Hi Kevin ... at last a method for mixing browns that makes sense and produces results. Many thanks. I've just returned to painting and work mainly with wildlife subjects where the use of the appropriate browns is critical, especially the lighter tans. Your process works for me. I particularly like your use of technical terms that clearly describe specific stages of achieving the result I want; "screaming green" is my favourite ;-) Don't change a thing. Again, thank you.
I really have learned a lot from your videos, but cringe with the paper palette with its wrinkles and scraping sounds. It also makes the colors look odd. How about glass with white paper under? Also, the way the paint is set up is so random. Why not in their proper order? I just don't see where on the spectrum these colors are nor do you use the names of the colors. Just yellow, orange, not cad yellow light, cad orange, vermillion, etc ...
Hello, Roslyn thank you for the feedback. I have changed the surface I am using for the color videos, in terms of the colors these are organized chromatically perhaps in reverse order but I am left-handed so it works for me. The colors start with a very lemon yellow or yellow-green to yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet and then blue-green. I mixed the tertiary colors so I moved them over to the side these are not in chromatic order. In terms of the paint colors, I believe it's important to analyze the color and where it sits on the color wheel more than get bogged down with the particular pigments. I have used over a dozen or more pallets overt the years so you could trade my yellow and reds and blues with all kinds of variations and it will still work because I use the color based on where they sit on the color wheel.
