    I began painting when I turned 70, went to the art store and bought Heaven knows how many colors. While I still mix colors, your video injected a hefty shot of adventure into what I think I can do, and I thank you for that.

      I just hit 60 and have been tinkering with painting for the last 5 years .. and didn't get seriously into it until i bumped into a bob Ross show on ytube.. thats what got me going ,at least i can leave something behind my descendants might make some money off of..Everyone knows artists usually die before they become famous and their art finally is worth something ,God forbid..hahaha

    These are colors I have never even seen before. Telling when you use them is so helpful. You are only in the yellows with more to go!, 👍🏼👍🏼 Think of the money we can save by learning these colors. 💰💰 Think of the money we can save just by learning this. 😊

  • @dr.anthonyforgione4253
    @dr.anthonyforgione4253 Před 2 lety +12

    I think a phthalo blue is a better blue to use for color mixing generally, because it is a truer primary.
    Ultramarine, is so warm, when lightened with white it becomes more like periwinkle than a true light blue.
    Nothing against ultramarine at all, just commenting with respect to those new to color theory, and learning about color mixing.
    But you are also showing, how you like to mix and use colors, so there’s some subjectivity shown also.
    I love how you made the different shades of brown.

    Its really not a simple process for a painter but it creates a world of possibilities for creating a personal painting world.

Thank you for having a passion for art and for people to learn it.

    I have just been watching of late. This episode of mixing colors is great, with the sun shining through the windows it helps me see the colors you are mixing. When you move the pallet just right, I am able to see the mixed colors you are speaking of. Thank you for your willingness to help us understand.

    Video extremely beneficial. I have been very timid with learning how to mix colors and therefore shied away from it. I was intimidated by them. Breaking down the simplicity of primary colors I am actually comfortably LEARNING how to use them. Thanks to your patrons for suggesting this video. It is great.

  • @patricialeclair1310
    @patricialeclair1310 Před 3 lety +1

    Filik, I'm happy you are teaching people how to mix colors with basic primer colors. Red, yellow, blue adding white and sometimes black.
    I have been using primary color for forty years.
    I was a billboard sign painting for 15 years in my younger days. I had to use primers buckets of enamel paint to mix colors using a process color guide . Now I know what to mix to get the color I want to paint like a pro. . . I guess I am.
    Sure saves from buying all those paint tubs. My artist friends use all of the verity of color. Why don't they tackle what we all did in grammar school. Primary, secondary and beyond. Thank you for this great lesson. I don't thing any other art teacher reviews this on CZcams.

  • @donnnafox2820
    @donnnafox2820 Před 5 lety +3

  • @annrubino6252
    @annrubino6252 Před 2 lety +5

    Feliks, you did a great job. As an acrylic abstract painter of many years, I love doing colour charts (at this point) for relaxing play and inspiration. I notice your chart used 3 "warm" primaries, hence lovely clear colours and neutrals - bravo. You might want to mention the ubiquitous colour temperature factor for the undocrinated. Thank you for being very clear, and pleasant.

    • @kalpagovekar7973
      @kalpagovekar7973 Před 4 lety +2

      Use Crimson red or Quinacridone red plus ultramarine blue to give you a good shade of purple .
      If you use Scarlet red you will get a muddy purple
