    Actually, using the lids never really crossed my mind! You, sir, are a true creative artist.

    I find that adding white will desaturate the color I am adding it to. Would you suggest (in the example in this video) painting a stripe of white over the black first and then your color over that (now dried) white?

      That could be a perfect solution providing you don't mind some of the white invariably remaining as part of the background color.

    Yellow is what I am on information for. Are there any yellows whiz by the self are opaque? New subscriber! I love your sense of humor! I want a vibrant opaque yellow. Btw, I too have a collection of those round color mixing items. Did you know you can also use them to make circles?😂

    Great idea of using the plastic lids!

      Right? And weirdly I seem to have an abundance of them!

    Would the red look redder if the second coat was just red w/o the white? I like the practical, no nonsense advice! Thanks!

      Absolutely! As long as the tinted red/pink covers the black line with the first coat, then red could be painted over it to brighten things up

    I had a good laugh at the “watching the paint dry”

    But how to maintain the shade ....mixing white is what actually makes color shade lighter

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters  Год назад +3

      Agreed, the white does tint the paint. However, you can cover dark areas with the tinted paint and add a layer of full color on top of that if you don't want the color to be too pale.

    • @timhartwick1986

      You would lay down white, let it dry and then paint the shade on top of the dry white.

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters  11 месяцев назад +1

      @@timhartwick1986 A good option, as well, providing the top color isn't too translucent.

    How I wish I had seen this before I’ve done about 1000layers of yellow over a dark blue and getting no where 😂

  • @LizzieMayne
    @LizzieMayne 11 месяцев назад

    Could you not add a white layer first, let it dry then add the yellow so the white doesn’t make the colours pastelly

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters  11 месяцев назад +1

      One possible issue is that if you put the white down first and then paint yellow over it, if the yellow is fairly translucent (which it often is) then the white may show through and change the color tone anyway. It would most likely take several coats of the yellow paint to cover up the white that way.
