💜💜 Thank you. Mixing purples is always fun!
I absolutely love your approach and advice to beginner artists. Many thanks for sharing your wisdom!!
So glad you enjoyed it Deborah!
Many people think that red, blue and yellow are the primaries but the real primaries are magenta, cyan and yellow. To get the most vibrant purple you need magenta and cyan. Similarly the most vibrant green is cyan and yellow and the most vibrant orange is magenta and yellow. But, having a cool and warm red and a cool and warm blue will provide lots of options and most of the time you don't want the most vibrant color.
Never underestimate the power of mixing colours. I don't do it enough!!
So true!
I try not to be negative to myself but I used to think that I am almost colorblind for shades. I never see what colour is dominant or which one to add to mix shade I like. I was a little stressed about it but watching your videos I realised that I am just a beginner and need much much practice. Your advices are so useful and encouraging that I get a wish to explore and learn, to dive much deeper without a fear of failure. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻💜
I think in the beginning, we all struggle with this. I will also be hosting a free LIVE webinar about colour mixing if you are interested in joining me: event.webinarjam.com/register/3/8m2r6h1 🤗
@@ThisPaintingLifethank you, I will. You are a great teacher 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💜
Painting irises this week and this tutorial is so helpful. Thanks Louise!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hours of fun. Thanks Louise.
You’re welcome 😊
Exactamundo, Louise. Colour theory is the nervous system and Value is the backbone. So many teaching artists pay lip service to colour mixing and dispense finite recipes without any of the fundamental knowledge required to pay it forward. Short lessons such as this lead to broader, practical understanding of temperature and chroma, without overwhelming the student with science. Kudos to you!
thanks
Thank you for sharing. My problem is mixing enough while I'm painting. But I'm still new at this, so the more I practice I'll figure it out 😅
Use more paint!
Thank you for sharing, and the encouragement to do some mixing & recording each time I come to do some art. I can see the real value in this and will follow that advice - starting today ❤
You are so welcome and I would love to hear how it goes for you!
So, I’ve been following this through and wow I’m genuinely surprised by how it’s opened my eyes! From having a basic “oh yes, I know blue and red make purple etc”, I’m now “oh my, look at all the different colours these different blues etc make mixed with these different reds!!” And then I’m noticing the ones I like and don’t like so much, and getting ideas of how nicely certain colours go together in my eyes. Who knew such a simple exercise could have such a valuable impact. Much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Louise. Don’t know why I’ve had so much fear around color mixing, but it’s been a real stumbling block for me. Your video has been so helpful!! 🙏🏼🩷
I'm so glad! Give it a shot! You may just love it.
I think you may be right!!! 💖
I really enjoyed this video!! Thank you for sharing it!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Louise...
You are so welcome!
Nice warm CA brown on your arms! So two cools make the best purple?
Absolutely! But the best thing to do is experiment with what you have. This is the best way to learn. 😊
