AWESOME!!! Such a refresher in how to mix colors to make brown, especially for the brown hues of humanity. Thank you thank you thank you, I will have fun mixing my water colors and painting people.
I have binge watched a ton of your videos over the weekend and I love that over the years your stripped apron has stayed true to form 😃 a valuable accessory indeed 😄
My granddaughter is 6 years old. She loves to watch your videos. She and I have been watching all your videos today. She is so funny. She makes comments while your talking. She is really impressed with you.
Hello Michelle! I watch your videos on a regular basis and learn lot from them! I even tefer you to a number of groups I am in that talk about acrylic paint pouring. Glad to follow your channel! In the comments on this video, a user named danielledonfro asks about cmy being the primary colours, and you replied with a few things I have to disagree with regarding colour theory and primary colours. (This is a little long... sorry!) Soo... CMYK are colours used in dye, ink, and paint colours. Commercial offset printers use them so that they can produce every colour in the subtractive colour space. Colours are wavelengths of light, and are perceived by our eyes in terms of Red, Green, and Blue, since we have those 3 colour receptor cones in our eyes. Additive colour-meaning combining colours to get white- RGB is used in computer monitors and older TVs. The colours in a tube TV are a projection against the screen using red, green, and blue lights. Computer screens even now create colour by varying the colour of the number of red, green, and/or blur pixels needed to create various colours. Either way, these variations in colour produce visual imagery just as it is on the visual electromagnetic spectrum. CMYK is a system of subtractive colour -removing all colour to get white- that defines how pigments, dyes, and inks reflect light. Munsell colour models and even thise based on his work cover this in a few places. All three mediums reflect light, just produce those reflections in different ways. Pigments are naturally occurring elements that reflect light and are geound up into fine powwders we call mica. These powders are used in suspensions and emulsions we know as inks, dyes, and paints. Many of these elements can be achieved synthetically, and replicated in chemical processes to create less expensive inks and dyes. The use of synthetics in inks is seen most obviously in commercial printing, which use the CMYK colour space defined by Munsell and several other scientists that used his model as the basis for research into the physics of colour. In fact, even Munsell covered the more detailed way of defining colour using the acronyms HSB/HSV (hue, saturation, brightness/value), or HVC (hue, value, and chroma). Newer colour models go into more depth on this colour space and its physics. Believe it or not some paint manufacturers even use the HSB/HVC notations to define the way their paint behaves. So, putting the depth of the math aside, here is the definition of primary colour: pri·ma·ry col·or ˈprīˌmerē,ˈprīm(ə)rē ˈkələr/ noun plural noun: primary colors any of a group of colors from which all other colors can be obtained by mixing. This can be done with CM & Y paint, though paint has other ingredients which can make the colour appear darker. It is easier to compare CMY vs RYB using ink such as alcohol ink, or even alcohol markers with ink. We can create a demo of colour mixing by comparing both colour spaces the following way: creating red. Using alcohol markers, find one labeled red, or something like “true red” or “vibrant red” and draw a small square on a piece of paper. Next to/below it, draw a rectangle using a marker labelled magenta, and another labelled yellow. Then draw over the magenta with yellow. The result will be a very bright and vivid red, which is a near mathematical match of red in the electromagnetic spectrum. The same is true when using cyan and yellow to create green. Using markers labelled yellow and blue will create a shade of green, but mixing cyan and green you get a far more accurate and mathematically correct green. RYB colour is not able to create a colour like cyan without adding white and another colour. The same goes for creating magenta. Yellow is pretty straightforward and the quality of it depends on the quality of the pigment used. Since white is what is left after subtracting all colour, using it to create those colours breaks the definition of subtractive colour. This brings us back to commercial printing using inks. The pigments in the inks used are synthetic at this point, but the use of cyan, magenta, and yellow allows them to create every colour possible in subtractive colour. Painters use RYB all the time as the triadic colour wheel can be helpful in learning colour relationships, but it does not teach the science that creates and defines colour. The Munsell model, which is not based in RYB, and those to follow after it however, do.
😊Wow! I would never have thought this would help with mixing colors for cake decorating. I always thought people would use chocolate for that. Hope it helped!!
thanks for this video. good one. a query - you have mixed it all flat in palette, so how to get this off the palette and use for project. I want for dot painting. I need in palette itself. how much drops for each colour ? pls reply.
I made a beautiful brown with these colors that was perfect for what I was doing. I would've never thought to use these specific colors together, so thank you for showing me the "brown"! ;)
Bill Nolan Are you asking how to mix black from the three primaries? First of all I would say TRY IT! Experience is truly the best teacher. But as a hint start with the blue and red mixture and then add the yellow last. See
I would mix with a palette knife so it’s easier to clean up, but if we mix with a paintbrush, it’s much harder to clean the brush. Palette knives are tools that are designed for mixing and spreading paint :)
Hi Matt - Thanks so much for asking - it's Green Shade. I'll note that in the video description. Although if you had only Red Shade in your kit, I think you could also come up with a lovely brown.
I don't know what leather brown is and wouldn't advise on color mixing without seeing it but you can use what you learned here to experiment with a small amount of your paint and see what you need to add. I wouldn't add black. I teach color mixing without black. I rarely ever use black in painting.
@@leoperrdakatatum3568 Good question! I have one cued up to come out tomorrow. I was hoping to get my recent studio tour out but I need to find a video editor. I don't know how to edit on my own. :) Be well!
Her name is Reilly and she says Hi back. She wants me to give her paints so she can mix colors so I guess that is what we are going to do when she comes to visit again.
Strange re pthalo blue green shade - doesn't it have a bias toward green then? There is just a plain pthalo. Also the tray looks awkward. The lip would prevent easy mixing. Good tip re truest primaries, same as CMYK digital painting.
+panie ombay I could tell you but an direct answer but you would not learn as much about color nor have the power that experimentation gives you. If you were in my class I would say to you "There are three colors in the mixture, which color do you think you need more of to make a brown-orange?" There are only 3 choices. What do you think? Hint: it's not blue.
husny jamal There are several different phthalo blues. Some have a green shade, some a red shade and some a yellow shade. The Munsell color system rates colors for bias. Please google Munsell color system if you'd like to learn more. RUclips does not allow me to attach links to my response. All pigments have some sort of a bias. In this palette I have am using 3 colors that are close to the center hue position and will mix an excellent range of hues for those who would like to stick to a limited palette for whatever reason: budget, learning, simplicity. Best of luck with your painting!
Is your "terracotta" a brownish red? Terra cotta isn't an actual pigment name so the manufacturer could have use many pigments to make it up. But with a brownish read like burnt sienna I use ultramarine blue.
Hello Bharat! I had to google chikoo as we don't have them here in the US. In photos it looks like a warm toned light brown. Probably mostly yellow with some of the red an only the smallest amount of the blue I'm using in this video. Then add a zinc white (less chalky than titanium white) until the desired lightness is achieved.
Cyan magenta and yellow are process colors and not pigments, they are dyes used in printmaking. They are also colors used in digital imagery which is also subtractive color. In physical color we use additive color mixing Paints are made with actual pigment particles from the earth or synthesized in a lab. They are actual particles of color which is why we have so many to choose from but you are right none are "True Primaries." These pigments I used in the video were very specifically chosen because are the closest to Red, Yellow and Blue and dead center on the color wheel of red yellow and blue. It would take a lot to explain this but look up the Munsell color system or study the color charts and the Munsell hues of the various pigments to see what I mean. Happy painting!
Yes! There are many, many ways to mix beautiful browns. This is just one of them using the primary colors for those who are studying color mixing using a primary color palette.

Very goooooooood
I like that tray. Where did you get that from? How much did it cost?
What would the difference have been if you had used black instead of brown ? Thanks for the nice vid

What color do you get if you mix a brown and bronze?
Thank you
Can you mix turquoise with red and get a goldish brownish color??
I made the light brown!!😀😀😊😊😀😁😂😂:);)
Thank you so much but would this work with clay?❤️
SO COOL 😎
You are so welcome!!
my friends told me if you want a yellow sheet to look old mix blue yello and red and paint the yellow sheet is it true
Thanks nice chocolate color
Rose Green you are welcome, Rose!
Very helpful thanks 👍
You are so welcome, Nik.
Thx this is very helpful!!

Thanks!
How making Shiny brown colour

Her name is Reilly and she says Hi back. She wants me to give her paints so she can mix colors so I guess that is what we are going to do when she comes to visit again.
But I LIKE the streaks in the paint brush.
Celtic Whisper, it’s ok if you like streaks in the brush, but I recommend mixing acrylic/oil paints using a palette knife
Strange re pthalo blue green shade - doesn't it have a bias toward green then? There is just a plain pthalo. Also the tray looks awkward. The lip would prevent easy mixing. Good tip re truest primaries, same as CMYK digital painting.
And btw, black is beautiful for bold expressive painting
All phthalo blues have a blue or green bias. This palette has been specially formulate to be closest to true primaries on the Munsell color system.
Hello. I don't have a pallete knife (out of stock). Any alternatives?

Red and blue aren't primary colors... you can get much richer browns and a wider variety with the actual primary colors, cyan, magenta and yellow

I shat myself
this camera angle
wash and reuse the rags, piles of cloth coated in paint in landfill isn't great either
But that's not the primary color
I love this video, but the sound of the knife on the metal is terrible on the teeth! :(
Oh dear! Sounds like the fingernails-on-a-chalkboard response. Yikes. 😬
Man!it made purple #upset
i thought green was a primary color
+Jack Daniels Green is a secondary color - mixed from blue and yellow. Purple and Orange are also secondary colors.
I only see red blue and yellow what she say again 😆😆😆
Or just mix green and red?
Yes! There are many, many ways to mix beautiful browns. This is just one of them using the primary colors for those who are studying color mixing using a primary color palette.
many artists don't buy green, as you can just make it with yellow and blue
You don't even listen! I want you to mix green and yellow!!! >:(
