- I'm often asked about colour mixing. Here's a look at the kind of greens I work with and how I mix them. If you’d like to say thanks for these films and help us to fund more, please chip in with a donation at my fundraising page at GoFundMe gf.me/u/zd8bcq
Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge. I am forever grateful for all of your videos.
Thank you Laura for another informative video 😊
Thank you Laura!
Very, very helpful.
Hi Laura. When creating the natural greens for his wonderful landscapes, John Constable used a mix of lamp black and lemon yellow, not a hint of any blue was used. The late watercolourist, Rowland Hilder, also used this method in his landscapes and he called the mix "Constable green". I use a mix of various blacks with yellows (in both painting and printing) for my greens and the results are natural and quite luscious.
Good to know and thank you - I love hearing about colour mixing
@@LauraBoswellPrintmaker My pleasure. Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm a retired Englishman now living in Sweden and starting out in linocut art late in life (I usually paint in oils on canvas). I am learning so much from your excellent set of videos on the discipline and I admire your work and teaching very much. Thank you.
Excellent- happy printing😀
Very helpful Laura! l keep notes on all your advice, tips and refer to them often. l love greens and this video has been a great help to me. Thank you once again for all these splendid videos.
Thank you Laura.
Would you please comment on how to mix an opaque red? My Safe Wash red inks are transparent, I'd appreciate some guidance on how much white to add, or is there another/better way?
My favourite colour. I love sea greens in particular. It's amazing how many different greens are possible . Thanks again for sharing (-: Marion
You have encouraged me to launch out into lino cutting and printing. I only had 1 lino cut and wasn't happy about it, when I discovered your videos. Now I have 4 to print. I have reduced my original lino, still in deciding stage about it. Thank you so much for helping.
Laura and Mr B thank you for making these videos. You are extremely generous in sharing your knowledge. I really enjoyed this video and the one on grey. In fact I made a lovely soft blue grey today.
... sorry I meant remembering which colour you had used and how much of it ... too much happening in my head. Great videos, complements again to you and Ben for an expert and informative presentation of both your skills.
Thank you very much, that was very useful and interesting.
Sometimes I make prints of my mixing glass. I call those my Markandinsky's. Thanks for the video. Mark
Well done you two. I would like to see how to mix sky colours.
I have a colour wheel, not as comprehensive as a pantone chart.
When you have played with your inks to get the colour you want, how do you mix enough for your edition? I am interested to know whether this is something you do with colour matching of your new found ink colour rather than remembering how much of which colour ink, and how much, you have used in the "test" colour.
