 лет назад

Everything Art - :) I'm trying to use more than just *craft* paint, so i've rediscovered my chalk soft pastels, and gotten some watercolors for Christmas, and want to look into getting decent acrylic paints, so... this is just the vid for me. Seeing as i'm not great at mixing, me thinks I'm going to have to practice that before getting expensive paints, though LOL
